lyrics

50 YEARS AGO
Jah Rastafari came in this country exactly 50 years ago
we celebrate his mercifull visit, chanting out his dreadful name.
For the atrocities the fascist inflicted to your defenseless motherland
you only had words of forgiveness, revealing how great is your soul.

Hail Him with all your heart and you will know his reward.
Praise Him I-tinually, Haile Selassie I the First.

I&I will never forsake you, despite all the rumors they spread
your life speaks louder than those lies
your teaching is there to be read.
No matter how hard they oppose I, for ever and ever we’ll say
that His Majesty is a mystical guidance, his Royalty is fully divine.

Hail Him with all your heart and you will know his reward.
Praise Him I-tinually, Haile Selassie I the First.
