MOTHER TRINBAGO
By Rikki Jai [2012]

Trinbago, oh how I love you with every beat of my heart
Trinbago, oh how I need you, together we'll never part
Trinbago, oh how I love you.

I salute you lady, for creating history
I must welcome you, her majesty
All the way from Siparia, an independent lady
Happy Anniversary T&T
I glad for my country, independent is we
Man, woman, boy and girl we free
-------------, enjoy the fifty years
Freedom for we country, freedom for unity,
Freedom from slavery, freedom everybody
Put up your rag now, put up your flag now
Put up your rag now, put up your flag now
Everybody in the country, time to celebrate.

Mother Trinbago, Mother Trinbago, Mother Trinbago, I love you so
Mother Trinbago, Mother Trinbago, I will never, never let you go.

Independence again, leh we rise up and ring Jubilee in our country
Yes, we celebrating, happy times we having
Let's proclaim and live happily.

Mother Trinbago, Mother Trinbago, Mother Trinbago, I love you so
Mother Trinbago, Mother Trinbago, I will never, never let you go.

The French and the Spanish, America and British
There were once here in we colony
But the late Doctor Willy get Independence for we
So we could control we destiny
No more Mother India or Mother Africa
Lebanon, Syria or China
Together we aspire, together we achieve
Freedom for we country, freedom for unity
Freedom from slavery, freedom everybody
Put up your rag now, put up your flag now
Put up your rag now, put up your flag now
Everybody in the country, time to celebrate.

Mother Trinbago, Mother Trinbago, Mother Trinbago, I love you so
Mother Trinbago, Mother Trinbago, I will never, never let you go.

Independence again, leh we rise up and ring Jubilee in our country
Yes, we celebrating, happy times we having
Let's proclaim and live happily.

Mother Trinbago, Mother Trinbago, Mother Trinbago, I love you so
Mother Trinbago, Mother Trinbago, I will never, never let you go.

This the time for Jubilee, this is the time for Jubilee
National colours in the sky, national colours in the sky
This the time for Jubilee, this is the time for Jubilee
National colours in the sky, national colours in the sky.

Put up your rag now, put up your flag now
Put up your rag now, put up your flag now
Everybody in the country, time to celebrate.

Land of the humming bird, "freedom" - that is the word
Reflection time in our country
Free from physical slavery, now let's get free mentally
Respect each others equality
Today, our nation's leader is a woman
Treat her with love, care and dignity
Forward Red, White and Black, yes, we on the right track
Freedom - woman power, freedom - a bright future
Freedom in parliament, freedom is government.

Put up your rag now, put up your flag now
Put up your rag now, put up your flag now
Everybody in the country, time to celebrate.

Mother Trinbago, Mother Trinbago
Mother Trinbago, Mother Trinbago
Mother Trinbago, Mother Trinbago
Mother Trinbago, Mother Trinbago.

A Note From The Gull

Wonderful powerful rhythm and positive vibe. Thank you, Rikki Jai! I love this song.

"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!
