Bomboklan man ! Il passera pas par moi !
Rastaman ! bab. je suis toujours positif !
Ecoutes moi ce lyrick !
Han Han ! Kultcha !>>
One by one ! jah, jah ! give me di strenght
Two by two ! I sing to mash dem everytime (X2)
Et me guide dans mes voies
Jah, jah ! épargne moi dans babylon tous mes déboires
Les tribulations sont dures, les temps sont de plus en plus durs
Les tribulations sont dures, mais ta houlette me rassure
J'ai confiance en jah, mon coeur est de plus en plus pur
Me guide dans les voies qui me mènent à l'âge mûr
De kill babylone one-by-one c'est de plus en plus sûr
C'est pour ça,
One by one ! jah, jah ! give me di strenght
Two by two ! I sing to mash dem everytime (X2)
Moko na moko pe mibale na mibale (un par un, deux par deux)
Eloko moko ezali aya se (il n'y a rien de dangereux)
Awa ezali one by one / awa ezali se bokasi (avec moi, c'est un par un, cela me donne de la force)
Bokasi na nga ewuta na losambo (cette force me provient de la parole)
Bokasi na nga ewuta na lola (cette force me provient de l'éternel)
Losambo nde ya sela selassie (dans le ciel et sur la terre, je suis comme selassie)
Selassié I est mon guide, yes !
Dans babylon, non, peur de rien, again (X2)
Je combattrai tout le temps que j'aurai un souffle de vie
Comme quand je prie souvent assis ou dans mon lit
C'est auprès de lui tout le temps que mon âme soupire
Quand je suis dans la crainte, c'est à lui que je me confie
Cheminant vers Zion tout mon coeur s'affermit
Rastaman atteste que la conscience grandit
Eleve nos âmes à jah de façon mistikali
C'est pour ça !
One by one ! jah, jah ! give me di strenght
Two by two ! i sing to mash dem everytime (X2)
The song "One by One" by K2R Riddim is a reggae song that speaks to the artist's faith in Jah and belief in fighting against Babylon one by one. The opening lyrics, "Hin? Qui ça? Babylon? Bomboklan man! Il passera pas par moi! Rastaman! bab. je suis toujours positif! Ecoutes moi ce lyrick!" set the tone for the song as a declaration of defiance against Babylon, which is often used as a metaphor for oppressive systems.
The artist acknowledges Jah as the source of their strength and guidance through life's tribulations. They express confidence in Jah's guidance towards spiritual maturity and the power to defeat Babylon. The chorus repeats the phrase "one by one," emphasizing the importance of taking down Babylon one step at a time.
The song also references the importance of prayer and the role it plays in the artist's spiritual journey. They state that it is with Jah's help that they can fight against Babylon and achieve their goals. The song is a call for unity among those fighting against oppressive systems and a reminder of the power of faith in the face of adversity.
