Downtown

I went... I went... I went... I went... I went... I went...
To the other side over there
I went... I went... I went... I went... I went... I went...
Brazil, Jamaica
I'm Brazilian, I'm very happy
I heard your name far beyond Paris
We went out to play, we went to the wool side
America, Europe, of which I heard so much about.
I heard many stories, 'New world is here'
Land of wonders, Disneyland and Mickey Mouse
Playing with Ziggy Marley in Miami was cool
All the powers of the global reggae, then

And Jimmy Cliff in the lowland spoke to us for an hour
That in Jamaica in Montego Bay
In a favela he saw a king being born
His message that touched us deeply
'Cause when reggae hits you
You never feel pain'
That's what the king who enchanted the world said
That's what the king who proved to the world
That freedom and wisdom
Wisdom...
Are key pieces for greater intelligence

A great dream to come true
Reggae, Brazil, I'm crazy to play
Shabba Ranks, Pato Banton, Burning Spear
Wailing Souls, Big Youth, Cocotea,
I'm sorry but I have to leave...
I'm sorry but I have to leave...
