Jangkro

It's a poem about a popular bird in Jamaica called John Crow.

(Patois)

 

Nahsi niegah call mi peel ed jangkro,

But mi noh kier wa dem seh bout mi.

Mi noh laik picheery caw dem gi tumuch troble.

Dem fiesi bud deh noh laik mi needa.

Ebry time dem si mi, dem pick mi inna mi ed.

Mi affi fly high fi get weh fran dem.

 

Mi jus a glaid wiay up inna di sky peaceful.

Di breeze feel gud ahnda mi wing dem.

Ebryting pan di grong luk soh likke bit.

Bad mine peeple a fite gyence wan aneddda.

Mi noh bizniz wid wah gwaan dung deh.

Mi jus wah fine a pisa rattn meat fi nyam.
