[00:00:00] My dear mademoiselle I have something to say

[00:00:04] Something I fear was left unsaid

[00:00:07] Many thanks for all you've given daniel

[00:00:11] But do not be misled

[00:00:15] My dear mademoiselle you dance so very well

[00:00:20] I pray you'll dance for daniel

[00:00:24] And for me when we are wed

[00:00:32] Ti moune andrea and I have been promised

[00:00:35] To each other since we were children

[00:00:37] Our parents are old friends

[00:00:40] But daniel this is how things are done

[00:00:42] Ti moune it's expected

[00:00:44] Daniel please we can still be together

[00:00:48] We'll race away in a car

[00:00:51] I can't change who I am or where I'm from

[00:00:55] As silver as the moon

[00:00:58] There will always be a place for you here

[00:01:01] We will live beside the sea

[00:01:05] We'll have children

[00:01:08] A garden and a tree

[00:01:15] Ti moune I thought you understood

[00:01:18] We can never marry

[00:01:24] Oh gods oh gods are you there

[00:01:35] Are you there

[00:01:43] There can never be anything

[00:01:44] Between a peasant and a grand home

[00:01:47] They despise us for our blackness

[00:01:49] Marry you you are mad

[00:01:50] You're not supposed to be in here

[00:01:52] Now what can he want

[00:01:53] With a woman like that

[00:01:54] If he lives how angry the gods will be

[00:01:55] The boy has the will of the devil himself

[00:01:57] He'll soon throw her out

[00:01:58] What can a peasant do for a grand home

[00:02:00] But shine his shoes

[00:02:01] He will not want you ti moune

[00:02:02] Blacker than coal and low as dirt

[00:02:04] I can tell you this

[00:02:05] They'll never stand before a priest

[00:02:06] Some girls you marry some you love

[00:02:07] Oh ti moune what has this boy done to you

[00:02:09] The girl will have the gods to repay

[00:02:11] The gods to repay the gods to repay
