Islands in the sun
Islands in the fun
Verse 1
Welcome, welcome one and all to de land of fete
Trini to bone, trini to de bone
When it come to bacchanal, well they can't beat we yet
Trini to bone, trini to de bone
Look, sweet women parade abundantly
De brendren dey full ah energy
Some people say God is a Trini
Paradise and all convincing me
God gave us a spirit- firey
But nutin in de world dont bother we
But look a smart man gone wid we money
We still come out and mash up de party
Chorus
(Sweet sweet T and T) Oh how I love up dis country
(Sweet sweet T and T) No place in dis world I'd rather be
(Sweet sweet T and T) Oh how I love up meh country
(Sweet sweet T and T) All dis sugar can't be good for me
[sub-chorus]
(Oh oh) Matelot down to Port-A-Spain
(Oh oh) We playin' mas sun or rain
Chorus
Bridge
(rudder chant)
Look ah Trini gyal dey, she breaking away
Tobago gyal, oh what a bacchanal
De men gone wild, de wickedest style
De gyal look back, dey on de attack
De style just change, man re-arrange
De fete gone clear, cause nothing can compare to a Trini rising
Oh no no, nothing can compare to a Trini rising
Verse 3
As crazy as we might seem to be
We still fight to be a family
Indian, African or a Chinee
Serian, French-Creole and Portugese
We vex with a spirit fiery
Some people say God is a Trini
Sweet women parade abundantly
Now de problem is plain to see
Chorus

(Oh oh) Sweetness in abundance everywhere
