[STORYTELLERS]

One small girl

In a tree

Torn from her mother

Crying in fright

One small girl

Tossed by sea

And left to face

The stormy night

Once small girl

Holding tight

[STORYTELLERS (Spoken in rhythm)]

At last the storm subsided.

And the morning sun glowed.

And two old peasants

came cautiously

down the road.

[TONTON JULIAN]

Mama Euralie!

[MAMA EURALIE]

Tonton Julian!

[MAMA (spoken)]

Asaka is smiling again, Julian.

[TONTON]

This morning she smiles. Last night she tried

to blow our heads off.

[MAMA]

Ah, Julian, just listen to those birds.

[BIRDS]

Coo coo coo coo coo

Coo coo coo coo coo

[LITTLE TI MOUNE]

Aaaahh!

[TONTON]

What kind of bird is that?

[MAMA]

Look! There!

[MAMA]

One small face

Two small knees

[TONTON]

Why are you up there?

[MAMA]

What is your name?

[MAMA]

The girl can't speak

[TONTON (Gesturing up)]

And they're to blame

Agwe probably meant to kill her

[MAMA (spoken in rhythm)]

The she'd be dead

[TONTON]

It's possible he forgot

[MAMA]

The god's don't forget

[TONTON]

Then they had some reason to spare

Her life

[BOTH]

It's best that we don't know what

One small girl...

Better not.

[TONTON (spoken)]

But we are too old for children

[MAMA]

We have no room, and no food...

[ERZULIE]

And not knowing why, they followed

their hearts back to the tree, gently lifted

the terrified child down...

[LITTLE TI MOUNE]

Noo!!!

[ERZULIE]

And discovered that she could speak after all.

[MEN]

One small girl

[WOMEN]

In the way

[MAMA]

Constantly hungry

[TONTON]

Learning too quick

[ALL (but little Ti Moune)]

One small girl

Hard at play

[TONTON]

She makes me smile

[MAMA]

She scares me sick!

[ERZULIE]

And they scolded and teased

And held her

And mended the clothes she tore

[ALL (but Mama, Tonton and Little Ti Moune)]

And the hut was crowded

And food was scarce

And somehow, their lives held more

One small girl

To live for.

[A STORYTELLER]

They named her Desiree Dieu-Donne or

God-Given Desire. But in their affection, they

simply called her Ti Moune.

[LITTLE TI MOUNE]

What does Ti Moune mean, Mama?

[MAMA]

It means little orphan. Saved by the gods for

something special!

[LITTLE TI MOUNE]

What is it?

[MAMA]

Ti Moune, if we knew why the gods did the

things they do, we would be gods ourselves!

[LITTLE TI MOUNE]

Someday I'm going to ask them, Mama!

[ALL (but Mama, Tonton and Little Ti Moune)]

Sweet as a eucalyptus

And terrible as a tempest

Banging a drun

And humming a tune...

Ti Moune

Falling

And running

And calling

And growing

And growing

And growing

And growing...up too soon...

[TONTON]

One small girl

[MAMA]

Not so small

[TONTON]

Lost in those daydreams

[MAMA]

Day after day

[STROYTELLERS]

Ooh way ooh

[TONTON]

Call her name

[MAMA]

No, don't call

[STROYTELLERS]

Ooh way ooh

[BOTH]

Her ears

Don't hear

She's far away

[TONTON]

And I know that

She's getting older

[MAMA]

I know that it's

Meant to be

[BOTH]

And my arms

Can't hold her

And keep her small

But all that my

Heart can see...

Aaahhh

[MAMA, TONTON]

Is one small

Girl

[MEN]

One small

Girl

[WOMEN]

One small

Girl

[MAMA, TONTON]

One small

Girl

[MEN]

One small

Girl

[WOMEN]

One small

Girl

[MAMA, TONTON]

One small

Girl

[MEN]

One small

Girl

[WOMEN]

[MAMA, TONTON]

In a tree

[ALL]

Ooh, ooh way ooh

Ooh, ooh way ooh...
