Calypso RoseAbout
Calypso Rose dedicated this song to her great-grandmother, who sits at the center of her earliest memory:
My great-grandmother was kidnapped, bought and sold and ended up in Tobago. She never went back to [her home of] French Guinea. Every evening, she would sit by the seaside and would always shak...
Back to Africa Lyrics
Sittin' on another man land, I gettin' stupid
Toilin' on another man's land, me mind corrupted
My [?] [?] rests
Wherever it was placed
I will find it, oh ya, I'm going to find it
Because I want to go, I'm beggin' Jah
I want to go but the land too far
Over yonder, where there's many many moons yonder
I want to go back to Africa (want to go)
Toilin' on another man land, I gettin' stupid
Doin' what another man say, me mind corrupted
This jungle that I'm in
I know I cannot win
I'm going to find it, oh yes, I'm going to find it
Because I want to go, and the land too far
I want to go, I'm begging Jah
Over yonder, where there's many many moons yonder
I want to go back to Africa
