<br>

[A STORYTELLER]<br>

And the gods heard her prayer.<br>

<br>

[ASAKA (Spoken)]<br>

The peasant girl wants a grand homme to carry<br>

carry her away!<br>

[sung]<br>

I should...<br>

Find a tree all covered with mangos<br>

Juicy mangos, fat and well-fed<br>

Pick a mango<br>

<br>

[AGWE]<br>

A juicy mango<br>

<br>

[ERZULIE]<br>

A lovely mango<br>

<br>

[PAPA GE]<br>

A poison mango<br>

<br>

[ASAKA]<br>

Drop the mango...<br>

<br>

[ALL]<br>

BOOM!<br>

<br>

[ASAKA]<br>

And knock some sense in her head!<br>

<br>

[ALL GODS]<br>

Knock some sense in her head!<br>

<br>

[AGWE]<br>

Splash her with a wave!<br>

<br>

[PAPA GE]<br>

Scare her half to death!<br>

<br>

[ERZULIE]<br>

Give her what she wants?<br>

<br>

[ASAKA, AGWE, PAPA GE]<br>

Give her what she...?<br>

<br>

[ERZULIE]<br>

give her what she wants<br>

<br>

Love has many powers<br>

If the love is true<br>

<br>

It can cross the earth [To Asaka]<br>

And withstand the storm [To Agwe]<br>

It can conquer even you [To Papa Ge]<br>

<br>

[PAPA GE (Spoken)]<br>

Hah! Love conquer death? Why, I could stop<br>

her heart like that!<br>

<br>

[ERZULIE (Spoken)]<br>

Stop her heart from beating, yes. But not <br>

from loving. Not if love is what she chooses.<br>

<br>

[PAPA GE]<br>

Ridiculous!<br>

<br>

[AGWE]<br>

Interesting!<br>

<br>

[ASAKA]<br>

More amusing than mangos!<br>

<br>

[ALL]<br>

A journey!<br>

<br>

[ERZULIE]<br>

I will give her strength<br>

When the time is right<br>

<br>

[ASAKA]<br>

I will guide her way<br>

<br>

[PAPA GE]<br>

I will make her choose!<br>

<br>

[AGWE]<br>

And I'll provide the place<br>

Where two different worlds<br>

will meet Tonight.<br>

<br>

[ALL]<br>

Tonight!<br>
