We're back for season 2! We thought we would have been able to go back to Haiti before this so we put a hold on our podcast thinking it would be disrupted if we were to go back but we're still waiting with hope! For more info about the music in the other sections of the podcast go to the episode "Ground Zero" but still a shout out to Mona Augustin and our 2 Roots band as well as "Chouk Libète". Peace and blessings to all!
Here are the lyrics and the link to the awesome little reggae song by a dear friend who came to visit us in Haiti so he came to know us and our home where we actually do have a fire that we use to cook on!
Lyrics
Old man Ron with his locks so long
Inna the world, he stand up strong - strong-willed
Carla by his side with her sweet, sweet tone
Humming songs to make their house a home
Everyday, she shines her love, oh yes
[Refrain]
Ron, he's rough inna this town
Lion soup on the stove a-simmer low
Carla’s love, it make the hard man glow
With his dreadlocks swayin’ he ain’t movin’ fast
But with his Carla by him, their love's built to last
[Verse 2]
'Round the fire, Carla plays her strings
Songs of love, of life, of all simple things
Past the fields where the wild irie blows
Through the trials, their love only grows - grows strong
Old man Ron with his heart on his sleeve
Finds his calm in the tunes Carla weaves
Inside, their spirits, they soar, endless bliss
[Refrain]
Ron swears he's a warrior, tough as the stone
He's like the oak and she's the gentle breeze
Carla’s care, it puts his mind at ease - ease his rage
Smooth as the sea, her melody flows
In the kitchen, where that lion soup's in rows
[Rhythmic Bridge]
Ron may be stern, but he's her anchor, her charm
In Carla's arms, there's no need for alarm
