<br>
[WOMAN]<br>
There is an island where rivers run deep.<br>
<br>
[MAN]<br>
Where the sea sparkling in the sun earns it<br>
the name Jewel of the Antilles<br>
<br>
[WOMAN]<br>
An island where the poorest of peasants labor.<br>
<br>
[MAN]<br>
And the wealthiest of grands hommes play.<br>
<br>
[MAN]<br>
Two different worlds on on island!<br>
<br>
[WOMAN]<br>
The grands hommes, with their pale brown <br>
skins and their French ways. Owners of the <br>
land and masters of their own fates.<br>
<br>
[MAN]<br>
And the peasants, black as night, eternally at <br>
the mercay of the wind and the sea, who pray <br>
constantly... to the gods.<br>
 <br>
