    Don't know why deciphering Boney M lyrics is so important to the OP, but I guess they make more sense than his posts.
    Her accents sounds like a foreigner speaking English to me and her pronunciation is a bit off e.g. when she is singing got to have a belief in she pronounces it "got to have a believe in". She sounds like a non native speaker to me. I'm not very familiar with West Indies accents so she might just have an unfamiliar accent. Some London accents now sound foreign to me. They definitely have influence from all the migrants that have went there over the years and sound different from the accents of the past.

    Please Dear Ireland...

    Do not make the same mistakes as the English .. preserve your culture and tradition..

    Look what happened to the English royal family with the "colored" American woman. ... look who is the British prime minister ...

    King Arthur, the castles shrouded in fog, Shakespeare, Richard the Lionheart.... All these will be lost in time, like tears in rain ..

    Ireland is no better and is going to way of all European countries. Too much immigration happening in all of Europe and it is happening too quickly. Most cities now no matter where you go in Europe are multi-ethnic. They are unrecognisable from a decade or two ago. I can't see it stopping with the way things are going. It will be interesting to see what happens in Italy and Sweden with more Right-wing leaning governments being elected.

    I love her voice though and Boney M had many great catchy songs.
