Yesterday lots of sorrows,
Today we want joy.
Ye who are still cryin',
I beg you dry your weeping eyes:
'Cause tomorrow we don't want no sorrow.

Yesterday we were hungry,
Today we belly full.
Yesterday we were naked,
Today we have clothing.
Ye who are still hungry,
I beg you, have a little patien':
'Cause tomorrow there will be no sorrow.

Oh, what a joy - when we have love in our hearts,
Oh, what a joy - we should have love from the start.

Try not to be ignorant,
Or be a slave to your temper.
Try not to be ignorant and be moderate,
In your behaviour, yeah.
