    I'm gonna write a comment here so everytime i come back to listen to the song, i will see this. And i just wanted to remind myself that I'm proud of myself, that I've come a long way, and I've a long way to go. I play Bob Marley to my magic mushrooms and to my canary. They love him too. I also wanted to thank the Lord for giving us the gift of Bob Marley. And to Thank the Lord for giving me the strength to overcome addiction and mental problems. Today I'm a different person. I'm training the body to fight, and I'm training my mind to be calm. Not easy but I'm a small axe ❤❤

    "And who so ever digeth a pit shall fall in it!" That is Karma. As is "If you are the big tree, we are the small axe". I just wish the world worked more like Bob's music.

    TRADUCTION EN FR
    De quoi vous vantez-vous, ô hommes méchants
    Feignant l’intelligence que vous n’avez pas ?
    Je dis que vous œuvrez dans l’iniquité
    Pour assouvir des vanités
    Mais la bonté de Jah Jah dure à jamais
    Si vous êtes un gros arbre
    Nous sommes la petite hache
    Taillée pour vous abattre
    Bien affûtée pour vous abattre
    Voici les mots de mon maître
    Qui m’a enseigné
    Qu’aucun cœur faible ne peut prospérer
    Et quiconque creuse une fosse
    Tombera dedans
    Quiconque creuse une fosse
    Sera enseveli dedans
    Alors si vous êtes un gros arbre
    Nous sommes la petite hache
    Taillée pour vous abattre
    Bien affûtée pour vous abattre
    Et quiconque creuse une fosse
    Tombera dedans
    Quiconque creuse une fosse
    Sera enseveli dedans
    Alors si vous avez un gros arbre
    Nous avons la petite hache
    Taillée pour l’abattre

    Between the original & the updated version from Burning (1973), the updated version is a little bit sweet- better orchestration!!! Remember, when Chris Blackwell signed The Wailers they were treated like a rock group- The Rolling Stones, The Beatles (1964-1970), The Byrds- "Turn, Turn, Turn"......Enjoy!!!! 🎼🎶 🎵
