CAN'T STAY AWAY

By Skhi (2012)

Or hor! Yeah man! Yeah man!
Who lime like we in T&T? Woyyyyyy!

Can't stay away from Trinidad, oh gosh, I can't stay away
From mih land, Trinidad and Tobago
Can't stay away from Trinidad, oh gosh, I can't stay away
From mih land, Trinidad and Tobago!

Trinbago sweet, man, this is a fact
Once tourist come, they want to come back
Nuff people leave home and bound to return
For a good lime, they does really yearn
You tell me man, what you drinking?
We done have a bottle of puncheon
A beer is a Carib or a Stag
And this is the best place to be slack
Friday does start from a Thursday
Almost every month is holiday
No one could party like Trini
And dem woman have such beauty!

Can't stay away from Trinidad, oh gosh, I can't stay away
From mih land, Trinidad and Tobago
Can't stay away from Trinidad, oh gosh, I can't stay away
From mih land, Trinidad and Tobago!

You could get a tabanca for Trini bake and shake
Pelau and phulourie
Maracas Bay is de life
And in Tobago you bound to have a time
You done know St. James always lively
So we heading by Smokey & Bunty
When it come to wine, none could test
And we Carnival is the best!

Can't stay away from Trinidad, oh gosh, I can't stay away
From mih land, Trinidad and Tobago
Can't stay away from Trinidad, oh gosh, I can't stay away
From mih land, Trinidad and Tobago

From de Cannival [Can't stay away]
From dem fetes and dem [Can't stay away]
From Panorama [Can't stay away]
A doubles and coconut water [Can't stay away]

Ey!! Forged from the love of liberty
African, Indian, Syrian, Chinee
Check out we live in unity
Man is a vibes we have in T&T
Kaiso, soca, rapso, chutney
And the pan of course in its glory
Doh care what go on in this country
Trinbagonians always happy!

Can't stay away from Trinidad, oh gosh, I can't stay away
From mih land, Trinidad and Tobago
Can't stay away from Trinidad, oh gosh, I can't stay away
From mih land, Trinidad and Tobago!

All in Tobago [Can't stay away]
Of course in Sando [Can't stay away]
All in Arima [Can't stay away]
From Chaguanas to San Juan [Can't stay away]
By Rick & Mala [Can't stay away]
Drinking hard wine or Monster [Can't stay away]
From Port of Spain, oh gosh! [Can't stay away]
Where the lime again? Uh hmm [Can't stay away]
Carenage and Diego [Can't stay away]
T&T, I love you so! [Can't stay away]
Trinbago, I love you so! [Can't stay away]
T&T I love you so! [Can't stay away]

[Can't stay away, can't stay away]
[Can't stay away, can't stay away]
[Can't stay away, can't stay away]

Oh god, doh care what dey say [Can't stay away]
Trinbago, I love you bad! [Can't stay away]
When I stay 'way, boy, I sad.

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Skhi! Beautiful song and video!

"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!
Guanaguanare
