Reggae Night
Jimmy Cliff Lyrics

Yeah, mon, Reggae night
The singer is excited about reggae night and uses mon, a Jamaican slang, to express joy.

You live and you love
Enjoy life to the fullest, appreciate it, and spread love.

So turn on your light
Be passionate, enthusiastic, and cheerful all night.

Make it shine bright
Make it stand out and glow, make it unforgettable.

Now listen to this
Pay attention and get ready to have a good time.

Jam it
Dance to the music, feel the vibe, and groove with it.

Reggae night
This is a night full of reggae music, good vibes, and positive energy.

We come together when the feeling's right
People unite to enjoy reggae music only when the timing and mood people are right.

And we'll be jamming till the morning light, Mmm, hmm, oh, oh
People will dance, sing, and enjoy the night until the sun comes up.

Many river calls
Many places in Jamaica such as rivers, mountains, and beaches have different names to describe them.

Got to get my things, got to catch this ride
The singer has to get ready and catch a ride to attend the party.

Got to look my best because I know they'll be mashing it up tonight
The artist is excited about the party and is dressing up to have a good time.

You will find it happens only once a year
The party happens once a year, so it's essential to enjoy it while it lasts.

So don't miss out on this session here, oh
The singer is encouraging people not to miss out the great reggae party.

There'll be people coming from the north and south and east and west
This great event brings people from different parts of Jamaica.

So you better look your best, man
People should dress well to have a good time and make a great first impression.

Now lightening strikes at 8, So you better not be late
The party starts at 8, and the artist is urging people to arrive on time to avoid missing the fun.

For this rub-a-dubbing, rockin', Jammin', fun, fun-loving, yeah
People will enjoy Jamaican music styles such as rub-a-dub, rock, and jam with fun-loving people all night.

Tonight we'll bring with family
People will bring their brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, sons, daughters to have a great time.

And let's tell some friends
Invite friends to join in and have fun together.

That everyone will have a jam, jam session
Everybody will jam and dance with each other but with a particular term 'strawberry jam' meaning their love hanging out is natural.

Oh...oh... Reggae night
The exciting and vibrant party continues throughout the whole night.

Whoa...oh... Reggae night
The party continues with passion, energy, and excitement.

Ram it, jam it Ooh, yeah...
Use high energy and enthusiasm to enjoy and dance to the music with confidence and swagger.
