Vallya

When the sound starts flowing,
from one end to another my body vibrates
Sweat drips on my naked back
and soaks so many of my muscles
Boom the dancehall! My aim is not a handsome boy
Boom, boom the dancehall! What I want is...

Let's get a sweat, don't need to sit there
I wanna get sweat, until fever breaks out
There is no vallya*, vallya is broken
It's a beginning of something, that's right
let's break the vallya

Demolishing an invisible wall,
we need no more vallya
There is no place we cannot enter,
from here on
Breaking out of shell, and moving
we have no more vallya
Before we realized it, the world is
no vallya

Jumpin', jumpin' we need no more vallya
Jumpin', jumpin' we have no more vallya
Jumpin', jumpin' we need no more vallya
Jumpin', jumpin' we have no more vallya

The man who meets his back to that dancing woman,
yesterday he was a stranger,
and yet now he's like a ranger of a forest
Because dancehall doesn't have any rules
or established routines
And by no means it has a dress code
The only one taboo is a fight

Let's get a sweat, don't need to sit there
I wanna get sweat, until fever breaks out
There is no vallya, vallya is broken
It's a beginning of something, that's right
let's break the vallya

Demolishing an invisible wall,
we need no more vallya
There is no place we cannot enter,
from here on
Breaking out of shell, and moving
we have no more vallya
Before we realized it, the world is
no vallya

Jumpin', jumpin' we need no more vallya
Jumpin', jumpin' we have no more vallya
Jumpin', jumpin' we need no more vallya
Jumpin', jumpin' we have no more vallya

The rich men who hide rolls of money in their pockets,
the homeless who have not yet decided where they will sleep after,
The ladies who are already so tired of men,
and also the bitches who are looking for their man from afar

Let's get a sweat, don't need to sit there
I wanna get sweat, until fever breaks out
There is no vallya, vallya is broken
It's a beginning of something, that's right
let's break the vallya

Demolishing an invisible wall,
we need no more vallya
There is no place we cannot enter,
from here on
Breaking out of shell, and moving
we have no more vallya
Before we realized it, the world is
no vallya

Jumpin', jumpin' we need no more vallya
Jumpin', jumpin' we have no more vallya
Jumpin', jumpin' we need no more vallya
Jumpin', jumpin' we have no more vallya


*Vallya comes from Jamaican Patois "barria" - which means a barrier.
