Look! Damascus no goin be one big town no moa.

2 Da peopo goin leave all da towns Aroer side.
Dey all goin go way from ova dea.

Dey goin lay down dea,
An no goin get nobody fo make dem sked.
3 Inside da Efraim land,
No goin get towns dat get strong wall no moa.
Inside da Damascus land,
No goin get kings no moa.
Da Aram kings from Damascus,
An da Israel kings from Efraim,
Dey was awesome befo time.
But bumbye, da ones dat still stay alive
From da Aram peopo an da Israel peopo,
Dey no goin be awesome no moa.
Az how goin be, Da One In Charge, Da God Ova All Da Armies tell.
4 Dat time, eryting dat stay awesome now
