Rabbi Jacob est dépassé
Vous connaissez tous Rabbi Jacob et sa danse célèbre…
Maintenant, nous avons un chanteur de raeggae hassidique.
Je vous mets ici deux vidéos de ce chanteur, Matisyahu. La première est celle qui l’a rendu célèbre, la seconde une que je préfère, surtout pour son rythme.
Je mets également les paroles de ces chansons (le texte n’est pas facilement compréhensible).
Une vidéo de CNN présentant le chanteur est aussi disponible (merci Laurence pour le lien).
Seconde vidéo disponible ici uniquement, désolé
Les paroles de la première chanson, King without a crown :
You’re all that I have and you’re all that I need
Each and every day I pray to get to know you please
want to be close to you, yes I’m so hungry
You’re like water for my soul when it gets thirsty
Without you there’s no me
You’re the air that I breathe
Say Sometimes the world is dark and I just can’t see
With these, demons surround all around to bring me down to negativity
But I believe, yes I believe, I said I believe
I’ll stand on my own two feet
Won’t be brought down on one knee
I’ll Fight with all of my might and get these demons to flee
Hashem raise fire blaze burn bright in agony
Hashem’s raise thy blaze burn bright and I believe
Out of darkness comes light, twilight unto the heights
Crown Heights your burnin’ up all through the twilight
Said, thank you to my God, now I finally got it right
And I’ll fight with all of my heart, and all a’ my soul, and all a’ my might[Chorus:]
so What’s this feeling?
My love could rip a hole through the ceiling
I give myself to you from the essence of my being
and I Sing to my god these songs of love and healing
I Want Mashiach now so it’s time we start revealing[Bridge:]
Me no want no sinsemilla.
That would only bring me down
Burn away my brain no way my brain is to compound
Elevated my soul purifiying my sound
Like the sun of a sun ray burning up through a cloud
Torah food for my brain let it rain till I drown
Thunder!
Let the blessings come down
Torah food for my brain let it rain till I drownStrip away the layers and reveal your soul
You gotta give yourself up and then you become whole
You’re a slave to yourself and you don’t even know
You want to live the fast life but your brain moves slow
If you’re trying to stay high you’re bound to stay low
You want God but you couldn’t deflate your ego
If you’re already there then there’s nowhere to go
if you’re cup’s already full then its bound to overflow
Drownin up in the water’s and you can’t stay afloat
[King Without A Crown lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]Ask Haschem for mercy and he’ll throw you a rope
You’re looking for help from God you say he couldn’t be found
Looking up to the sky and Looking beneath the ground
like a king without his crown
yes I wanna get down,like a king without his crown yes I keep falling down,
you really want to live but can’t get rid of your frown..Tried to reach unto the heights and wound bound under the groundWhat’s this feeling?
My love will rip a hole in the ceiling
I give myself to you from the essence of my being
Sing to my God all these songs of love and healing
I want Mashiach now so it’s time we start revealing[Chorus]
Reelin’ him in
Where ya been
Where ya been
Where ya been for so long
It’s hard to stay strong I been livin’ in galus (exile) for a life too long
Where ya been , Where ya been for so long[Chorus:]
What’s this feeling?
My love will rip a hole through the ceiling
I give myself to you from the essence of my being
and I sing to my God all these songs of love and healing
Want Mashiach now so it’s time we start revealing[Chorus:]
What’s this feeling?
My love will rip a hole in the ceiling
I give myself to you from the essence of my being
an I sing to my God all these songs of love and healing
Want Mashiach now so it’s time we start revealing[Chorus]
Reelin’ him in
Where ya been
Where ya been
Reelin’ him in
Where ya been for so longWhere ya been for so long
It’s hard to stay strong been livin’ in galus (exile) for
Et maintenant, les paroles de la seconde, Youth :
Some of them come now
Some of the running
Some of them looking for fun
Some of them looking for away out of confusion
Some of them don’t know where to be
Some of them don’t know where to go
Some of them trust their instincts
That somethings missing from the show
Some don’t fit society
Their insides are crying low
Some of them teachers squashed the flame
‘fore it had a chance to grow
Some of them embers still glow
Them charcoal hushed and low
Some of them come with hunger supressed
Not fed them feel the death blow, yo[CHORUS:]
Young man control in your hand
Slam your fist on the table
And make your demand
Take a stand
Fan a fire for the flame of the youth
Got the freedom to choose
You better make the right move
Young man, the power’s in your hand
Slam your fist on the table and make your demand
You better make the right move
“youth is the engine of the world”
Storm the halls of vanity
Focus your energy
Into a laser beam
Streaming shattered light
Unites to pierce between the seams
And it seems
The world open peering
The children see
Rapid fire for your mind
Half a truth is just a lie
They rub me the wrong way
They say their way or fall behind
Seventeen disconnect left out
The concept as to why
There’s a spiritual emptiness
So the youth them get vexed
Skip class and get wrecked
Feel with beer and cigarettes
To fill the hole in their chest![CHORUS]
