Oh, Ti Moune...
[ALL (EXCEPT TI MOUNE)]
Oooh...
[ERZULIE, spoken]
And the gods began to cry tears of compassion for the orphan Ti Moune...
[AGWE, spoken]
Who proved that love could withstand the storm...
[ASAKA, spoken]
And cross the earth...
[PAPA GE, spoken]
And survive even in the face of death
[ALL (EXCEPT TI MOUNE, GODS)]
Erzulie took her by the hand
And led her to the sea
Where Agwe wrapped her in a wave
And laid her to her rest
And Papa Ge was gentle
As he carried her to shore
And Asaka accepted her
And held her to her breast
Held her to her breast
Oh, Ti Moune...
[MAMA, spoken]
And then, the gods blessed her, and transformed her into...
[ALL (EXCEPT TI MOUNE)]
A tree!
