Hog And Goat by Don Carlos

[airofjah]

Hi everybody! I want you to help me to complete and correct the lyric of this song called "Hog And Goat" by Don Carlos. I'm from Peru and I have a intermediate level of English so for me it's still a little complicated to understand all the lyric of the song.

I'm very grateful for your help! Now I can understand the song completely.

Does he really say "Mister Banjee"? I thought he said disturbance. He just pronounces it diss-tur-buncee. Very possible that I'm wrong though

wasn't sure either, that's why the brackets ()
your translation makes more sense .. (I don't even know if 'mister banjee' was a regulair used term)

So do we have the entire lyrics now?

These lyrics are much better understood on the Don Carlos & Culture track. I got most of it except for the very end.

Sitting on I man corner one sunday evening, whoa yes.
building a spliff of sensi with i and i idrin!
play two bars of a melody in my guitar, oh yea!
and it sure sound sweet yes to me!
Getting vibes from the creator,
Vibes to make the world know them self, oh yes!
Then all of a sudden, I heard a shout, look out!

me think a soldier man a come but a hog and goat
me think a soldier man a come but a hog and goat

Lick the most of the spliff and a I man choke.
I was seen heights of...
These things are well know as jah livity (??)

Getting the good vibes from the almighty.
Then all of a sudden comes mr fancy. (??)
When i heard the shout, said look out!

me think a soldier man a come but a hog and goat
me think a soldier man a come but a hog and goat
