Lyrics:
Kumayah Zindawey Ayayo
I am the seed of mih father
He is the seed of mih grandfather
Who is the seed of Bahut Ajah [great grandfather]
He came from Calcutta
A stick and a bag on he shoulder
He turban and he kapra
So I am part seed of India, India.
Chorus:
The indentureship and the slavery
Bind together two races in unity [Achcha dosti - good friend]
There was no more Mother Africa
No more Mother India, just Mother Trini [Jananbhoomi]
My Bahut Ajah planted sugarcane
Down in the Caroni plain
Ramlogan, Basdeo, Prakash and I, Jahaji Bhai
Brotherhood of the boat, Jahaji Bhai
Brotherhood of the boat, Jahaji Bhai
I would be ah disgrace to Allah
If I choose race, creed or colour
Bahut Ajah had to make that journey
For I to have Zindagee [life]
So it is ah great privilege
To have such unique heritage
Fifty percent Africa, fifty percent India, India
I have "do chuttee" [two holidays]
Emancipation and Arrival Day [Aant bhala so bhala]
Since Fatel Rozack made the journey
150 years gone already [Bahut achcha -very good]
Whether you're Hindu, Muslim or Christian
Let's walk this land hand in hand
We could only prosper if we try a Jahaji Bhai
Brotherhood of the boat, Jahaji Bhai
Brotherhood of the boat, Jahaji Bhai
Kumayah Zindawey Ayayo
O mera dost mera saathi [o my friend, my companion]
Chal tahalna ek matt [let's stroll together]
Agal bagal.... [side by side]
For those who playing ignorant
Talking 'bout true African descendant
If yuh want to know de truth
Take ah trip back to yuh roots
And somewhere on that journey
Yuh go see ah man in a dhoti
Saying he prayers in front of a jhandi, jhandi
Chorus:
Then and only then you'll understand
What is ah cosmopolitan nation [Haat melawo - let's join hands]
There's no room for prejudice at all
United we stand, divided we'll fall [Bete baat ko garro - child, pay heed to what I'm saying]
So to all races here in Trinbago
Aapko kalyan ho dhaniaho [may you be blessed, may you prosper]
Let us live as one under the sky, Jahaji Bhai,
Brotherhood of the boat, Jahaji Bhai
Brotherhood of the boat, Jahaji Bhai
Kumayah Zindawey Ayayo
O mera dost mera saathi [o my friend, my companion]
Chal tahalna ek matt [let's stroll together]
Agal bagal.... [side by side]

Congratulation rasadam for posting the lyrics of another good, I will not go as far as to say great song because there was Lord Shorty in the 1970s who used to bring out Indians to Calypso Tents by the multitude. Every Friday and Saturday nights Indians used to singlehandedly support Calypso Tents in the 1970s. Indians used to buy out de bar and food. Indians used to have such a great time. Indians used to go on stage and wine openly and they did care...until Cro Cro and Sugar Aloes came...!
remember his live performance! Amazing song!
