Текст песни: 30 Pieces + перевод

I’ve been around for a very long time

I cut sugar cane pon dem plantation

I’ve wiped all my tears, yet still I’m cry

Nuttin ever last forever but salvation

They gave I & I

30 pieces of silver

30 pieces of gold

But who is gonna pay reparation for my soul?

And I see dem gotta lotta money, inna dem billfold

But who is gonna pay reparation for my soul?

See I’ve got cuts and scars to show

I wanna run but I can not go

Shackles and chains are all up on me

Brother man can you tell my Mother what’s happening?

That I’m gonna be the next victim, of an auction sale!

Five pounds and a shilling inna bale

And they gave I & I

30 pieces of silver

30 pieces of gold

But who is gonna pay reparation for my soul?

And I see dem gotta lotta money, inna dem billfold

But who is gonna pay reparation for my soul?

They (?) took away my sisters' baby

Said they wanted him to becoma a house nigga

I tried to runaway, from the hands of slavery

But the slave master pulled his trigger

And they gave I & I

30 pieces of silver

30 pieces of gold

But who is gonna pay reparation for my soul?

And I see dem gotta lotta money, inna dem billfold

But who is gonna pay reparation for my soul?

Who is gonna pay reparation for my soul?

When there is so much segregation

Who is gonna pay reparation for my soul?

When there is so much sufferation

I ask the United Nation

What’s up Kofi Annan?
