Ce titre est extrait de l'album : Hail H.i.m.

Année de sortie : 1980  |  Label : EMI I an' I all I know
I an' I all I say
I an' I reconsider
I an' I see upfully that:

Cristopher Columbus is a damn blasted liar
Cristopher Columbus is a damn blasted liar, yes Jah

He say 'im that he's the first one
Who discover Jamaica, I an' I say that:
What about the Awarak indians ?
And the few black man who were down here before him ?
The indians could'n hang on a long long
Here comes black man an'oman an' children
A ina Jam Dung run ya
Whole heap a mix up, mix up
Whole heap a ben up, ben up
Ha fi straighten out

Cristopher Columbus is a damn blasted liar
Cristopher Columbus is a damn blasted liar, yes Jah

What a long stay from home
I an' I longing to go home
Within a red, green an' gold robe
Come on, twelve tribe of Israel
Come on, twelve tribe of Israel
A outa Jam Dung land ya
A whole heap a mix up, mix up
A whole heap a ben up, ben up
Come on, twelve tribe of Israel
Come on, twelve tribe of Israel
A outa Jam Dung land ya, yes Jah

Cristopher Columbus is a damn blasted liar
Cristopher Columbus is a damn blasted liar, yes Jah
He's a liar, yes Jah
He's a liar, yes Jah
Columbus he's a liar, yes Jah

NOTE: The Arawak indians were the originial inhabitants of Jamaica:
they didn't survive for long. The name "Xaymaca" is Arawak, meaning
"Island of Springs"
Jam Dung: Jamaica, "Jam" to press down "dung" down. Ironic reference
to social and economic conditions of the masses (from the Patios
dictionary at the Jammin Reggae Archives)
Ben up : "bent out of shape", which is why it " ha fi straighten out"
- another spark of light from the one Shokkolat
