[STORYTELLER (women), spoken]
Our story begins on the night of a flood...

[AGWE, spoken]
But one small girl was spared and of it plucked from the flood by Agwe

[ASAKA, spoken]
Sheltered in a tree by Asaka

[ERZULIE, spoken]
And sent on a journey by the Gods, a journey that will test the strength of love

[PAPA GE, spoken]
Against the power of death!

[ALL GODS, spoken]
On this island of two different worlds... the story of Ti Moune

[ASAKA, spoken]
Ti Moune darling, Mama's going sing

Huh!

[ASAKA]
Walk with me, little girl
Don’t you be afraid
Follow me, little girl
Let me be your guide
Oh...a pretty thing like you will need a thing or two
And whatever you need
Mama will provide
Oh...


Down the road, little girl
You may lose your way
All alone in a world
That may seem too wide
But sit on mama’s lap
And I will draw a map
And whatever you need
Mama will provide!

I’ll provide you:

[ANDREA]

[ASAKA]
To soften the road!

[WOMAN 2]
Rocks!

[ASAKA]
To sit on!

[MAN 1]
Trees!

[ASAKA]
To sleep underneath!

[MAN 2]
Sand!

[ASAKA]
Fun for your toes!

[ASAKA]
To fill up your belly!

My Daniel!

That’s what a mama’s worth
To give her child the earth
And whatever
You need, mama will...
