The Gladiators - See And Blind [1985] (With Lyrics)

In this song The Gladiators emphasize an important part of folk wisdom in Jamaican culture.
“See And Blind, Hear and Deaf” means that the things we hear and say should not be spread around in conversation. It is stated clearly when they sing “Leave my business and attend to your own” and they double down on that sentiment by stating “A wah no trouble you, no trouble it” (What doesn't trouble you, don't trouble it). Another saying is paraphrased in this song which reinforces this idea “Trouble deh a bush, you might bring it come ah yard” , originally the saying goes “Trouble deh ah bush , Anancy carry it come ah yard”. Anancy is the mythical spider that stirs up trouble and mischief in many Jamaican folk stories and in this case Anancy learns of something happening outside the home and brings that information back. The idea is that the consequences of “news-carrying”, as Jamaicans often call it, is described by the Gladiators that you could be “held” (captured) or “wrongfully framed”. These are some examples of what can happen when people do not mind their own business as is often the case, The Gladiators use a variety of sayings, parables and proverbs to convey their message in their songs. - Sir James
