I made a charm to cast a spell on the man, 
I reconsidered, it was not a good thing 
I took the charm and threw it in the sea 
If you love me, you’ll follow me.

Depuis deux jou la pluie qu'a mouillé moin
Par pitié, par humanité, ouvé la porte ba moin, Ey!

Knock, knock, knock, knock! Who’s knocking at my door? 
It’s me, love, it’s me sweetest sweet bread, 
For two days the rain has soaked me down, 
For pity, for humanity, open the door for me.

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, La Compagnie Créole. The Wikipedia entry for this lovely song describes it as a folk song from Guadeloupe. I have also heard this being sung in Trinidad although I never remembered anything more than the chorus.

"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
