Murder In Dancehall is a website that exposes the violent and disrespectful lyrics conveyed in dancehall music towards the gay and lesbian community.

This specific song is the first reggae song (to my knowledge) that deal positively with homosexuality and that criticize dancehall hmophobia.
Homoriginal – K2R Riddim

ENGLISH TRANSLATION FOLLOW

C'est l'histoire d'un homme qui n'a pas choisi son humeur,
Ni même la direction que voulait prendre son coeur,
Il était d'une nature plutôt optimiste,
Un véritable gay plutôt qu'un homme totalement triste,
Il appréciait sa vie, vivait ses sentiments
Malgré le regard des autres, un homme simplement
Fan de reggae music, depuis bien longtemps
La déception fut grande quand il entendit certains chants

Homoriginal
Ils te reprochent ta vraie nature
Homoriginal,
Ce n'est pas par la haine qu'évoluera le futur

C'est l'histoire d'une musique vieille de 60 ans
Porteuse d'un message de paix, un discours tolérant
Pour les déracinés, les exclus, les vivants.
Un chant d'espoir essentiel à notre temps.
Comment imaginer voir cet idéal corrompu,
Par les discours de haine de ces hommes au salut.
Pourquoi la différence fait peur au premier venu ?
Pourquoi la musique porterait des paroles qui tuent.

Là bas, il fut coupable d'être sodomite,
Ailleurs ils furent tués pour être israélites,
Pas plus que vous je ne suis à l'abri,
Des abus de pouvoir, du rejet du mépris.
Autant pour nos faiblesses que pour nos qualités,
En un mot ce qui fait toute notre identité,
Sachons le préserver de l'uniformité

Homoriginal,
Depuis quand l'amour serait-il contre-nature ?



ENGLISH TRANSLATION
I took the freelance to make a personal translation of the song. I am not perfectly bilingual. I will make it revised eventually.

It's the story of one man who hasn't choose it's humor,
Neighter the direction that his heart would follow,
He was of an optimist nature,
A real gay instead of foundamentally being sad,
Appreciating his life, living his feelings,
Despite the critical look of others, a simple man,
Fan of reggae music, for such a long time,
The deception was huge when he heard some of the songs.

Homoroginal (aka: original man) (It's a double meaning word created for the purpode of the song with the word HOMME combined with HOMOSEXUAL combined with ORIGINAL (in french, 'Man' is 'Homme')
They reproche you for being your trueself.
It is not with hatered that there will be an evolution for the future.

It's the story of a 60-year old music,
Caring a message of peace, spreading tolerance,
For the uproots, the excluds, the livings,
A chant of hope for our time,
How can we imagine this ideal being corrupted,
By hatered messages of people preaching their vision of holyness.
Why does difference afraid the first come,
W hy does music carry words that kills?

Over there he was guilty of being sodomite,
Somewhere else, they were killed for being Israelites,
Not more than you am I sheltered from excess of power, rejection and scorn.
For our weakness and our qualities,
In other words, everything that build up our identity,
Let us preserve it from uniformity.

Since when love is against nature?
