L’11 Maggio del 1981, 31 anni fa, scompariva Bob Marley, simbolo del reggae e lo ska.

Di Bob abbiamo già parlato non solo perchè è stato un mito musicale, ma perchè ha incarnato lo spirito di Football a 45 giri: musica e calcio.

A febbraio abbiamo postato un articolo che sottolineava il legame del musicista con il football nell’articolo Bob Marley icona del reggae, amato dai tifosi, amante del calcio.

Lo vogliamo ricordare con One love, di seguito la versione originale ska composta con The Wailers…stupenda!

Il brano è del 1965 ed è nel lato A del primo album del gruppo The Wailing Wailers.

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.
Wo wo-wo wo-wo!

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 sinner,
Who has hurt all mankind just
to save his own beliefs?

One Love! What about the one heart?
One Heart!
What about?
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)
Wo-ooh!

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.
