BACK TO MI HOME
By King Selewa & His Calypsonians

Refrain:
Back to mi home, oh my west-indian home
Back to my friends, aye Mama, take my hand
Take me, take me, take me to Los Iros
Oh blow wind, blow, cos' I'm so sad you know

Well, ah travelled east and ah travelled west
To places nowherians call de best
Africa, Europe and Canada
South America and even Russia
New Zealand, England or Italy
Good gracious, ah miss my TnT.

Too many trains and too many planes
Took me away, dey drove me insane!
Bad people dey tried to poison me
Dem used obeah and simidimi
Look, here I am, no dey could not kill me
Mi heart belong to de land of an Iere!

Refrain:
Back to mi home, oh my west-indian home
Back to my friends, aye Mama, take my hand
Take me, take me, take me to Los Iros
Oh blow wind, blow, cos' I'm so sad you know.

Ah mus' confess dat dere is no place
Like mi bungalow in de west indies
Ah wish I'd spend mi very last years
Here wid a cool glass of Vat 19
Watchin' mi dawta Joséphine
Playin' "Uncle Joe" on she violin!

Refrain:
Back to mi home, oh mi west-indian home
Back to my friends, aye Mama, take my hand
Take me, take me, take me to Los Iros
Oh blow wind, blow, cos' I'm so sad you know

Aye likkle mama baba tunde mama!
Aye likkle mama baba tunde mama!
Aye likkle mama baba tunde mama!
Aye likkle mama baba tunde mama!
Aye likkle mama baba tunde mama!
Aye likkle mama baba tunde mama!
Aye likkle mama baba tunde mama!
Aye likkle mama baba tunde mama!

Refrain:
Back to mi home
Back to mi home, oh my west-indian home
Back to my friends, aye Mama, take my hand
Take me, take me, take me to Los Iros
Oh blow wind, blow, cos' I'm so sad you know
Back to mi home, oh my west-indian home
Back to my friends, aye Mama, take my hand
Take me, take me, take me to Los Iros
Oh blow wind, blow, cos' I'm so sad you know
Back to mi home.

A Note From The Gull


Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! Thank you, King Selewa!

"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!
