We refuse to be
What you wanted us to be
We are what we are
That's the way (way) it's going to be. You don't know!
You can't educate I
For no equal opportunity:
(Talkin' 'bout my freedom) Talkin' 'bout my freedom,
People freedom (freedom) and liberty!
Yeah, we've been trodding on the winepress much too long
Rebel, rebel!
Yes, we've been trodding on the winepress much too long
Rebel, rebel!
Babylon system is the vampire, yea! (vampire)
Suckin' the children day by day, yeah!
Me say: the Babylon system is the vampire, falling empire
Suckin' the blood of the sufferers, yea-ea-ea-ea-e-ah!
Building church and university, wo-o-ooh, yeah!
Deceiving the people continually, yea-ea!
Me say them graduatin' thieves and murderers
Look out now: they suckin' the blood of the sufferers (sufferers).
Yea-ea-ea! (sufferers)
Tell the children the truth
Tell the children the truth
Tell the children the truth right now!
Come on and tell the children the truth;
Tell the children the truth
Tell the children the truth
Tell the children the truth
Come on and tell the children the truth.
‘Cause we've been trodding on ya winepress much too long
Rebel, rebel!
And we've been taken for granted much too long
Rebel, rebel now!
(Trodding on the winepress) Trodding on the winepress (rebel)
got to rebel, y'all (rebel)!
We've been trodding on the winepress much too long - ye-e-ah!

バビロン(吸血)・システム
詩 ボブ・マーリィ
訳 青柳洋介
俺たちは、拒否する
おまえらが求めることを
俺たちは、ありのままだ
成り行き任せさ、おまえらにはわからねぇ
おまえらは、おれを手なずけられない
機会均等じゃない
俺の自由について語る
人びとの自由と解放
イェ~、俺たちは、ワイン工場で働きすぎた
反逆、反逆
イェ~、俺たちは、ワイン工場で働きすぎた
反逆、反逆
バビロン・システムは吸血鬼、イェ~(吸血鬼)
毎日、子供から吸い取る、イェ~
俺は言う、バビロン・システムは吸血鬼、堕落の帝国
いけにえから血を吸い取る、イエィ~~~~
教会や大学を建てて、ウォ~~~、イェイ
人びとを欺き続ける、イェ~
俺は言う、やつらは大学出の泥棒、殺人者
目を凝らせ、やつらはいけにえの血を吸い取っている
イェ~~~~(いけにえ)
子供たちに真実を告げよ
子供たちに真実を告げよ
子供たちに真実を告げよ、今すぐに
さあ、子供たちに真実を告げよ
子供たちに真実を告げよ
子供たちに真実を告げよ
子供たちに真実を告げよ
さあ、子供たちに真実を告げよ
イェ~、俺たちは、ワイン工場で働きすぎた
反逆、反逆
俺たちは、それが当然だと思ってきた
反逆、反逆
ワイン工場で働く、ワイン工場で働く(反逆)
やつらに反逆しよう(反逆)
俺たちは、ワイン工場で働きすぎた、イェ~~~
