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 nut’in in de world don’t 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

[sub-chorus]

(Oh oh) West Mooring to Locirot

(Oh oh) From Sando to Mayaro

(Oh oh) From Penal to Grand Riviére

(Oh oh) Sweetness in abundance everywhere
