Lyrics
Well, it's very clear she's in love with you
Daniel, if you care
If you care at all
You must tell her-
What is it?
My dear mademoiselle, I have something to say
Something I feel was left unsaid
Many thanks for all you've given Daniel
But do not be misled
My dear mademoiselle, you dance so very well
I pray you'll dance for Daniel and for me
When we are wed
Ti Moune, Daniel and I-
Andrea and I have been promised to each other
Since we were children
This is how things are done, Ti Moune
It's expected
Daniel, please
There will always be a place for you here
We'll race away in a car
I can't change who I am
Or where I'm from
As silver as the moon
I wish it could be so
We will live beside the sea
We'll have children, a garden and a tree
I thought you understood
We could never marry
Oh, gods
Oh, gods
Are you there?
Are you there?
