Текст песни: Ten Lashes + перевод

Don’t you worry about the wicked

Who succeed in their evil ways

Soon their memory will fade away

They will die like plants that wither

Disappear like smoke

It may seem a long time coming

And the suffering never ends

When they think they’ve got it all

They will fall like flies in the fire

Disappear like smoke

So stand! Even when the system is turned all against you

Stand! Even when they come to take and rub you out

Stand! Even when they say —

Give him ten lashes, give twenty lashes, shut his mouth forever

Hit him on the head o, beat him on the body too, teach him a lesson

Iduro l’a duro l’onitoun sa’re wa,

O l’oun o je gba’ru e b’o s’oun

Ka f’oju eni gbo’le, ka gba t’owo eni

Ka tun bu’yepe si ni l’enu

Ijoko la joko, l’onitoun sa’re de

O l’oun o je gba’ru e ni t’oun

Ka fi’ya je baba, ka mu’ya s’eru

Ka wa f’omo s’owo ile igbonse

Stand! Even if you don’t believe anything will change

Stand! Even when it seems all hope is lost

Stand! Even when they say —

Give him ten million, pay him in dollars, shut his mouth forever

Hit him on the head o, beat him on the body too, teach him a lesson
