Once on This Island Soundtrack lyrics
One Small Girl lyrics [STORYTELLERS] One small girl In a tree Torn from her mother Crying in fright One small girl Tossed by sea And left to face The stormy night Once small girl Holding tight [STORYTELLERS (Spoken in rhythm)] At last the storm subsided. And the morning sun glowed. And two old peasants came cautiously down the road. [TONTON JULIAN] Mama Euralie! [MAMA EURALIE] Tonton Julian! [MAMA (spoken)] Asaka is smiling again, Julian. [TONTON] This morning she smiles. Last night she tried to blow our heads off. [MAMA] Ah, Julian, just listen to those birds. [BIRDS] Coo coo coo coo coo Coo coo coo coo coo [LITTLE TI MOUNE] Aaaahh! [TONTON] What kind of bird is that? [MAMA] Look! There! [MAMA] One small face Two small knees [TONTON] Why are you up there? [MAMA] What is your name? [MAMA] The girl can't speak [TONTON (Gesturing up)] And they're to blame Agwe probably meant to kill her [MAMA (spoken in rhythm)] The she'd be dead [TONTON] It's possible he forgot [MAMA] The god's don't forget [TONTON] Then they had some reason to spare Her life [BOTH] It's best that we don't know what One small girl... Better not. [TONTON (spoken)] But we are too old for children [MAMA] We have no room, and no food... [ERZULIE] And not knowing why, they followed their hearts back to the tree, gently lifted the terrified child down... [LITTLE TI MOUNE] Noo!!! [ERZULIE] And discovered that she could speak after all. [MEN] One small girl [WOMEN] In the way [MAMA] Constantly hungry [TONTON] Learning too quick [ALL (but little Ti Moune)] One small girl Hard at play [TONTON] She makes me smile [MAMA] She scares me sick! [ERZULIE] And they scolded and teased And held her And mended the clothes she tore [ALL (but Mama, Tonton and Little Ti Moune)] And the hut was crowded And food was scarce And somehow, their lives held more One small girl To live for. [A STORYTELLER] They named her Desiree Dieu-Donne or God-Given Desire. But in their affection, they simply called her Ti Moune. [LITTLE TI MOUNE] What does Ti Moune mean, Mama? [MAMA] It means little orphan. Saved by the gods for something special! [LITTLE TI MOUNE] What is it? [MAMA] Ti Moune, if we knew why the gods did the things they do, we would be gods ourselves! [LITTLE TI MOUNE] Someday I'm going to ask them, Mama! [ALL (but Mama, Tonton and Little Ti Moune)] Sweet as a eucalyptus And terrible as a tempest Banging a drun And humming a tune... Ti Moune Falling And running And calling And growing And growing And growing And growing...up too soon... [TONTON] One small girl [MAMA] Not so small [TONTON] Lost in those daydreams [MAMA] Day after day [STROYTELLERS] Ooh way ooh [TONTON] Call her name [MAMA] No, don't call [STROYTELLERS] Ooh way ooh [BOTH] Her ears Don't hear She's far away [TONTON] And I know that She's getting older [MAMA] I know that it's Meant to be [BOTH] And my arms Can't hold her And keep her small But all that my Heart can see... Aaahhh [MAMA, TONTON] Is one small Girl [MEN] One small Girl [WOMEN] One small Girl [MAMA, TONTON] One small Girl [MEN] One small Girl [WOMEN] One small Girl [MAMA, TONTON] One small Girl [MEN] One small Girl [WOMEN] One small Girl [MAMA, TONTON] In a tree [ALL] Ooh, ooh way ooh Ooh, ooh way ooh...
