On a boat somewhere, near the south coast of Cuba Navigating the waves, this voodoo child goes sailing And then with the sun on her back, she is out there Adrift just for once, pretending she has no cares Chorus Don't wake me yet from this moment I have one more chance to find it In the deep we'll go trawling There'll be bounty we can share Just let me wander she cried I can see in the distance Loa spirits, they'll be our avatars On her journey there she'll see lands unfamiliar Discovering new worlds that once were so far With no time to meet and the sky her only keeper Emerging from her slumber seeing stars in a new light Chorus
