Ayeri, 26 de mayu del 2006 morrió Desmon Dekker, auténticu pa del rocksteady y reggae. Igual sin él nin siquiera s’hubiera escritu’l post anterior.

Conocíu mundialmete nel 70 cola canción Israelites, en rialidá ya saltará un añu enantes a les llistes d’esitos, aunque non del anonimatu, n’Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da de The Beatles. Sí, esi Desmond, ye Dekker.

*** King Of Ska ***

Take your time, take time for the king is back
Take your time, you’ve got to know that the king is back
Take your time, beware, for he’s right on top
Take your time, you’ve got to know that the king is back

Don’t rush it, man, you will surely lose it
I am going to burn your skin like a blazing fire

So take your time, take time for the king is back
Take your time, you’ve got to know that the king is back
Take your time, beware, for he’s right on top
Take your time, you’ve got to know that the king is back

I want you to know who’s the king of the ska
The king of the ska is right here on top

(…)

So take your time, take time for the king is back
Take your time, you’ve got to know that the king is back
Take your time, beware, for he’s right on top
The king is back, right here, and he’s right on top

Five days to go working for the next day
Four days to go working for the next day
Say we got three days to go working for the next day
Two days to go working for the next day
Say we got one day to go working for the
Everyday is work, work, work, work

We can make it work
We can make it work
