Souvenirs de Trinidad

 


Trinidad est une île des Caraïbes située au large du Venezuela et de l'embouchure de l’Orénoque qui constitua, avec Tobago, un État du Commonwealth en 1962.
















Lord Kitchener, le chanteur de calypso de Trinidad dont le disque "Sixty-seven" avait été le grand succès du carnaval de l'année 1967.



Tina why you sleeping, this is J'Ouvert morning (x2)
Girl ah really think you making fun
Can't you hear the band passing 'round
Everybody jumping in the fete & you hugging the coverlet
If you want to lie down & roll in your nightgown
Girl I've got no time wirh you
When You miss me ah jumping too.

Sixty Seven is the season
Every man in the band will be hugging up their girl
They romancing while they jumping
This is real bacchanal, sixty-seven Carnival

I hearing ah ding ding, it sound like a ping pong
Ah getting the shiver, the Carnival fever
Macomere you hear ah want to go
Why yuh push me round ?
Suddenly ah never see a thing like that,
now ah don't know where to find me alphagat 
Get up you're too lazy, you're driving me crazy
Darling you don't understand,
ah (I) don't want to miss the band


En souvenir d'un inoubliable séjour à Port-of-Spain en 1967...
