TI MOUNE
A stranger in white
In a car
Going somewhere
Going far...
How it must feel to go racing
Wherever you please
Flying as free as a bird
With his tail in the breeze
Even the fish in the sea
Must be longing to fly
Catching a glimpse of a stranger
In white racing by
Oh, Gods
Oh, Gods
Are you there?
What can I do to get you to look down
And give in?
Oh, Gods
Oh, Gods
Hear my prayer
I'm here in the field
With my feet on the ground
And my fate in the air
Waiting for life to begin
PEASANTS
Ooh la ooh la ooh la ooh la
Ooh la ooh la ooh la ooh la
TI MOUNE
Mama's contented and Tonton
Accepts what he gets
PEASANTS
Ooh la ooh la ooh la ooh la
TI MOUNE
Happy for tea in their cups
And no holes in their nets
PEASANTS
Ooh la ooh la ooh la ooh la
TIMOUNE
Happy to have what they have
And to stay where they are
PEASANTS
Ooh la ooh la ooh la ooh la
TI MOUNE
They never even look up
At the sound of a car!
A stranger!
Racing down the beach
Racing to places
I was meant to reach
My stranger
One day you'll arrive
The car will stop
And in I'll hop
And off we'll drive...We'll drive!
Oh, gods
Oh, gods
Please, be there
Don't you remember
Your little Ti Moune from the tree
Wake up!
Look down!
Hear my prayer
Don't single me out
And then forget me...
Oh gods, oh gods
Let me fly
PEASANTS
Oh oh oh
TIMOUNE
Send me to places
No one before me has been
PEASANTS
Ooh la ooh la ooh la
TI MOUNE
You spared my life
Show me why
PEASANTS
Oh oh oh
TI MOUNE
You get me to rise
Like a fish to the bait
And tell me to wait
Well, I'm waiting...
PEASANTS
Waiting
TI MOUNE

Life to
Begin!
