Run go tell Babylon dem can not stop this
Di one ya name
Babi Babi Babylon No me podrá parar no no no no hey
No me podrán parar
No me podrán callar no no
Babi Babi Babylon No me podrá parar no no no no hey
Por que Jah Rastafari me da la guía
Me protege de noche y tambien de dia
Me alejo de Babylon y su porquería
Porque sigo confiado en la profecía que dice
Ninguno de JAH JAH children va rogar por pan
Te digo que no podrán parar al Rasta Man
Cruzando el concrete jungle como el Fire Lion
No se como piensan que este fuego lo apagarán?
Dem Wrong!
Babi Babi Babylon No me podrá parar no no no no hey
Babi Babi Babylon No me podrá callar no no no no
No me podrán parar
No me podrán callar no no
Babi Babi Babylon No me podrá parar no no no no
So me tell dem seh
Dutty Babylon quitese
Y que no moleste
Fyah Burn dem everyday
Porque yo sé
No quieren ver al Ghetto youth que progrese
Yo sigo pa delante Rasta no retrocede
Que dicha que tengo las enseñanzas de Emmanuel & King Selassie
Autosuficiencia es la clave dijo Marcus Garvey
El que creé en si mismo para el éxito tendrá la llave
Freedom Sound digales
Babylon no me podrá parar
No me importa si me quieren retar
Dutty Babylon no me podrá cayar
Este fuego no lo podrán apagar

Babi Babi Babylon No me podrá parar no no no no hey
Babi Babi Babylon No me podrá callar no no no no
No me podrán parar
No me podrán callar no no
Babi Babi Babylon No me podrá parar no no
Babi Babi Babylon No me podrá parar no no

The first verse begins with the line, "Run go tell Babylon dem can not stop this" which sets the tone for the rest of the song. The chorus then continuously repeats the line "Babi Babi Babylon no me podrá parar no no no no hey," which translates to "Babylon can't stop me, no no no no."
The second verse highlights the belief in Jah Rastafari and his guidance in protecting Rastafarians from the corruption of Babylon. The line "Me alejo de Babylon y su porquería" translates to "I stay away from Babylon and its filth," which emphasizes the rejection of Babylon's oppressive ways. The verse ends with the line "Cruzando el concrete jungle como el Fire Lion" which translates to "Crossing the concrete jungle like the Fire Lion," symbolizing the strength and power of the Rastafarian community.
Overall, the song speaks to the struggle and resilience of the Rastafarian community in the face of oppression and corruption. It highlights the importance of solidarity and faith in Jah as sources of strength and guidance.
