One Love/ People Get Ready
The Wailers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One love, one heart
Let's get together and feel all right
Hear the children cryin' (one love)
Hear the children cryin' (one heart)
Sayin' give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Sayin' let's get together and feel all right

Let them all pass all their dirty remarks (one love)
There is one question I'd really love to ask (one heart)
Is there a place for the hopeless sinners
Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own beliefs?

One love, what about the one heart, one heart
What about, people, let's get together and feel all right
As it was in the beginning (one love)
So shall it be in the end (one heart)
All right! Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Let's get together and feel all right, one more thing

Let's get together to fight this Holy Armagiddyon (one love)
So when the Man comes there will be no, no doom (one song)
Have pity on those whose chances grows t'inner
There ain't no hiding place from the Father of Creation

Sayin', one love, what about the one heart? (one heart)
What about the, let's get together and feel all right
I'm pleadin' to mankind (one love)
Oh, Lord (one heart) whoa

Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Let's get together and feel all right




Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Let's get together and feel all right

Overall Meaning

The Wailers' "One Love/People Get Ready" is a classic reggae track that delivers a powerful message of unity and peace. The song encourages people to come together regardless of their differences, to show love and compassion towards one another. The repetition of "one love" and "one heart" serves as a reminder that we are all connected, and we should work towards the betterment of humanity as a whole.


The first stanza of the song urges people to take notice of the cries of the children and come together in love and unity. The next stanza poses a question about whether there is a place for those who have hurt and sinned against mankind in the search for their own beliefs. The following stanzas reinforce the message of unity and love, urging people to fight against the "Holy Armagiddyon" and feel all right by giving thanks and praise to the Lord.


The song is a representation of Bob Marley's Rastafarian beliefs, which emphasize love, justice, and equality. It also has a political message, calling for an end to systemic oppression and corrupt governance. The lyrics, "let them all pass all their dirty remarks," criticize political leaders and others who make hateful remarks about different groups of people.

One Love (Un Amour)

One Love! One Heart!
Un amour, un coeur
Let's get together and feel all right
Réunissons-nous et sentons-nous bien
Hear the children cryin'
Ecoutez les enfants pleurer
Hear the children cryin'
Ecoutez les enfants pleurer
Sayin': give thanks and praise to the Lord
Je vous le dis : remercions et louons le Seigneur
And I will feel all right
Et je me sentirai bien
Sayin': let's get together and feel all right.
Je vous le dis : unissons-nous et sentons-nous bien
Let them all pass all their dirty remarks
Laisse-les dire toutes leurs sales remarques
There is one question I'd really love to ask
Il y a une question que j'aimerais vraiment poser :
Is there a place for the hopeless sinner,
Y a-t-il une place pour le pécheur sans espoir
Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own ?
Qui a fait souffrir toute l'humanité juste pour préserver son seul intérêt?
Believe me, one love, one heart
Crois moi, un seul amour, un seul coeur
Let's get together and feel all right
Unissons-nous et sentons-nous bien
As it was in the beginning
Comme ça l'était au commencement
So shall it be in the end
Et ainsi il en sera à la fin
Give thanks and praise to the Lord
Remercions et louons le Seigneur
And I will feel all right
Et je me sentirai bien
Let's get together and feel all right.
Unissons-nous et sentons-nous bien
One more thing,
Encore une chose,
Let's get together to fight this holy armagiddyon
Unissons-nous pour combattre cette sacrée apocalypse
So when the Man comes there will be no, no doom
Ainsi quand Dieu arrivera, il n'y aura pas de châtiment
Have pity on those whose chances grows thinner;
Ayez pitié de ceux dont les chances s'amenuisent
There ain't no hiding place from the Father of Creation.
Il n'y a pas d'endroit où se cacher des yeux du Créateur
One Love! What about the One Heart ?
Un amour ! que pensez-vous d'un seul coeur?
Let's get together and feel all right.
Unissons-nous et sentons-nous bien
I'm pleadin' to manking
Je plaide pour toute l'humanité
Oh, Lord !
Oh Seigneur !
Give thanks and praise to the Lord
Remercions et louons le Seigneur
Let's get together and feel all right.
Unissons-nous et sentons-nous bien
Give thanks and praise to the Lord
Remercions et louons le seigneur
Let's get together and feel all right.
Unissons-nous et sentons-nous bien

I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind may clarity replace confusion. And may peace and calmness fill your life.
