[Verse 1] When di music play, every nation sway Different tongues but we all got somethin' to say Jazz from New Orleans to Tokyo Bay One beat, one groove, we all find our way [Chorus] When the rhythm speaks (Quand le rythme parle) Every heart understands (Cada corazón entiende) Music speaks all languages (音楽は全ての言葉) Breaking down the walls, joining hands [Verse 2] Sax man blowin' sweet from Kingston town Bass line heavy, making people get down Jazz and reggae fusion, natural sound Breaking barriers, no need for a crown [Post-chorus] [Horn section solo] (La-la-di-da, way-oh) [Turntable scratches] (Music speaks, yeah) [Verse 3] From di street corner to di concert hall Di rhythm universal, touching all Jazz cats jammin' with di island call Making music that can never fall [Chorus] When the rhythm speaks (Quando il ritmo parla) Every heart understands (Todos os corações entendem) Music speaks all languages (موسيقى تتكلم كل اللغات) Breaking down the walls, joining hands [Bridge] [Jazz trumpet solo] (One world, one rhythm) [Bass and drums breakdown] (Every nation, every station) [Final Chorus] When the rhythm speaks Every heart understands Music speaks all languages Breaking down the walls, joining hands
