<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>
