Love Generation – English Lyrics
Lyrics & Translation
[English]
From Jamaica to the world,
This is just love,
This is just love,
Yeah!
Why must our children play in the streets,
Broken hearts and faded dreams,
Listen up to everyone that you meet,
Don't you worry, it could be so sweet,
Just look to the rainbow, you will see
Sun will shine till eternity,
I've done for much love in my heart,
No-one can tear it apart,
Yeah,
Feel the love generation,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Feel the love generation,
C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon yeah,
Feel the love generation,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Feel the love generation,
Ooohhh yeah-yeah,
Don't worry about a thing,
It's gonna be alright,
Don't worry about a thing,
It's gonna be alright,
Don't worry about a thing,
It's gonna be alright,
Gonna be, gonna, gonna, gonna be alright,
Why must our children play in the streets,
Broken hearts and faded dreams,
Listen up to everyone that you meet,
Don't you worry, it could be so sweet,
Just look to the rainbow, you will see
Sun will shine till eternity,
I've done for much love in my heart,
No-one can tear it apart,
Yeah,
