[PEASANTS (Varoius solos)]<br>
He roared down the road<br>
Like the devil himself<br>
Going to fast around the curves<br>
Sent us scrambling off the raod<br>
Like chickens<br>
<br>
[ALL]<br>
He has what he deserves!<br>
<br>
[PEASANTS (Solos)]<br>
Papa Ge wants him<br>
And Papa Ge will have him<br>
The boy is dying before our eyes!<br>
Help him!<br>
Hide him!<br>
<br>
[TONTON]<br>
No, don't touch him!<br>
Better leave him where he lies<br>
Even a wealthy man<br>
Sometimes dies<br>
<br>
[TI MOUNE]<br>
Please!<br>
He needs help!<br>
<br>
[TONTON]<br>
If this boy dies in our hands,<br>
the rich will send police!<br>
<br>
[TI MOUNE]<br>
He needs care!<br>
<br>
[MAMA]<br>
And if he lives, oh how angry<br>
the god will be!<br>
<br>
[TWO PEASANTS]<br>
The only thing that will save<br>
The boy's life<br>
Is to send him back to his world!<br>
<br>
[TI MOUNE]<br>
The only thing that will save the boy's life is<br>
me! Please, Tonton!<br>
<br>
[TONTON]<br>
I will find where he comes from<br>
<br>
[MAMA]<br>
Julian! No!<br>
<br>
[TONTON]<br>
I will find who he is, and soon!<br>
But till I return,<br>
You care for him, Ti Moune.<br>
<br>
[PEASANTS]<br>
And her long vigil began.<br>
One day gone by.<br>
And two days gone by.<br>
<br>
[PEASANTS (Solos)]<br>
The boy has the will <br>
Of the devil himself<br>
Clinging to life by one small thread<br>
If it hadn't been for Julian's daughter<br>
<br>
[ALL PEASANTS]<br>
He'd certainly be dead<br>
<br>
[PEASANTS]<br>
Look how she bathes him<br>
And touches and prtects him<br>
She binds his wounds<br>
And she rubs his chest<br>
<br>
[ALL PEASANTS]<br>
It's as if the girl's possessed!<br>
<br>
[MAMA]<br>
You need food<br>
You need sleep<br>
You just can't <br>
Go on without<br>
Any sleep<br>
[TI MOUNE]<br>
Mama, ssshh.<br>
[MAMA]<br>
Have some tea<br>
Have a rest<br>
[TI MOUNE]<br>
His skin is hot<br>
He needs me here<br>
<br>
[BOTH]<br>
Can't you see <br>
How mush this matters to me<br>
I know what's best<br>
<br>
[MAMA, PEASANTS]<br>
Now the sky is growing dim<br>
And the clouds are racing by<br>
And the gods are looking down<br>
At a boy they meant to die<br>
And a girl who placed herself <br>
In their way<br>
Pray!<br>
Pray!<br>
<br>
[PEASANTS]<br>
Three days gone by.<br>
And four days gone by.<br>
<br>
I fear for the girl and her mother<br>
As well<br>
Nothing but trouble looms ahead<br>
Monsieur Julian could be deep<br>
In danger<br>
<br>
[ALL]<br>
Arrested, lost or dead<br>
<br>
[TONTON]<br>
Oh, Asaka, Mother of the earth<br>
Guide the feet<br>
Of this poor peasant man<br>
Hear my prayer<br>
Which way there?<br>
And which way home?<br>
<br>
[TI MOUNE]<br>
I need herbs<br>
[MAMA]<br>
Your father <br>
Gone,<br>
[TI MOUNE]<br>
Mama, herbs<br>
[MAMA]<br>
And you don't <br>
Care<br>
Oh, my god, what<br>
Has this boy <br>
Done to you?<br>
[TI MOUNE]<br>
Mama, ssshh.<br>
He needs rest<br>
He needs care<br>
[MAMA]<br>
Your Tonton lost<br>
Because of you<br>
<br>
[BOTH]<br>
Can't you see<br>
That he's in terrible danger<br>
What must I do!<br>
<br>
[MAMA, PEASANTS]<br>
Now the sky is turning dark<br>
And the wind is turning chill<br>
And the gods are out for blood<br>
They've been cheated of their kill<br>
By a girl without the sense to obey<br>
Pray!<br>
Pray!<br>
<br>
[MAMA]<br>
Julian!<br>
Where is my Julian?<br>
Bring my Julian home!<br>
<br>
[GUARD]<br>
You want what?<br>
<br>
[TONTON]<br>
I've come so far and I need...<br>
<br>
[GUARD]<br>
Get back!<br>
<br>
[TONTON]<br>
I have some news for Monsieur...<br>
<br>
[GUARD]<br>
Get back!<br>
<br>
[TONTON]<br>
Monsieur Beauxhomme has a...<br>
<br>
[GUARD]<br>
Peasant pig!<br>
<br>
[TONTON]<br>
Please, I beg...<br>
<br>
[GUARD]<br>
You must be mad!<br>
<br>
[TONTON]<br>
I must see Monsieur...<br>
<br>
[GUARD]<br>
Monsieur Beauchomme!<br>
<br>
[TONTON]<br>
I have come so far<br>
<br>
[GUARD]<br>
So far to die<br>
<br>
[TONTON]<br>
I have found his son!<br>
<br>
[MAMA, PEASANTS]<br>
Now the sky has turned to black<br>
And the wind is like a knife<br>
Pape Ge is coming back<br>
For the boy who clings to life<br>
And the girl will have the gods <br>
To repay<br>
<br>
[MAMA, SOME PEASANTS]<br>
Pray!<br>
[PEASANTS]<br>
Papa Ge, Don't <br>
Come around me<br>
[MAMA, SOME PEASANTS]<br>
Pray!<br>
[PEASANTS]<br>
Papa Ge, Don't <br>
Come around me<br>
[MAMA, SOME PEASANTS]<br>
Pray!<br>
[PEASANTS]<br>
Papa Ge, Don't <br>
Come around me<br>
[MAMA, SOME PEASANTS]<br>
Pray!<br>
[PEASANTS]<br>
Papa Ge, Don't <br>
Come around me<br>
[MAMA, SOME PEASANTS]<br>
Pray!<br>
[PEASANTS]<br>
Papa Ge, Don't <br>
Come around me<br>
Don't come<br>
Around me <br>
Don't come<br>
Around me<br>
<br>
[ALL]<br>
Pray!!!<br>
<br>
