Hi everybody!I wuold like to have your help!I want to understand the written song by damian Marley!This song has got many jamaican slangs and it's difficult to em understand it!Please could someone translate it to american english!i would be very grateful ok!The song is Beautiful by Damian Marley.

[Verse 1]
And me and she we trampoose a lot
Several mornings she shampoos my locks
Always have my back she stand true to dat
Real type of loving, thank you for that
Yow...run barefoot without no shoes and socks
Cause she keep herself clean mi nah go catch no rash
And she love me for real mi nuh haffi have no cash
And any little thing from mi splish she splash
Yow...all this blinging it's like you forgot
Use cheddar as the bait den you recruit a rat
So we listen couple speech of Martin Luther chat
Dennis Brown, Bob Marley and some Super Cat
Yow...seem like she upside the duko shop
Cause she don't have a scratch it's only beautiful spot
When one duty start is when one duty stop
One nine to five, one five to twelve o'clock
You see me

[Chorus: Bobby Brown]
Beautiful
Here we go again
My love, you know
I will never let you go
My love
Beautiful
Here we go

[Verse 2]
And I remember when we met and we began dating
And everything was copacet' and we began mating
And then the way mi love her good, she gimme don ratings
Because mi style dem plentiful and ah nuh one way thing
And she get belly full and ah nuh pot scrapings
And the closer we become the more she gravitating
Until we buckle down and there is no escaping
Now it typically became an everyday thing
Regularly, physically communicating sexually, scientifically penetrating
Until she start spiritually resonating
Ah so mi know she real and seh she ah nuh play thing
She is the only Queen, the King is designating
And so mi seal the deal I am negotiating
I know it's kinda deep but keep on concentrating
Cause Jazzy lay di beat and I am clearly stating

[Chorus: Bobby Brown]
Beautiful
Here we go again
My love, you know
I will never let you go
My love
Beautiful
Here we go

You can't go back for what you've missed
So make it count, hold on tight find a way to make it right
You only get one trip
So make it good, make it last 'cause it all flies by so fast
You only get one trip

He has found his soul mate and her beauty goes beyond physical appearance. It has become a serious commited relationship where he has found, Love, Practical and emotional support, they connect on all levels, culturally, emotionally, politically, spiritually. She is romantic and sexy and attends to his needs as he does her, the combination of them both makes one whole.....therefore she is "beautiful"

And me and she we trampoose a lot
She and I hangout/go out a lot
Several mornings she shampoos my locks
Many mornings she washes my dreadlocks
Always have my back she stand true to dat
I can always depend on her, she is very true.
Real type of loving, thank you for that
Gives the real type of loving, I thank you for that.
Yow...run barefoot without no shoes and socks
Hello! Run barefeet with out shoes or socks (this means, he makes love to her without a condom)
Cause she keep herself clean mi nah go catch no rash
Because she keeps herself clean, I wont catch a rash (Because she doesn't sleep around, he has no fear of catching a disease)

And she love me for real mi nuh haffi have no cash
And she really loves me though I have no money
And any little thing from mi splish she splash
Anything I need/she needs, we give each other (No very sure of how to translate this one )

Yow...all this blinging it's like you forgot
All this jewellery and one would forget
Use cheddar as the bait den you recruit a rat
That if you use cheese as a bait, you can only catch a rat.

So we listen couple speech of Martin Luther chat
Dennis Brown, Bob Marley and some Super Cat
Yow...seem like she upside the duko shop
She is not found inside a duco ( auto spray painting) shop
Cause she don't have a scratch it's only beautiful spot
Because (unlike a car) she doesnt have a scratch, its only beauty spots (Complimenting her body)

When one duty start is when one duty stop
One nine to five, one five to twelve o'clock (he's talking about 2 separate bouts of lovemaking: 9-5 and 5-12 )
You see me

[Chorus: Bobby Brown]
Beautiful
Here we go again
My love, you know
I will never let you go
My love
Beautiful
Here we go

Hello guys!thank you so much for helping me to translate this song!You all have helped me a lot!I am so grateful for that ok!Bye!see ya!

Hi Johnny!It's missing one part of the song that you forgot to "translate"!Could you please trnaslate the last part of it!?Thanks a lot!

Hi Clecio,
Glad I could be of assistance.
Please note however...Most Jamaican dielect, especially when used in a lyrical or "slang" form does not truly tranlsate word for word to the English language.
What really matters is the idea that it connotates. As such, often times, you will ask for an english translation from (for instance) 3 different sources and you receive 3 different (worded) translations. However, the ideas are usually the same.

Best of Luck



Verse 2]
And I remember when we met and we began dating
And everything was copacet' and we began mating
And everything was fine (satisfactory) and we began to make love

And then the way mi love her good, she gimme don ratings
And the good way I made love to her, she held me in high regards

Because mi style dem plentiful and ah nuh one way thing
Because I had numerous lovemaking techniques, not just one way.

And she get belly full and ah nuh pot scrapings
She gets more than enough loving, not just leftovers (meager sum )

And the closer we become the more she gravitating
And the closer we get the more she is attracted to me
Until we buckle down and there is no escaping
Until we eventually get down to business and there is no escaping/going back.

Now it typically became an everyday thing
Regularly, physically communicating sexually, scientifically penetrating
Until she start spiritually resonating
Until she became spiritually synchronized with me

Ah so mi know she real and seh she ah nuh play thing
Thats how I know for sure that she is for real and not a fake.

She is the only Queen, the King is designating
She is the only Queen (I), the king will choose

And so mi seal the deal I am negotiating
And so I confirm my commitment to this endevour.

I know it's kinda deep but keep on concentrating
I know this level of reasoning is truly indepth, but continue to focus

Cause Jazzy lay di beat and I am clearly stating
Because Jazzy (? ) sets the pace and I am simply making my declaration.
