Once on This Island Soundtrack lyrics
We Dance lyrics [WOMAN] Asaka, grow me a garden [MAN] Please Agwe, don't flood my garden [TWO YOUNG WOMEN] Erzulie, who will my love be? [ALL] Papa Ge don't come around me. [WOMAN (spoken)] Ah, such powerful, such temperamental gods rule our island. [ASAKA] Asaka, Mother of the Earth. [AGWE] Agwe, God of Water. [ERZULIE] Erzulie, beautiful Goddess of Love. [PAPA GE] And Papa Ge, sly Demon of Death. [WOMEN] Asaka, grow me a garden [MEN] Please Agwe, don't flood my garden [WOMEN] Erzulie, who will my love be? [ALL] Papa Ge don't come around me Please Agwe don't flood my garden Asaka grow me a garden... [WOMEN] We dance [MEN] We dance [ALL] To the music of the gods The music of the breezes through The green plaintain The murmur of the river and The roar of rain And if the Gods decide to Send a hurricane [WOMEN] We dance... [MEN] We dance [ALL] To their everchanging moods [WOMAN (ASAKA)] We know the gods are happy When the green things grow [MAN (AGWE)] They're angry when the river Starts to overflow [ALL] And since we never know Which way the winds will blow... [ALL] 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! [ANDREA (spoken)] On the other side of the island, safe behind high walls and iron gates, the grands hommes dance to a different tune. [ALL] La la la la la la la [DANIEL] The drink champagne. Entertain tourists at their fine hotels. And tell their servants, "Polish up the Mercedes!" [ALL] La la la la la la la [MAN] Two different worlds Never meant to meet. [MAN] The peasants labor [WOMAN] The grands hommes... eat! [ANDREA AND DANIEL] How fine Our clothes are! [ALL OTHERS] We dance [ANDREA AND DANIEL] How fast We drive! [ALL OTHERS] We dance [ANDREA AND DANIEL] We dance at parties... [ALL] While we are dancing Just to stay alive... [WOMEN] We dance [MEN] We dance [ALL] What else is there to do? [MAN] But plant the seed And pull the weed And chop the cane [TWO WOMEN] And bear the child And bear the load And bear the pain [THREE WOMEN, TWO MEN] ANd as the rich go racing To their own refrain [ALL] 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... [PAPA GE] Two different worlds. Never meant to meet. But if the gods move our feet... [ALL] We dance! We dance! We dance! [MAN (spoken)] Once on this island, there was a terrible storm! [MAN] Many huts washed away! Many peasants drowned by Agwe's angry waters! [WOMAN] But one small girl caught his attention. [LITTLE TI MOUNE] Aaaahh! [MAN (Agwe)] And she was spared. An orphan, plucked from the flood by Agwe. [WOMAN (Asaka)] Sheltered in a tree by Asaka. [WOMAN (Erzulie)] And sent on a journey by the gods. A journey that would test the strength of love... [MAN (Papa Ge)] Against the power of death... [MAN, WOMAN (Erzulie, Papa Ge)] On this island of two different worlds! [ALL] The story of Ti Moune!
