Carnival Is Bacchanal [Song]

CARNIVAL IS BACCHANAL
By Lord Caresser

Carnival is a bacchanal
So we don’t care!
It’s a creole fete that we can’t forget, doudou
So we don’t care!
We going to start the amusement in the tent
So we don’t care!
Go with mih bottle and spoon when ah play the tune, doudou
We don’t care!
Caresser ent no millionaire
But we don’t care!
I’m a young creole so brave and bold
So we don’t care!

But when a tambu play, yuh going to hear me say
We don’t care!
Some people say it ent no holiday
But we don’t care!
I going to have mih day, I eh working no wey
Oh we doh care!
Drinking mih rum when I’m feeling numb, doudou
We don’t care!
Tumblin’ down, rollin’ around
Oh we don’t care!
With a shouting here and a fighting there, doudou
We don’t care!

"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!
