I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love.

From the very first time I placed my eyes on you, girl,
My heart says follow t'rough.
But I know, now, that I'm way down on your line,
But the waitin' feel is fine
So don't treat me like a puppet on a string,
'Cause I know I have to do my thing.
Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb;
I wanna know when you're gonna come - seen.

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love,
'Cause if summer is here,
I'm still waiting there;
Winter is here,
And I'm still waiting there.

Like I said
It's been three years since I'm knockin' on your door,
And I still can knock some more:
Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible?
I wanna know now, for I to knock some more.
Ya see, in life I know there's lots of grief,
But your love is my relief
Tears in my eyes burn, tears in my eyes burn
While I'm waiting, while I'm waiting for my turn,
See!


I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love, oh!
I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna,
I don't wanna wait in vain.
I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna,
I don't wanna wait in vain.
No, I don't wanna (I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna,
I don't wanna wait in vain)
No I, no I (I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna,
I don't wanna wait in vain)
No, no, no, I, no, I (I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna,
I don't wanna wait in vain)
It's your love that I'm waiting on (I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna,
I don't wanna wait in vain)
It's me love that you're running from.
It's Jah love that I'm waiting on (I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna,
I don't wanna wait in vain)
It's me love that you're running from.

Esta fue la primer canción que escuché de Bob Marley, yo estaba pequeño unos 8 ó 9 años. Fue una tarde que andaba con mi papá y escuchabamos la radio mientras el conducía. Pusieron la canción y le pregunté por el cantante y fui en ese momento cuando me enamoré del reggae. Bob Marley se convirtió en mi cantante favorito y esta en mi canción favorita sobre cualquier otra.

Por otro lado años después entendería la letra y bueno...eso podría ser tema de otra entrada de este blog...
