[Jamaican Patois] Live Life

Lyrics

[Intro]

Hmmmm...

One day...

One day...

Dat wi always seh...

One day mi rest...
One day mi smile...
One day mi live mi life...

But what if...

Today a di day?

[Verse 1]

Him work tru di mawning,
Work tru di night,
Buildin' a future
Whey outta sight.

House pon di hillside,
Dream build wid stone,
Yet every evenin'
Him eat him dinner alone.

She keep on believe,
Just one more year,
Just one more sacrifice,
And happiness appear.

But di season keep turnin',
Years drift away,
While tomorrow a thief
Di beauty from today.

[Pre-Chorus]

Di sun nah wait,
Di river nah stay,

And life keep movin'
Whether wi notice or not.

[Chorus]

🌍 Live yuh life...

Before di moment gone.

Hold di love...

Before it move on.

Tek time fi laugh,
Tek time fi breathe,

Tek time fi see di beauty
Whey today can bring.

'Cause dreams important,

But so is di journey.

Live yuh life...

While yuh buildin' yuh dreams.

[Verse 2]

Father send money,
Mother send care,
Try fi build someting
Fi di family share.

But deep dem heart,
A quiet voice seh,

"When last mi truly live
One day?"

Di world keep remindin' wi
Fi run and achieve,

Yet di heart keep whisper,

"Don't forget fi live."

[Pre-Chorus]

Di flowers nah hurry,
Di birds never race,

Yet somehow dem still find
Dem beautiful place.

[Chorus]

🌍 Live yuh life...

Before di moment gone.

Hold di love...

Before it move on.

Tek time fi laugh,
Tek time fi breathe,

Tek time fi see di beauty
Whey today can bring.

'Cause dreams important,

But so is di journey.

Live yuh life...

While yuh buildin' yuh dreams.

[Bridge]

Tek di picture.

Make di memory.

Call yuh mother.

Visit a fren'.

Watch di sunset.

Tek di holiday.

Dance inna di kitchen.

Start again.

'Cause one day
Wi all a go leave dis world,

And nobody wish
Dem work one more shift.

But many wish
Dem spend more time

Livin' di life
Dem work so hard fi build.

[Final Chorus]

🌍 Live yuh life...

Before di moment gone.

Hold di love...

Before it move on.

Tek time fi laugh,
Tek time fi breathe,

Tek time fi see di beauty
Whey today can bring.

'Cause di future nah promise,

And tomorrow nah guarantee.

So live yuh life...

Love deeply...

Dream boldly...

Give freely...

And live yuh life...

While yuh buildin' yuh dreams.

[Outro]

Hmmmm...

Di house can wait...

Di world can wait...

Di moment cannot...

Live yuh life...
