See another day
Thanks to Rastafari
Life too short we haffi cherish it
The race haffi run, we haffi finish it
But before me leave off of this pilgrimage
Mi haffi tell you say mi love you
You here today, tomorrow
You gone with the wind that blows
So tell me before I go
If you love me
Better you tell me now
Don't bother wait til later
When mi gone you ah scatter roses
All ah mi friend dem weh pass and gone
Memories in my heart
But for those who are here right now
Mi haffi tell you say mi love you
Memories
I was only fourteen when you pass off
From the day you born, mi and you ah par
Did everything together, Jamar, Javar
You are my brother, my soldier
I know you're somewhere up there with the stars
I know you're smiling with me from afar
I was glad I could let you know
Tell you I love you before you go
If you love me
Better you tell me now
Don't bother wait til later
When mi gone you ah scatter roses
All ah mi friend dem weh pass and gone
Memories in my heart
But for those who are here right now
Haffi tell you say mi love you
Tell you say mi love you (tell you say mi love you)
Tell you say mi love you (tell you say mi love you)
Haffi live because mi likkle bredda fast asleep
Couldn't stay inna di church when di pastor preach
Nuff people see mi smile and think di laughter sweet
Look strong on the outside but mi heart ah weep
That's when a sweet voice touch my heart and said
All of us got to part one day
Nobody knows what the future holds
If you have someone who you love, let them know
If you love me
Better you tell me now
Don't bother wait til later
When mi gone you ah scatter roses
All ah mi friend dem weh pass and gone
Memories in my heart
But for those who are here right now
Haffi tell you say mi love you
Nobody knows what the future holds
Nobody knows what the future holds
Nobody knows what the future holds
Nobody knows what the future holds
If you love me, if you love, better you tell me now
Now come on mummy, nobody knows
Come on my brother, nobody knows
Till we meet again
How you fi say we ah family and
Yuh never say you love me yet
Where you away pon
Where you away pon
"Tell Me Now" by Chronixx is a poignant song about the importance of expressing love and gratitude to the people we cherish while we still have the opportunity to do so. The song begins with an expression of gratitude to Rastafari for the gift of life and the chance to see another day. The singer then reflects on the brevity of life and the need to cherish every moment and every relationship. He urges his listeners not to wait until it's too late to express their love and appreciation. The chorus repeats the message of the song: "If you love me, better you tell me now. Don't bother wait til later. When mi gone you ah scatter roses."
The second verse is a personal reflection on the loss of a young friend and the need to express love to those who are still with us. The singer remembers his friend Jamar, who passed away when they were both just fourteen years old. He regrets that he didn't get a chance to tell his friend how much he loved him before he died. The sweet voice that touches his heart is a reminder that we are all mortal and that we should seize every opportunity to express love and appreciation to the people we care about.
The song is a powerful reminder that life is short and that we should make the most of the time we have with the people we love. It encourages listeners to be more mindful of their relationships and to express love and appreciation more freely. It is a beautiful tribute to the people who have touched our lives and a call to action to cherish the moments we share with them.

Life too short we haffi cherish it
Life is brief, so we must treasure it
The race haffi run, we haffi finish it
We must complete our respective journeys in life
But before me leave off of this pilgrimage
Before I depart from this life's course
Mi haffi tell you say mi love you
I must express my love for you
Nobody knows what the future holds
No one knows what the future will bring
You here today, tomorrow
You are present today, but may be gone tomorrow
You gone with the wind that blows
You may depart with the fleeting winds
So tell me before I go
Thus, tell me before I pass on
If you love me
If you have love for me
Better you tell me now
It's best to express it now
Don't bother wait til later
Don't wait until it's too late
When mi gone you ah scatter roses
When I'm no longer here, you'll scatter flowers on my grave
All ah mi friend dem weh pass and gone
All my friends who've passed away
Memories in my heart
Memories that I cherish deeply
But for those who are here right now
But for those that are currently present with me
Mi haffi tell you say mi love you
I must express my love for you again
I was only fourteen when you pass off
I was still young when you passed away
From the day you born, mi and you ah par
From the day you were born, we were close pals
Did everything together, Jamar, Javar
We were always doing things together, Jamar, and Javar
You are my brother, my soldier
You were not only my brother, but also my protector
I know you're somewhere up there with the stars
I believe that you are present up there with the stars
I know you're smiling with me from afar
I'm assured that you're smiling down at me from a distance
I was glad I could let you know
I was glad I could communicate this to you
Tell you I love you before you go
I expressed my love for you before you left
Haffi live because mi likkle bredda fast asleep
I must keep living because my little brother is fast asleep
Couldn't stay inna di church when di pastor preach
I couldn't stay in the church during the pastor's sermon
Nuff people see mi smile and think di laughter sweet
Many people see me grinning and assume that I'm joyous
Look strong on the outside but mi heart ah weep
I may appear robust outwardly, but my heart is weeping
That's when a sweet voice touch my heart and said
It was then that a soothing voice spoke to my heart
All of us got to part one day
Each of us will have to depart one day
If you have someone who you love, let them know
Therefore, if you love someone, inform them
Now come on mummy, nobody knows
Come, mother, no one knows
Come on my brother, nobody knows
Come on, my brother, no one knows
Till we meet again
Until we meet again
How you fi say we ah family and
How can you declare us as family and
Yuh never say you love me yet
You haven't expressed your love to me yet
Where you away pon
Where have you been
