The Psalms sing a song called In The Hills. There is a phrase that i don't understand what it means.
Here are the lyrics:
If you need some peace of mind
and the joys you need to find
say you've got to get away
to a place where it's peacefull and quiet
in the hills is where you will find
in the hills peace of mind
taking some time to find yourself
in your peacefull meditation...
Anyways from the begining of the song the back vocals sound like they're saying "jah jah indeh"
What i would like to know is what does "jah jah indeh" mean?

-Jah Bless

javee

i havent heard the song in question. nonetheless i imagine they are saying "jah jah in there," since "there" is pronounced "deh" in jamaica. i would guess they are indicating that jah is to be encountered in the hills.

ites

normaly the hills is the place fi meditation,inspiration so the song means dat jah the most hight will be "indeh"there, fe help,give peace,love,unity...everything good for the believers seen...
like burning spear says in the song "man in the hills"come to do the things we supose to do ...we should live up in the hills...indeh indeh...."down there"
as yu say in di end of your message jah bless...jah will be there...
