Once on This Island (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
A Part of Us
Oh, Ti Moune
Oh, Ti Moune
You will always be a part of us
Oh, Ti Moune
(Oh, Ti Moune)
Oh, Ti Moune
You will always be a part of us
Oh, Ti Moune
(Oh, Ti Moune)
Oh, Ti Moune
You will always be a part of us
Oh, Ti Moune
And the gods began to cry
Tears of compassion
For the orphan Ti Moune
Who proved that love could withstand the storm
Cross the earth
And survive even in the face of death!
Erzulie took her by the hand
And led her to the sea
Where Agwe wrapped her in a wave
And laid her to her rest
And Papa Ge was gentle
As he carried her to shore
And Asaka accepted her
And held her to her breast
Held her to her breast
Oh, Ti Moune
And then the gods blessed her
And transformed her into
A tree!
Oh, Ti Moune
You will always be a part of us
Oh, Ti Moune
(Oh, Ti Moune)
Oh, Ti Moune
You will always be a part of us
Oh, Ti Moune
(Oh, Ti Moune)
Oh, Ti Moune
You will always be a part of us
Oh, Ti Moune
And the gods began to cry
Tears of compassion
For the orphan Ti Moune
Who proved that love could withstand the storm
Cross the earth
And survive even in the face of death!
Erzulie took her by the hand
And led her to the sea
Where Agwe wrapped her in a wave
And laid her to her rest
And Papa Ge was gentle
As he carried her to shore
And Asaka accepted her
And held her to her breast
Held her to her breast
Oh, Ti Moune
And then the gods blessed her
And transformed her into
A tree!
