We Dance
There is an island where rivers run deep
- There is an island where rivers run deep
- Where the sea sparkling in the sun
- Earns it the name Jewel of the Antilles
- An island where the poorest of peasants labor
- And the wealthiest of grands hommes play
- Two different worlds on one island
- The grands hommes
- With their pale brown skins and their French ways
- Owners of the land and masters of their own fates
- And the peasants black as night
- Eternally at the mercy of the wind and the sea
- Who pray constantly to the gods
- Asaka grow me a garden
- Please Agwe don't flood my garden
- Erzulie who will my love be
- Papa Ge don't come around me
- Aah such powerful such temperamental gods rule our island
- Asaka Mother of the Earth
- Agwe God of Water
- Erzulie beautiful Goddess of Love
- And Papa Ge sly Demon of Death
- Asaka grow me a garden
- Please Agwe don't flood my garden
- Erzulie who will my love be
- Papa Ge don't come around me
- Please Agwe don't flood my garden
- Asaka grow me a garden
- We dance
- We dance
- To the music of the gods
- The music of the breezes through the green plantain
- The murmur of the river and the roar of rain
- And if the gods decide to send a hurricane
- We dance
- We dance
- To their everchanging moods
- We know the gods are happy when the green things grow
- They're angry when the river starts to overflow
- And since we never know which way their winds will blow
- We dance to the earth
- We dance to the water
- The gods awake and we take no chance
- Our hearts hear the song
- Our feet move along
- And to the music of the gods
- We dance
- On the other side of this island
- Safe behind high walls and iron gates
- The grands hommes dance to a different tune
- La la la la la la la la
- They drink champagne
- Entertain tourists at their fine hotels
- And tell their servants
- Polish up the Mercedes
- La la la la la la la la
- Two different worlds
- Never meant to meet
- The peasants labor
- The grands hommes eat
- How fine our clothes are
- How fast we drive
- We dance at parties
- While we are dancing just to stay alive
- We dance
- We dance
- What else is there to do
- But plant the seed
- And pull the w**d
- And chop the cane
- And bear the child
- And bear the load
- And bear the pain
- And as the rich go racing
- To their own refrain
- We dance to the earth
- We dance to the water
- The gods awake and we take no chance
- Our hearts hear the song
- Our feet move along
- And to the music of the gods
- We dance to the earth
- We dance to the water
- The gods awake and we take no chance
- Two different worlds
- Ooh la
- Never meant to meet
- Ooh la
- But if the gods move our feet
- We dance
- We dance
- We dance
Missing theater days!
