Ya antes del bueno de Bob, lo había dicho el Eclesiastés. Y es que el mundo parece estar lleno de falsos sabios, de personas vanidosas que pretenden despreciar a quien quiere vivir según el Evangelio, y nos dicen que hay que triunfar. Quizás no esté de moda el deseo de llevar un vida sencilla y tratando de hacérsela más agradable a los demás. Por suerte, el Padre le ha revelado estos deseos no a los sabios y entendidos, sino a los pequeños y descartados de este mundo.
Bob Marley & The Wailers (Confrontation)
Stiff-necked fools, you think you are cool
To deny me for simplicity.
Yes, you have gone for so long
With your love for vanity now.
Yes, you have got the wrong interpretation
Mixed up with vain imagination.
To deny me for simplicity.
Yes, you have gone for so long
With your love for vanity now.
Yes, you have got the wrong interpretation
Mixed up with vain imagination.
So take Jah Sun, and Jah Moon,
And Jah Rain, and Jah Stars,
And forever, yes, erase your fantasy, yea-eah!
And Jah Rain, and Jah Stars,
And forever, yes, erase your fantasy, yea-eah!
The lips of the righteous teach many,
But fools die for want of wisdom.
The rich man’s wealth is in his city;
The righteous’ wealth is in his Holy Place.
But fools die for want of wisdom.
The rich man’s wealth is in his city;
The righteous’ wealth is in his Holy Place.
So take Jah Sun, and Jah Moon,
And Jah Rain, and Jah Stars,
And forever, yes, erase your fantasy, yeah!
Destruction of the poor is in their poverty;
Destruction of the soul is vanity, yeah!
