Ras Orchestra – No Way Back (Нет пути назад)

So what. If the weather gods aren’t cooperating, the true rasta man or woman will make it sunny themselves. Jah (in Russian Джа) is great.

Njet puti nazad

The opening track is by Ras Orchestra (not to be confused with Rasta Orchestra). Нет means no or not, путь is a way or path (it becomes пути when there is no way); назад means back or ago. Нет пути назад: no way back.

The song is from 2009, and the video may be a bit dusty, but it still sounds sunny, and that’s always useful. You can also listen to Ras Orchestra on Spotify; other tracks on YouTube include Это Твоя Жизнь (It’s Your Life) and Вавилон, гори! (Burn, Babylon). If you find the lyrics for Нет пути назад online, be sure to let us know.
