Likeit Matters Boderation means something is bothersome, so when he says "a wey we do yuh", he's literally saying " what did we do to you" you know did I do something to you Mr broke pocket why are you bothering me

The wailers where great when they were together but they become the best & a force when they where separate.thats what happens if you timper with stuff you must'nt mess with!
Once you hit on "Away we do you," there's no mystery or interpretation required. It's a sentiment people might be more accustomed to seeing rendered as "we do away with you." In other words, all you hassles & botherations, we'll do away with you someday. That's how you keep a song positive instead of a long litany of complaining.
Ok, so I've tried to piece together the lyrics from some of the comments below and by listening to it repeatedly, and i think it's fairly close. The repeated "a weh wi du yu" part I have written as "away we do you". My interpretation is that it means "get away from us" not "is what will get you". The song is saying these things are boderations (bothersome) and telling those things to get away.
I like your interpretation, but think he is saying, "a weh wi du yu (a way we do you)." I've always imagined him warning the baby about all the bad things the world has to offer.
that's what's call carrying jah heavy load Babylon inspired tribulations will always be on jahs children's door steps but take heart childrens jah will lightened up thy cross
this song, this song, this song brings tears in mine eyes.... Jah is great.... lucky are we who love this music. reggae forever.......
When I hear the three talents of Bunny Wailer, Bob Marley and Peter Tosh, it's no wonder they made such amazing music as a trio.
Indeed! Too bad bob took such big place in their band, would have love'd to hear more of peter and bunny on the earlier songs.
AGeorghiou Yes I, to be true... me too I agree with you...
peter make some song with bob
P247 Peter was Bob student
P247 khakhathi
Everyday I must listen to this song... beats they drive me crazy
Reggae music makes me so joyful and happy
