(Sweet Voices Riddim)

My land, my land, my land, my land….

Back to the stomach of my land [Please take me back Caribbean]
Back to the bosom of my soul [Please take me back Caribbean]
Back to the place where I was born [Please take me back Caribbean]
Where my navel string will carry on [Please take me back Caribbean]

Back to the place where I call home
Back to where we are free to roam
Where you could be with family
Uncle, Aunty, Granny and Pappy
Any hour you could lime
Kick back and have a real good time
Hear de rooster in yuh head
In de oven Gramma makin’ bread.

Running around de Savannah
Drinking coconut water
Snow cone in any flavour
Cyah ask for nothing better
On de beach where fresh breeze blow
Crystal waters down below
Please don’t think that this is all
Come -------

My land, my land, my land, my land….

Back to the stomach of my land [Please take me back Caribbean]
Back to the bosom of my soul [Please take me back Caribbean]
Back to the place where I was born [Please take me back Caribbean]
Where my navel string will carry on [Please take me back Caribbean]

Back to the home of my steelband
Back to the birth of the oil drum
Back to where pan is royalty
The symbol of my country
Where we salute calypsonian
For sharing the news of the nation
And doh talk 'bout comedy
Like mangoes, down here we have plenty.

Songs of David Rudder
Remembering Lord Kitchener
The spirit of Andre Tanker
Will be with us forever
Steelband, mas, calypso
Is down here in Trinbago
Please don’t think that these are lies
My island is paradise.

My land, my land, my land, my land…

Back to the stomach of my land [Please take me back Caribbean]
Back to the bosom of my soul [Please take me back Caribbean]
Back to the place where I was born [Please take me back Caribbean]
Where my navel string will carry on [Please take me back Caribbean]
Back to the stomach of my land [Please take me back Caribbean]
Back to the bosom of my soul [Please take me back Caribbean]
Back to the place where I was born [Please take me back Caribbean]
Where my navel string will carry on [Please take me back Caribbean]

My land…sweet home…my land

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
