Lyrics:
They rode in the morning
Casablanca to the west
On the Atlas Mountain foothills leading down to Marakesh
For Mohammed and Morocco
We had taken up our guns
For the ashes of our fathers and the children of our sons.
For the ashes of our fathers and the children of our sons.
In the dry winds of summer
They were sharpening the blades.
They were riding to act upon the promise we had made.
With the fist and the dagger
With the rifle and the lance
We will suffer no intrusion from the Infidels of France.
We will suffer no intrusion from the Infidels of France.
Ride, ride, ride, ride to Agadir.
Ride, ride, ride, ride to Agadir.
They could wait no more
In the burning sands on the ride to Agadir.
Ride, ride, ride, ride to Agadir.
Like the dogs of war
For the future of this land on the ride to Agadir.
Ride, ride, ride, ride to Agadir.
Though they were waiting
And they were fifty to our ten
They were easily outnumbered by a smaller force of men.
As the darkness was falling
They were soon to realize
We were going to relieve them of their God-Forsaken lives.
We were going to relieve them of their God-Forsaken lives.
They could wait no more
In the burning sands on the ride to Agadir.
Ride, ride, ride, ride to Agadir.
Like the dogs of war
For the future of this land on the ride to Agadir.
Ride, ride, ride, ride to Agadir.
They rode in the morning
Casablanca to the west
On the Atlas Mountain foothills leading down to Marakesh
For Mohammed and Morocco
We had taken up our guns
For the ashes of our fathers and the children of our sons.
For the ashes of our fathers and the children of our sons.

Agadir is my native city ! Am very happy to hear this song for the first time in my life ! Thanks so much Boney M

[@annaritaranalli1791]

Marocco should be beautiful

[@andreventer8734]

Listen to the original by Mike Batt.

[@king3025]

I heard it for the first time in 1982. I went to look up where Agadir was then!!

[@hadasaesthera3061]

​@@king3025where is it and what happened there?

[@czomolungmen1506]

I visited Agadir and Morocco. Awesome country 😎

[@RogerWilco66]

Heard that song 2 weeks ago while driving from Marrakesh to Zagora, passing through the Atlas mountains. Awesome!

[@jerryterwase9027]

I've always imagined this video in my head. Watching it for the first time, I'm not disappointed.

[@petersunday1111]

One of the amazing things about Boney M's songs is the outstanding arrangement of the instrumentation of the songs. Am an instrumentalist, I know what am talking about

[@hs0022]

Yes Boney M was a badass act!

[@astarto6946]

One of my best!!! I was fallen in love to Boney M from 1985, when I was 5 years old!

[@estuardocaceres3116]

Me too in 1984 , I was 13

[@hs0022]

I started listening to them before that in 1980. They were very popular in Nigeria along with Bob Marley!

[@sylhetsurma27]

It’s a totally different song by the Boney M.it’s not only mind blowing-this is a historical song for ever.

[@sunvalley5040]

They have some more songs with historical pretext. Rasputin and My Baker come up at once.

[@MygueCovershits]

Hello from Spain, love Boney M songs! 👏🏼

[@francisantony12]

I was born and raised in india. Boney M used to be - I think they still are - very popular when I was growing up. I grew up listening and loving them Listened to this song a million times. Although I migrated to united States later on, I continued listening to them regularly. To my surprise nobody in US had even heard about the band Till this week I never quitr understood the meaning of the lines - and never bothered to find out - song was sooo melodious and sufficient for me Currently we are visiting morocco and came across all the places mentioned in the song including Agadir. Even my Moroccan car driver was surprised to hear an old song about his City. None of the other people I came across in morocco had heard about this song either. Although I now know the lyrics - thanks to Google- I still do not know, if it is alluding to any real events ( Google pulled up nothing regarding the context of the lyrics) Does anyone know if Mike Butt ( the while British guy who wrote the original lyrics ) meant to describe any real battles or incidents ?

[@adrianalondonoecheverri8741]

No necesitaron que los estadounidenses les quisieran ya que el resto del planeta los amó.

[@therealdeal6012]

Musically speaking, this one of the best songs of BoneyM The voices, the arrangements, the different sounds in the song, the theme of the song and just the overall feeling of the song, not to mention the excellent video. Amazingly good 👍

[@Clare147]

The Original is far better!

Композиция - огонь, исполнение - супер. Намного опередившее своё время. 👍

[@sabineb.5616]

The original version of Mike Batt is much better 😀

[@CharlesYuditsky]

​@@sabineb.5616 They are both great. This one is my favorite with its straight-up David Gilmore guitar work (could swear it was him) and the angelicly harmonic singing by the ladies

[@sabineb.5616]

@@CharlesYuditsky, it's a matter of personal preferences 😀 Since I am German, I might have some prejudices against Boney M. You probably know that the group started out as nothing more than good looking black models who were cast by the German pop singer and producer Frank Farian, who did the first recordings all by himself in his studio. At that time Boney M. was just Frank Farian's alter ego! And when the band was cast by Farian, some members lip synched - a bit like Frank Farian's other infamous group Milli Vanilli 😉 But unlike Milli Vanilli, who never recovered from the lip synching scandal, Boney M. never had a "dirty" secret, because it was always known that some members only danced and moved their lips when Boney M. performed live. And the group managed to get a few members who didn't just look good, but who really could sing very well 😀 Anyway, concerning Boney M. I still have a bit of a bad taste in my mouth because IMO Frank Farian, who wasn't sexy or charismatic, "blaxploited" the Afro-Carribean band members and their music and culture in order to sell his own music under another name. I should clarify that I don't hold it against Farian, that he used elements of Afro-Carribean and American gospel music! I think that today's wholesale condamnation of cultural appropriation goes too far and stifles artistic creativity. But Farian exploited the great looks and dancing abilities of the band members without reckognizing them as artists.

[@CharlesYuditsky]

@@sabineb.5616 All kinds of scumbags make money. Welcome to America...I mean Europe! A chick friend of mine just pointed out that he straight up sampled Pink Floyd the Wall album, but holy hell what a good job! For all this guys rip-offs, the product is still great. I'm sure he is hated in France as well.

I really love this song, one of my favorites from this album, always gives some The Wall vibes from Pink Floyd in some way when I listen to it

[@user-ew4se6ic2q]

Yes! Especially - rhitm drums and guitar!

[@CharlesYuditsky]

Actually is very much sounds like Boney sampled The Wall. Id wager 100 he did. Still and awesome composition with the origional arrangment amd harmonics.

[@PaulTaylor1]

​@@CharlesYuditskydon't know about sampled, but Farian (the producer and the singer here) definitely copied it. Also listen to the opening bars of track 1 of the Boonoonoonoos album.

[@scottsrush]

I thought the same when I heard this song and album.

ClausRland I don't understand it.Earlier I could always find on Google,Wikipedia under Boney M. the history,hitlists and also each album with Personell.Do not succeed in finding the vocal list.It was there before and find out for example that there were extra singers on the album Eye Dance.Song Give it up,Sounds like Liz,but she isn't !

[@misterofsound1756]

Sultan Graf You are totally right,a genius in producing well sounded music but not the face of Boney M.,Milli Vanilli,No Mercy,La Bouche.that are the members of those groups. He was also specialised in almost not paying his artists who did sing and or perform his productions.

[@georgekuenzli8752]

@@misterofsound1756 : Which really is a terrible shortcoming of Frank Farian, who also treated the members of Boney M very unkindly. Marcia Barrett said to this subject: In the beginning, working with Frank Farian was very good. Frank finished the music first, then Liz and I did the vocals. In the studio, he always made sure I got my champagne and Liz got her cognac. However, the band's everyday life was quite stressful: We toured almost non-stop and were already recording the next album at the same time. We were also omnipresent on TV shows and at press conferences. Frank wanted to get the maximum out of us.

Something very odd happens at 1:05, sounds like an edit to a totally different mix with Liz's voice way out front - although I don't hear Liz anywhere else here or on the album version, and the rest of it sounds for all the world like a Frank solo effort.
