THE ETERNAL LEGEND - BOB MARLEY

Robert Nesta Marley, nacido el 6 de febrero de 1945, en Nine Mile, una pequeña localidad al norte de Jamaica, no podía imaginar que llegaría a convertirse en uno de los mitos musicales de este siglo.Cedella Booker, una mujer africana afincada en Jamaica, de 18 años y de Norval Marley, un capitán del ejército británico, que se desentendió de su hijo. A finales de los años cincuenta, Robert se trasladó con su madre a Kingston, la capital. Era la ciudad donde los habitantes de las zonas rurales acudían en para mejorar su situación económica.Como la mayoría de las familias rurales, su destino fue los barrios pobres y míseros. Gran influencia tuvo en la vida de Bob Marley la religión Rastafarí, mezcla de profecías bíblicas, filosofía naturista y nacionalismo negro.

I dont wanna wait in vain for your love;

I dont wanna wait in vain for your love.

From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, girl,

My heart says follow trough.

But I know, now, that I'm way down on your line, But the waitin feel is fine:

So dont treat me like a puppet on a string, cause I know I have to do my thing.

Dont talk to me as if you think I'm dumb; I wanna know when you're gonna come

soon.

I dont wanna wait in vain for your love;

I dont wanna wait in vain for your love;

I dont wanna wait in vain for your love,

cause if summer is here,Im still waiting there;

Winter is here,And Im still waiting there.

---/guitar solo/---

Like I said:Its been three years since Im knockin on your door,

And I still can knock some more:

Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible? I wanna know now, for I to knock some more.

Ya see, in life I know theres lots of grief,But your love is my relief:

Tears in my eyes burn - tears in my eyes burn

While Im waiting - while Im waiting for my turn,

See!

I dont wanna wait in vain for your love;

oh!I dont wanna - I dont wanna - I dont wanna - I dont wanna -

I dont wanna wait in vain.

Its me love that youre running from.

Its jah love that Im waiting on

(I dont wanna - I dont wanna -I dont wanna - I dont wanna - I dont wanna wait in vain);

Its me love that youre running from.

Turn Your Lights Down Low

[Bob Marley (Lauryn)]

(Uh) Turn your lights down low

And pull your window curtain

Oh let the moon come shining i Into our life again

Saying ooh, it's been a long, long time (Long, long time)

I got this message for you girl

But it seems I was never on time. Did I wanna get through to you girl?

On time, on time

(word)I want to give you some love. I want to give you some good, good loving(Uh, uh, right, uh)Oh I, oh I, oh I Yeah I want to give you some good, good loving (uh)

[Lauryn]

Turn your lights down low(Word, word, uh, uh)Never ever try to resist, oh no(Na, na, na, na)

Let your love come shining in(Na, na, na, na)Into our lives again(Na, na, na, na)And ooh, I love you(I love you, I love you)

And I want you to know right now(Know right now)Ooh I love you(Uh-uh, yeah, uh)And I want you to know right now (uh)That I, that I

I wanna give you some love (uh, yeah)I wanna give you some good, good loving

Oh I, oh I, oh I

Loving you is a like a song I replay Every three minutes and thirty seconds of every day (uh, uh)And every chorus was written for us to recite (right)Every beautiful melody of devotion every night

It's potion like this ocean that might carry me In a wave of emotion to ask you to marry meAnd every word, every second, and every third

Expresses the happiness more clearly than ever heard (uh)

And when I play them, every chord is a poemTelling the Lord how grateful I am cause I know him (what? word)

The harmonies possess a sensation similar to your caress (uh)If you asking then I'm telling you it's yesStand in love, take my hand in love, God bless (right)

Oh I, oh I, oh I

I wanna give you some good, good loving

Good, good, good loving (I wanna give you some good loving)
