The Gladiators. Looks is deceiving

Echarle un vistazo importante a este grupazo, de reggae roots,de los mejores años del reggae en Jamaica. Esta canción extraida del album de 1976 "Trenchtown Mix Up" no es más que una pequeña muestra de la cantidad de temazos que tienen.
Os dejo tambien la letra de la canción, que la encontré. Si no traduje mal, el titulo significa: Las apariencias engañan. El estribillo dice por tanto: Las apariencias engañan, no subestimes. No mires la herramienta o el trabajo que te pueda hacer, mira al hombre que hay detras de ello.( mas o menos) Pues eso...
Disfrutad.
Salud y Suerte G.D.

Ah ah ah - eh gwine red down here inna Babylon
So me give it to ya in a parable
Old time people dem used to say
When short mout tell da can't hear
so when long mout tell you ya ago feel it, feel it
You talk too much, you will pay for what you don't eat
Cow never know da use of im tail till da butcher cut it off
Cow never know da use of im tail till da butcher cut it off

Looks is deceiving, man - don't underrate no man
Looks is deceiving, yeah - don't underrate no man
Don't watch da tool, da work it can do
Watch da man dat behind it
The man laugh first, him nuh laugh yet
the one laugh las', get it full.....

Looks is deceiving, yeah - don't underrate no man
Looks is deceiving, yeah - don't underrate no man

Don't watch da tool, da work it can do
Watch da man dat behind it
The man laugh first, him nuh laugh
yet da one laugh las', get it full
Ah ah ah - it gwine red down here inna Babylon
So me give it to ya in a parable
Ah ah ah - eh gwine red down here inna Babylon
So me give it to ya in a parable
