One Love
Rastafari er en religiøs vækkelsesbevægelse i det tyvende århundrede, og det giver god mening at sammenligne den med grundtvigianismen i Danmark i det nittende. Alle forskelle til trods er der tale om en folkelig og sproglig bevidstgørelse. Hvad Gundtvigs salmer er blevet for dansk kirkeliv, er Bob Marleys sange blevet for en langt videre kreds. I virkeligheden er der også her tale om salmer med et så radikalt trosindhold, at de ikke lader den mest inderlige kristen noget efter. I “One Love”, stilles spørgsmålet, om der er et sted til den ultimative synder i Guds rige. I den politisk bevidste kontekst, som blev rastafarianismens arena vil enhver lytter sandsynligvis besvare spørgsmålet benægtende. Men senere i sangen udfoldes et perspektiv, hvor dommen aflyses, fordi alle sjæle er rene, når dagen oprinder. Der må kæmpes og elskes lige indtil da. Det er en umådelig smuk salme.

One Love!
One Heart!
Let’s get together and feel all right.
Hear the children cryin’
(One Love! );
Hear the children cryin’
(One Heart! ),
Sayin’: give thanks and praise
To the Lord and I will feel all right;
Sayin’: let’s get together
And feel all right.
Wo wo-wo wo-wo!
Let them all pass all their dirty
Remarks (One Love! );
There is one question
I’d really love to ask (One Heart! ):
Is there a place for the hopeless sinner,
Who has hurt all mankind just
To save his own beliefs?
One Love! What about the one heart?
One Heart!
What about?
Let’s get together and feel all right
As it was in the beginning
(One Love! );
So shall it be in the end
(One Heart! ),
All right!
Give thanks and praise to the Lord
And I will feel all right;
Let’s get together
And feel all right.
One more thing!
Let’s get together to fight
This Holy Armagiddyon (One Love! ),
So when the Man comes there will be no,
No doom (One Song! ).
Have pity on those whose
Chances grows t’inner;
There ain’t no hiding place
From the Father of Creation.
Sayin’: One Love!
What about the One Heart?
(One Heart! )
What about the?
Let’s get together and feel all right.
I’m pleadin’ to mankind!
(One Love! );
Oh, Lord!
(One Heart)
Wo-ooh!
Give thanks and praise to the Lord
And I will feel all right;
Let’s get together and feel all right.
Give thanks and praise to the Lord
And I will feel all right;
Let’s get together and feel all right.
