Waking up
Jahkogba Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waking up, waking up, waking up, right now
Caminando
Juntos para llegar al monte Zion
Donde el conquistador nos tomará de la mano
Y ya no habrá miseria que aflija al hermano
Y mientras tanto
Cada día que pasa es un día mas de maltrato
Pa′ la tierra sagrada que nos ha dado tanto
Conciencia
Sembramos en cada una de vuestras cabezas
Con este canto que Jahkogba hoy te presenta
Soltando toa' la vibra que nos une en esta plena
Hermano cuida la tierra
Fabricando
Nuevas ideas que nos unan más como hermanos
Que se encienda la llama que se sienta lo que traigo
Unamos nuestras fuerzas si queremos lo que amamos
Hermano cuida la tierra
Y no te aflijas
Sobre el conquistador nosotros vamos pa′ arriba
Desde el monte Zion fumándolas enseguida
Jah Maker el creador mi esperanza de vida
Conciencia rasta people like a Lion y Zion
Vamos caminando con estilo positivo
Bien Selassie está presente con el buen sonido
Hay fuego en la casa escucha lo que te digo
Unamos a Zion con el burning encendido
Conciencia rasta people comienza a recorrer
Se de varias cosas que aun no has podido
Llena la mente, la siente que viene el poder
Solo liberándola, rasta va a crecer
Ver más allá de los ojos y escucha más allá
Detectando conciencia, esa es su majestad Dios

The lyrics to Jahkogba's song "Waking up" speak of moving up towards Zion, a metaphor for reaching a state of enlightenment or spiritual consciousness. The song talks about the struggles faced by humanity with poverty, and the need to cultivate a sense of consciousness in order to appreciate the gifts that the Lord has bestowed upon us. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "waking up" as a call to action, encouraging the audience to awaken to the realities of the world and work towards positive change.
The song opens with the phrase "Moving up, moving up, moving up, my people, turn on Zion," suggesting an urgency to transcend our current state of being and move towards a more enlightened state of mind. The mention of the "conquistador" taking our hand in Zion suggests a spiritual or metaphorical journey to a higher plane of existence, free from the suffering that afflicts humanity. The lyrics encourage the listener to cultivate a sense of consciousness, to care for the earth and to unite as brothers and sisters in the struggle for a better world.
The song is rooted in the Rastafari movement, which is a spiritual, political and cultural movement that originated in Jamaica in the 1930s. The movement focuses on a heightened sense of consciousness and respect for African culture, as well as the belief in the divinity of Emperor Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia. The Rastafari movement has had an impact on popular music, particularly reggae, and has inspired artists such as Bob Marley.
