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
