La historia de Boney M, uno de los grupos más icónicos de la música disco, comenzó a finales de los años 70. Fue el productor alemán Frank Farian quien ideó el concepto del grupo en 1975. Curiosamente, Farian grabó la primera canción, “Baby Do You Wanna Bump?”, él mismo, utilizando su propia voz tanto para la parte masculina como femenina. Sin embargo, pronto se dio cuenta de que necesitaba un grupo visible para interpretar las canciones en vivo y promover los discos.
Farian reunió a cuatro cantantes y bailarines de diversas partes del mundo: Liz Mitchell y Marcia Barrett de Jamaica, Maizie Williams de Montserrat y Bobby Farrell de Aruba. Esta heterogénea mezcla no solo aportó un sabor único a sus actuaciones en directo, sino que también se convirtió en una de las señas de identidad del grupo.
Boney M catapultó al estrellato con el lanzamiento de "Daddy Cool" en 1976. La canción se convirtió en un éxito instantáneo, alcanzando los primeros puestos en las listas musicales de todo el mundo. A esta le siguieron otros clásicos como “Sunny”, “Ma Baker” y “Rivers of Babylon”. Su habilidad para combinar ritmos pegajosos, letras memorables y una puesta en escena vibrante hizo que Boney M dominara la escena de la música disco.
Su primer álbum, Take the Heat off Me (1976), fue un rotundo éxito y sirvió

We Kill the World Song Lyrics
We Kill the World by Boney M. I see mushrooms, atomic mushrooms.
I see rockets, missiles in the sky.
Day by day, more and more,
Where will this lead to
and what is this good for?
Poor World, Poor World.
Concrete's rising up,
where yearerday was park
you heard the Robin's Song
Heavy tractor runs
where air was clean and cool
make money, bringing fuel.
Where will this lead to
and what is this good for?
A Poor World, Poor World.
Fishes doomed to die
as people live close by
and oaktree falls with moon
Parking lots will come
with flowerfields were bright
as junkyard covers sight!
Where will this lead to
and what is this good for?
Poor world, is hurting bad,
Poor world, is doomed to die.
We kill the world
kill the world
We surely do
In peace we do!
We kill the world
kill the world
'cause we don't know
what we are doing!
We kill it
One by one
Don't realize!
And nuclear piles stand like monuments
of destruction throughout over the country
Promenades must go
so cars can drive in row
New Fact'ry towers tall
Farmhouse had to fall
No flowers in the air
pollution everywhere.
Where will this lead to
and what is this good for?
A Poor world, Poor World.
Oceans in despair
There's rubbish everywhere
The seaweed chokes in mud
Nature's had her lot
With nuclear waste and rot
And mushrooms bloom as clouds.
Where will this lead to
and what is this good for?
Poor world, is hurting bad,
poor world, is doomed to die.
We kill the world...
Don't kill the world
don't let her down.
Do not destroy basic ground.
Don't kill the world
our means of life.
Lend ear to nature's cry.
Don't kill the world
She's all we have,
And surely is worth to save.
Don't let her die,
fight for her trees,
Pollution robs air to breathe.
Don't kill the world
help her survive
And she'll reward you with life
And don't just talk,
Go on and do the one, who wins is you.
Cherish the world,
A present from God
On behalf of all creatures,
made by the Lord
Care for the earth,
Foundation of life
Slow progress down help her survive
