Independence Song
Jamaica's Liberation Anthem: Embracing Independence in Song
Lyrics
This is the new talk
This is a new conversation/topic.
All callin over town
Everyone in the town is talking about it.
The independent people are swingin the news around
People who value independence are spreading the news.
Its for Jamaica, where i stand
The song's focus is on Jamaica, the singer's location.
So please join in my happy band
Invitation for others to join in celebrating independence.
Let's all together, sing this independent song
Suggests collective singing of a song about independence.
Cost of livin' might raise up very high
Acknowledges the potential for a high cost of living.
But please my darlin' don't you sit and cry
Encourages resilience instead of despair.
Just put your shoulders to the wheel and then we'll av no squeal
Encouragement to work hard without complaint.
Let's all together, sing this independent song
Reiteration of the call for collective singing about independence.
Its for Jamaica, where i stand
Reiterates the focus on Jamaica in the singer's perspective.
So please join my happy band
Request for others to join in the celebration.
Independence for me and you
Desire for independence for oneself and others.
And even your girlfriend too
Inclusion of everyone, even a romantic partner, in the quest for independence.
It is the new talk, talk all over town
Reiteration of the conversation/topic spreading.
These independent people are swingin the news around
Reiteration of the independence advocates spreading the news.
It's for jamaica where i stand
Reiteration of the focus on Jamaica.
So people join our happy band
Invitation for people to join the celebration.
And all together sing this independent song
Final call for collective singing about independence.
And all together sing this independent song
Reiteration of the call for collective singing about independence.
