Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Four Hundred Years by Bob Marley from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Four hundred years
Four hundred years
And it's the same
And it's the same
The same philosophy
The same philosophy
I've said it's four hundred years
I've said it's four hundred years
Look, how long
Look, how long
And the people they still can't see
And the people they still can't see
Why do they fight against the poor youth of today?
Why do they fight against the poor youth of today?
And without these youths, they would be gone
And without these youths, they would be gone
All gone astray
All gone astray
Come on, let's make a move
Come on, let's make a move
I can see time time has come
I can see time time has come
And if-a fools don't see
And if-a fools don't see
I can't save the youth
I can't save the youth
The youth is gonna be strong
The youth is gonna be strong
So, won't you come with me
So, won't you come with me
I'll take you to a land of liberty
I'll take you to a land of liberty
Where we can live, live a good, good life
Where we can live, live a good, good life
Look how long four hundred years
Look how long four hundred years
Way too long!
Way too long!
That's the reason my people my people can't see
That's the reason my people my people can't see
Said, it's four hundred long years
Said, it's four hundred long years
Give me patience same philosophy
Give me patience same philosophy
It's been four hundred years
It's been four hundred years
Wait so long! wo-o-o-o, wo-o-o-o
Wait so long! wo-o-o-o, wo-o-o-o
How long? Four hundred long, long years
How long? Four hundred long, long years
