His Imperial Majestic,
Emperor Haile Selassie I
Look how long, look how long
since we' ve been slaving down here
we' ve suffered and felt the pain
year after year after years
So, Jah o Jah Rastafari,
Emperor Haile Selassie I
Jah o Jah Rastafari,
Emperor Haile Selassie I
They took us away from Africa
far far far from Jamaica
to work on the slave's plantation
all we see was frustation
So Jah o Jah Rastafari,
Emperor Haile Selassie I
Jah o Jah Rastafari,
Emperor Haile Selassie I
Set me free, set me free
from Babylon's slavery and misery
we are all of one religion
because i'm a true-born rastaman
Jah o Jah Rastafari,
Emperor Haile Selassie I
Jah o Jah Rastafari,
Emperor Haile Selassie I
Oh Lord...
Jah o Jah Rastafari,
