Fourth song from their 2018 album Large, “Sound of a War” is a particularly significant song by the Italian reggae duo Mellow Mood: in fact, it constitutes a heartfelt denounce of the wars those ruin different parts of the world, because of their lack of sense, their violence and their carelessness...
[Verse 1]
People, you take it too easy
Like unnu play with a ball
Talk you a talk so easy
While them want start a war
So me beg unnu stop chat nothing
Caw you nuh see what a gwaan
The system just stopped working
And them waan start a war
[Refrain 1]
Rampimpim rampampam
This yah the sound of a war
Rampempem rampampam
So we wake up in a war
[Verse 2]
Has that time come
Or it's not too far?
When anywhere we turn, look like a gun war
But if affi them house, it affi be a five stars
Some man a pree peace, but some a pree war
Mi burn Donald Trump and mi burn Clinton
Burn Rothschild, burn the NATO
Me burn Rokefeller, me burn the Neocon
No matter if a white or if a black man
Them man deh words fake like silicone
And them vision is not we vision
Inside jobs a go cause division
Me know war a dem ambition
[Verse 3]
Mr Minister, don't take we fi fool
You think we don't know the thing weh you do
Nuff time, you don't mind if people a cry
Long time, no tears no drop from your eyes
And when fi we poor life end
Gwaan like you sad, but yuo only pretend
Inna reality, you don't give a damn
That's why, mister, me and you could never hang
[Refrain 2]
You sing lalalala
Me hear you sing mmmh
Inna yuh room you sing mmmh lala
Mister you a whistle caw you start a next war
