During 1970 and 1971, Wailer, Marley and Tosh worked with renowned reggae producers Leslie Kong and Lee "Scratch" Perry.
They released four albums before signing to Island Records in 1972. Two more albums were created before Tosh and Wailer left the band in 1974, citing grievances over label treatment and ideological differences. Marley carried on with a new line-up, including the I-Threes that put out seven more more albums. Marley died in 1981.
The Wailers were a groundbreaking ska and reggae group, noted for songs such as "Simmer Down", "Trenchtown Rock", "Nice Time", "War", "Stir It Up" and "Get Up, Stand Up".

Bob Marley & The Wailers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So far across the sea (repeat)
To have you all, my dreamland
Would be like heaven to me (repeat)
We'll get our breakfast from the tree
We'll get our honey from the bees
We'll take a ride on the waterfalls
And we'll live together on that dreamland
And have so much fun (repeat)
Oh, what a time that will be
Oh yes, we'll wait, wait, wait and see
We'll count the stars up in the sky...
...And surely we'll never die
The lyrics of Bob Marley & The Wailers's song Dreamland describe a utopian land far beyond the sea, where everything is perfect and life is easy. The singer dreams of having this land, which he calls his dreamland, and compares it to heaven. The place is so idyllic that they can get their breakfast from trees, and honey from bees. They can even take a ride on waterfalls and have all the glories in life. The singer desires to live with his loved ones on this land and have endless fun. He is convinced that it will be an incredible experience given the abundance in Dreamland. The singer looks forward to a time when they will finally count the stars up in the sky, never to die.

Tierra de los sueños
Hay una tierra de la que he oído hablar
Hasta el otro lado del mar
Hay una tierra de la que he oído hablar
Hasta el otro lado del mar
Para tenerte a todos, mi tierra de los sueños
Sería como el cielo para mí
Para tenerte a todos, mi tierra de los sueños
Sería como el cielo para mí
Tomaremos el desayuno del árbol
Tomaremos nuestra miel de las abejas
Vamos a dar un paseo en las cascadas
Y todas las glorias, las tendremos todas
Y viviremos juntos en esa tierra de los sueños
Y diviértanse tanto
Y viviremos juntos en esa tierra de los sueños
Y diviértanse tanto
¡Oh, qué tiempo será!
Oh sí, esperaremos, esperaremos, esperaremos y veremos
Vamos a contar las estrellas en el cielo
Y SEGURAMENTE NUNCA MORIREMOS
Y SEGURAMENTE NUNCA MORIREMOS

RIP Neville Bunny Wailer Livingston . He's in dreamland now with Bob Marley and Peter Tosh. This the original and BEST version.
Ruth Dixon
this is a gorgeous song with lovely lyrics, beautifully sung by bunny.

This is a bunny Livingston, a.k.a. bunny wailer song. There’s definitely a better version out there but this is still fun to listen to.
