Select language to translate this lyric
But on this island the earth sings
As soon as the storm ends
And as Ti Moune set out she realized
She was walking with old friends
The birds
Coo coo, coo coo, coo coo coo
Coo coo, coo coo, coo coo coo
Sha, sha, sha-aah
The trees, sha, sha, sha-aah
Ba-oom, boom, boom, the frogs
Ba-oom, boom, boom and the breezes
Ooh, ooh
Ti Moune lost all her fear
She knew Asaka was near
You've never been away from the sea, child
You're gonna need a helping hand
A fish has got to learn to swim on land
Walk with me, little girl, don't you be afraid
Follow me, little girl, let me be your guide
A pretty thing like you will need a thing or two
And whatever you need, mama will provide
Oh, down the road, little girl
You may lose your way
All alone in a world
That may seem too wide
But sit on mama's lap
And I will draw a map
And whatever you need, mama will provide
and whatever you need
Mama will provide
I'll provide you Moss
To soften the road
Rocks to sit on
Trees to sleep underneath
Sand, fun for your toes
Plantain to fill up your belly
Breeze to fan your face
Grass for making your bed
Ha, bug will bite little girl
And the night will fall
All alone in the dark
You'll be terrified
But you will make it through
'Cause I am liking you
And whatever you need, mama will provide
Oh, walk with me, little girl
And I'll take you far
Round each bend, little friend
I'll be by your side
That's what a mama's worth
To give her child the earth
And whatever you need
Mama will provide
