Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wanna love you and treat you right
I wanna love you
Every day and every night
We'll be together
With a roof right over our heads
We'll share the shelter
Of my single bed
We'll share the same room, yeah
But Jah provide the bread

Is this love, is this love, is this love
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
Is this love, is this love, is this love
Is this love that I'm feelin'?

I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know now
I got to know, got to know, got to know now
I, I'm willing and able
So I throw my cards on your table

I wanna love you, I wanna love and treat, love and treat you right
I wanna love you every day and every night
We'll be together, yeah
With a roof right over our heads
We'll share the shelter, yeah, oh yeah
Of my single bed
We'll share the same room, yeah
But Jah provides the bread

Is this love, is this love, is this love

Overall Meaning

Bob Marley's song "Is This Love" is a declaration of his desire to love and care for his partner. He repeatedly expresses his willingness to share a roof and a single bed with her, confident that Jah (God) will provide them with bread. Marley is asking if what he feels is real love, with a genuine desire for intimacy, and whether his affection is reciprocated.


The lines "I, I'm willing and able, so I throw my cards on your table" indicates his readiness to commit to her fully, to take a chance and see if their love can flourish. Marley's voice is smooth, and the upbeat melody is an embodiment of the joy he expresses in a new relationship. His openness reflects the faith he has in love's transformative power, and his earnestness is inspirational for anyone who has experienced the lush beauty of new love.

J’ai envie de t’aimer
Et te respecter
J’ai envie de t’aimer
Le jour comme la nuit
On sera ensemble
Avec un toit juste au-dessus de nos têtes
On sera bien à l’abri
Dans mon lit simple
On partagera la même chambre, oui
Ô Jah fournit le pain

Est-ce l’amour, est-ce l’amour, est-ce l’amour
Est-ce l’amour que je ressens là ?
Est-ce l’amour, est-ce de l’amour, est-ce l’amour
Est-ce l’amour que je ressens là ?
Je veux savoir, veux savoir, veux savoir maintenant
Je dois savoir, dois savoir, dois savoir maintenant
Moi-a-a-a-a, je suis consentant et capable
Alors je jette mes cartes sur ta table

J’ai envie de t’aimer
J’ai envie de, t’aimer et te respecter

Jesus Christ Saves

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is returning very soon, and is the reason for all of the things that are happening on the Earth right now. This planet is on borrowed time.

Jesus Christ died on a cross, was buried in a tomb, and rose from the dead 3 days later, to pay for the sins of mankind, to give us eternal life and forgiveness from God.

EXACTLY how to be Saved by Jesus Christ, the Son of God:

1. Confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord.

2. Believe in your heart that God has raised Jesus Christ from the dead.

Biblical References:
1. Romans 5:9
2. Romans 3:23
3. Romans 6:23
4. Romans 10:9
5. Romans 10:13
6. Ephesians 2: 8 & 9
7. John 3:16

God bless you, peace be with you always. Thank you for your time.
