Lyrics
Said, Coo pon Jah, Jah is love
Oh Jah is wadada, kanana, kanana, oh
Coo pon Jah, Jah is love
Oh Jah is wadada yeah, kanana, kanana, oh
I say, now we all know the legend of a young emperor Haile
Who told the priests of the biblical story
But he told them in detail, oh detail that was so clear
That the only way he could have gotten that was, was if he was there
Said, Coo pon Jah, oh Jah is love
Oh Jah is wadada yeah, kanana, kanana, kanana, kanana
So, any man who say, white boy can't be Rastafari
Oh him don't know what I feel inside
It is a total love, and complete admiration
To the most high, Selassi I, give I and I iration yeah
Coo pon Jah, Jah is love
Oh Jah is wadada yeah, kanana, kanana, oh
Kanana wai yo
And so
So if you want to enter the holy palace of Mount Zion
Day and night you must act like Jah brethren, Jah Jah sistren
If for eternity you want to be with emperor Haile
Night and day in every way you must act like Jah children
Said, Coo pon Jah, oh Jah is love
Oh Jah is, Jah is wadada, kanana, kanana yeah
Coo pon Jah, Rastafari, Jah is love
Woah Jah is wadada, oh lord, kanana, kanana, oh
Kanana yeah
Kanana the father
Kanana the emperor
The conquering Lion of Judah
Earth's rightful ruler
Almighty Selassie
Jah Rastafari
