SUGAR ISLAND
By Carl Jacobs ft. Roger George

INTRO:
Say wey yuh want, there is not a place on earth better
[Come for a holiday]
Say wey yuh want, I will love mih country forever, yeah

---------------------------- [Help wanted with transcription of these lines]

Island, my sugar island; sweet, sunny islands
My homeland is sweet for so!
Island, my sugar island; sweet precious islands
I would never let you go, no!

Sipping 1919 Angostura [Island sweet for so]
Dahl and roti, try some kuchela [Man, it sweet for so]
Curried wild meat with slight hot pepper [Man, it sweet for so]
Is pure and healthy coconut water. [Lord, it sweet for so]

Come, come for a holiday
Get some sunshine therapy
Melt all ah de stress away
Go forth to a better day
Come, come for a holiday
Play mas, sweet insanity
Jump from J'Ouvert 'til Tuesday
Lord, bless this sweet land, I pray.

Island, my sugar island; sweet, sunny islands
My homeland is sweet for so!
Island, my sugar island; sweet, precious islands
I would never let you go, no!

Come, come for holiday
Take a trip Maracas Bay
Try a bake and shark by Sea
My land cuisine so tasty
Come for a holiday,
Everyday is a blessed day
Island style reality
Man was meant to live this way.

Island, my sugar island; sweet, sunny islands
My homeland is sweet for so!
Island, my sugar island; sweet, precious islands
I would never let you go!

---------------------------- [Help wanted with transcription of these lines]

Doh ever leave this feeling of pride [Island sweet for so]
Yes God's country, that can't be denied [Man, it sweet for so]
Stand firm and free, working side by side [Man, it sweet for so]
------------------------, love will be your guide.

Come, come for holiday
Crusoe say so heavenly
Island food is therapy
Definitely God's country
Come for a holiday,
Bring a friend, yes, it's OK
Take a dip in sweet Store Bay
Wash all yuh troubles away!

Island, my sugar island; sweet, sunny islands
My homeland is sweet for so!
Island, my sugar islands; sweet, precious islands
I would never, never let you go!

Say wey yuh want, there's not a place on earth better
[These islands sweet]
Say wey yuh want, I will love mih country forever
[These islands sweet]
Say wey yuh want, there's not a place on earth better
[These islands sweet]
You could say wey yuh want, I love mih country forever
[These islands sweet]

Come, come for holiday
All ah we is family
My people are so friendly
Check out the Bird Sanctuary
Come for a holiday,
Fly on BWIA
The safest airline they say
Tomorrow is a brighter day.

Island, my sugar island; sweet, sunny islands
My homeland is sweet for so!
Island, my sugar islands; sweet, precious islands
I would never, ever let you go!

Island, my sugar island; sweet, sunny islands
My homeland is sweet for so!
Island, my sugar islands; sweet, precious islands
I would never, ever let you go!

---------------------------- [Help wanted with transcription of these lines]

I will never let you go...
Sweet, islands 'cause I love you so
I would never, ever let you go...
Sweet sunny islands, how I love, love you so!

A Note From The Gull


Sweet fuh so! Thank you Carl Jacobs and Roger George!

"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!
