[00:00:08] Once on this there was terrible storm

[00:00:11] Many huts washed away

[00:00:13] Many peasants drowned by Agwe's angry waters

[00:00:17] But one small girl caught his attention

[00:00:23] And she was spared

[00:00:24] An orphan plucked from the flood by Agwe

[00:00:27] Sheltered in a tree by Asaka

[00:00:30] And sent on a journey by the gods

[00:00:33] A journey that would test the strength of love

[00:00:36] Against the power of death

[00:00:38] On this island of two different worlds

[00:00:48] One small girl

[00:00:51] In a tree

[00:00:54] Torn from her mother

[00:00:56] Crying in fright

[00:00:58] One small girl

[00:01:01] Tossed by sea

[00:01:03] And left to face

[00:01:05] The stormy night

[00:01:08] Once small girl

[00:01:13] Holding tight

[00:01:18] At last the storm subsided

[00:01:23] And the morning sun glowed

[00:01:27] And two old peasants

[00:01:32] Came cautiously

[00:01:34] Down the road

[00:01:37] Mama euralie

[00:01:40] Tonton julian

[00:01:43] Asaka is smiling again julian

[00:01:46] This morning she smiles last night she tried

[00:01:50] To blow our heads off

[00:01:51] Ah julian just listen to the birds

[00:01:54] Coo coo coo coo coo

[00:01:56] Coo coo coo coo coo

[00:02:01] Aaaahh

[00:02:03] What kind of bird is that

[00:02:06] Look there

[00:02:08] One small face

[00:02:10] Two small knees

[00:02:13] Why are you up there

[00:02:15] What is your name

[00:02:22] The girl can't speak

[00:02:25] And they're to blame

[00:02:27] Agwe probably meant to kill her

[00:02:30] The she'd be dead

[00:02:32] It's possible he forgot

[00:02:35] The god's don't forget

[00:02:37] Then they had some reason to spare her life

[00:02:41] It's best that we don't know what

[00:02:49] One small girl

[00:02:54] Better not

[00:03:00] But we are too old for children

[00:03:04] We have no room and no food

[00:03:09] And not knowing why they followed

[00:03:11] Their hearts back to the tree gently lifted

[00:03:14] The terrified child down

[00:03:15] Nooo

[00:03:17] And discovered that she could speak after all

[00:03:21] One small girl

[00:03:23] In the way

[00:03:25] Constantly hungry

[00:03:28] Learning too quick

[00:03:30] One small girl

[00:03:33] Hard at play

[00:03:35] She makes me smile

[00:03:37] She scares me sick

[00:03:40] And they scolded and teased

[00:03:41] And held her

[00:03:44] And mended the clothes she tore

[00:03:48] And the hut was crowded

[00:03:51] And food was scarce

[00:03:54] And somehow their lives held more

[00:04:01] One small girl

[00:04:05] To live for

[00:04:08] They named her desiree dieu-donne or

[00:04:11] God given desire but in their affection they

[00:04:14] Simply called her ti moune

[00:04:15] What does ti moune mean mama

[00:04:17] It means little orphan saved by the gods for

[00:04:20] Something special

[00:04:21] What is it

[00:04:22] Ti moune if we knew why the gods did the

[00:04:25] Things they do we would be gods ourselves

[00:04:28] Someday I'm going to ask them mama

[00:04:31] Sweet as a eucalyptus

[00:04:32] And terrible as a tempest

[00:04:35] Banging a drum

[00:04:36] And humming a tune

[00:04:40] Ti moune

[00:04:41] Falling

[00:04:42] And running

[00:04:43] And calling

[00:04:45] And growing

[00:04:46] And growing

[00:04:47] And growing

[00:04:48] And growing

[00:04:50] Up too soon

[00:04:55] One small girl

[00:04:58] Not so small

[00:05:00] Lost in those daydreams

[00:05:02] Day after day

[00:05:05] Call her name

[00:05:07] No don't call

[00:05:09] Her ears

[00:05:10] Don't hear

[00:05:12] She's far away

[00:05:14] And I know that

[00:05:15] She's getting older

[00:05:19] I know that it's

[00:05:20] Meant to be

[00:05:23] And my arms

[00:05:25] Can't hold her

[00:05:26] And keep her small

[00:05:28] But all that my

[00:05:30] Heart can see

[00:05:36] Is one small girl

[00:05:38] One small girl

[00:05:39] One small girl

[00:05:41] One small girl

[00:05:43] One small girl

[00:05:44] One small girl

[00:05:46] One small girl

[00:05:56] In

[00:06:05] Ooh ooh way ooh
