Hi.I'm Japanese.

Please someone tell me the real lyric of this song.

Indeed "opulin"and"Iceland" are include in the lyric?

If so,please tell the meaning.

Which of "vanity" and ”confidence” close to "Pomps" ?(I want to know plus image or not)

[Georgiemanutd]

@FuckKandC pomps comes from pomposity, which is a synonym of arrogance, but the toots interpretate it as feeling happy and proud

[FuckKandC]

@Georgiemanutd

[k0204865]

What a great island Jamaica is! All of the prejudice of 300+ years of white man oppression and yet the people are still able to smile and dance as well as revolutionise 20th century music! Hail Norman Manley and the PNP!

[vkerrid]

a tink u in de wrang sang site,,if u nuh know wat pomps is,,yuh lass?

[oldphoque]

I still don`t know what pomps are. pompadores?

[akcarlos]

I guess english is your second language or your american (same thing), may I suggest you look pomp up in a dictionary.

[oldphoque]

Well, you were quick to criticize me for asking a question. You never answered my actual question. What are pomps? You don`t even know because it is jargon, not language.

[jjt99]

No its english....they play the song 'pomp and circumstance' at every graduation...just look it up

[SoldierofFortune07]

oh so this is a ska cover of Elgars Pomp and Pride?

I never would've guessed I was so blown away by toots voice. I knew it sounded familiar though

[rosco0101]

Not ska at all; the song is reggae/rocksteady.

[SoldierofFortune07]

oh my mistake. I just made that assumption because Toots and the maytals were from the first wave of ska

[MODSandSKINS69]

they were reggae mostly not much ska. this song is considered early roots reggae

[thecurbsidestomp]

Wrong.

[chadfitzy]

its a show of magnificents or a ceramonial of festive display

[SoldierofFortune07]

I'd imagine, in the context its being used in, that they're using pomp as the stem of "pompous". Also because i think the adjectives are similar and the fact pomp would go better with pride than "pompous and pride". Hope I gave you an idea what pomp means, but I could be wrong

[877887788]

hi my dad told me about this song reminds me of him so much when we were kids ...the song won a competition for the song for the carnival at the time ...like eurovision comp and pomp and pride was like dreessingh up and feeling fine in you best clothes feeling good etc etc

[PavelPenguin]

I saw these hep cats in NYC & San Diego ... They are the definition of classic. LOVE THIS SONG!!!

[CoPimpin]
