waiting in vain...

1, 2, 3:

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love.
From the very first time I blessed my eyes on you, girl,
My heart says follow t'rough.
But I know, now, that I'm way down on your line,
But the waitin' feel is fine:
So don't treat me like a puppet on a string,
'Cause I know I have to do my thing.
Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb;
I wanna know when you're gonna come - soon.
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love,
'Cause if summer is here,
I'm still waiting there;
Winter is here,
And I'm still waiting there.

Like I said:
It's been three years since I'm knockin' on your door,
And I still can knock some more:
Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible?
I wanna know now, for I to knock some more.
Ya see, in life I know there's lots of grief,
But your love is my relief:
Tears in my eyes burn - tears in my eyes burn
While I'm waiting - while I'm waiting for my turn,
See!

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love, oh!
I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna -
I don't wanna wait in vain.
I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna -
I don't wanna wait in vain.
No, I don't wanna (I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna -
I don't wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain) -
No I - no I (I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't
wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain) -
No, no-no, I, no, I (I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna -
I don't wanna - I don't

wanna wait in vain) -

It's your love that I'm waiting on (I don't wanna - I don't wanna -
I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain);
It's me love that you're running from.
It's Jah love that I'm waiting on (I don't wanna - I don't wanna -
I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain);
It's me love that you're running from.

Vain

1. Having or showing an excessively high opinion of one's appearance, abilities, or worth.

2. Producing no result; useless: "a vain attempt to sleep".
vain.... usaha yang sia-sia?

waiting in vain adalah sebuah lagu yang dipopulerkan oleh Bob Marley, sang legenda musik reggae. and the song got a few similar points with some situations in my real life...

i am waiting in vain...

pertama kali denger lagu ini, yang aku cari dan nikmati hanyalah nikmatnya beat reggae Bob Marley sekaligus nada-nadanya yang selow seperti pulau. the music really defines freedom. tapi, setelah beberapa menit dengerin liriknya, aku sadar bahwa apa yang Bob coba ceritakan disini kebetulan mirip dengan apa yang kualami...

yes i am waiting in vain...

i am waiting in vain for your (her) love..

i dont wanna wait in vain, but thats the reality..

i do waiting in vain...

it's been three years.. since im knockin on your door..
and I still can knock some more..

i need to move on...

there's still a long way there for me :)
