[WOMAN]

Asaka, grow me a garden

[MAN]

Please Agwe, don't flood my garden

[TWO YOUNG WOMEN]

Erzulie, who will my love be?

[ALL]

Papa Ge don't come around me.

[WOMAN (spoken)]

Ah, such powerful, such temperamental gods

rule our island.

[ASAKA]

Asaka, Mother of the Earth.

[AGWE]

Agwe, God of Water.

[ERZULIE]

Erzulie, beautiful Goddess of Love.

[PAPA GE]

And Papa Ge, sly Demon of Death.

[WOMEN]

Asaka, grow me a garden

[MEN]

Please Agwe, don't flood my garden

[WOMEN]

Erzulie, who will my love be?

[ALL]

Papa Ge don't come around me

Please Agwe don't flood my garden

Asaka grow me a garden...

[WOMEN]

We dance

[MEN]

We dance

[ALL]

To the music of the gods

The music of the breezes through

The green plaintain

The murmur of the river and

The roar of rain

And if the Gods decide to

Send a hurricane

[WOMEN]

We dance...

[MEN]

We dance

[ALL]

To their everchanging moods

[WOMAN (ASAKA)]

We know the gods are happy

When the green things grow

[MAN (AGWE)]

They're angry when the river

Starts to overflow

[ALL]

And since we never know

Which way the winds will blow...

[ALL]

We dance to the earth

We dance to the water

The Gods awake and we take no chance

Our hearts hear the song

Our feet move along

And to the music of the Gods

We dance!

[ANDREA (spoken)]

On the other side of the island, safe behind

high walls and iron gates, the grands hommes

dance to a different tune.

[ALL]

La la la la la la la

[DANIEL]

The drink champagne. Entertain tourists at

their fine hotels. And tell their servants,

'Polish up the Mercedes!'

[ALL]

La la la la la la la

[MAN]

Two different worlds

Never meant to meet.

[MAN]

The peasants labor

[WOMAN]

The grands hommes... eat!

[ANDREA AND DANIEL]

How fine

Our clothes are!

[ALL OTHERS]

We dance

[ANDREA AND DANIEL]

How fast

We drive!

[ALL OTHERS]

We dance

[ANDREA AND DANIEL]

We dance at parties...

[ALL]

While we are dancing

Just to stay alive...

[WOMEN]

We dance

[MEN]

We dance

[ALL]

What else is there to do?

[MAN]

But plant the seed

And pull the weed

And chop the cane

[TWO WOMEN]

And bear the child

And bear the load

And bear the pain

[THREE WOMEN, TWO MEN]

ANd as the rich go racing

To their own refrain

[ALL]

We dance to the earth

We dance to the water

The Gods awake and we take no chance

Our hearts hear the song

Our feet move along

And to the music of the Gods

We dance to the earth

We dance to the water

The Gods awake and we take

No chance...

[PAPA GE]

Two different

worlds.

Never meant

to meet.

But if the gods move

our feet...

[ALL]

We dance! We dance! We dance!

[MAN (spoken)]

Once on this island, there was a terrible

storm!

[MAN]

Many huts washed away! Many peasants

drowned by Agwe's angry waters!

[WOMAN]

But one small girl

caught his attention.

[LITTLE TI MOUNE]

Aaaahh!

[MAN (Agwe)]

And she was spared. An orphan, plucked

from the flood by Agwe.

[WOMAN (Asaka)]

Sheltered in a tree by Asaka.

[WOMAN (Erzulie)]

And sent on a journey by the gods. A journey

that would test the strength of love...

[MAN (Papa Ge)]

Against the power of death...

[MAN, WOMAN (Erzulie, Papa Ge)]

On this island of two different worlds!

[ALL]

The story of Ti Moune!
