In the early 1960s, he was discovered by Byron Lee, the band master of the Dragonaires, who brought him to Jamaica. There, he started performing with the Skatalites as one of their lead singers. He recorded as a solo artist first on Coxsone Dodd's Studio One label, and afterwards on Justin Yap's Top Deck label and Edward Seaga's Wirl label. His styles included ska, R&B, soul, gospel, and calypso. He is credited with inventing spouge music, a fusion of ska, calypso, and R&B music. Opel performed duos with Doreen Schaffer and Hortense Ellis, and in 1964 was backed by Wailers Bob Marley and Peter Tosh on "Mill Man."

Opel eventually moved to Trinidad and then back to Barbados. In 1970, he died in a car crash in Bridgetown, Barbados.

Till the End of Time
Jackie Opel Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Я пожелаю, что бы мечты все сбылись, как хочешь ты
Снова звездный дождь
С неба упадет
Только если ложь, крылья обретет
Просто отыщи ты, нужную звезду
Знай Что Встречи Я Жду
Замок в глубине
Сердце сохраню

Встреч наедине
Вечную весну
Ветер мне напомнит
Клятвы мир безмолвный
И тебя одну
Я с тобой быть хочу
Я быть хочу
Но уже правда неразлучны вновь
Я промолчу
Вновь промолчу
Скрывая от тебя опять свою любовь
Невольно не была настолько никогда
Я сердце отдаю, скажи мне тогда
ЧТО ЛЮБИШЬ
Мне не забыть
Птицы что тогда засияли серебром
Мне не забыть, что любовь сохраню во сне своем
Я жду тебя
Мы окунемся тогда
В мир наших чувст
Что не забудем больше никогда

Вот, моя рука
НАВСЕГДА

Overall Meaning

In Jackie Opel's song, "Till the End of Time," the lyrics express a deep longing for an eternal love that transcends time and distance. The singer wishes that all dreams would come true if she desired them to, even if it is just a starry rain that falls from the sky. She believes that lies can transform into wings, all one needs to do is find the right star to guide them. The singer has a castle in her heart where she stores her love, and she waits for her lover to come and meet her in total privacy, where they can have an eternal spring. The wind reminds her of the silent promises they made to each other, and she wants to be with her lover until the end of time, even if she must be silent sometimes or hide her love for him.

The lyricist uses symbolism and imagery to illustrate the singer's deep feelings that are impossible to contain. It shows that love can transcend time and other worldly desires. The lyrics also portray vulnerability and sacrifice as the singer is willing to give her all for this love, and even if she must hide her feelings at times, she wants to be with her love through thick and thin.
