Oh Trinidad, isle of
la trinity
Always there, forever
you will be My home,
my heart so free
Away now, I have left
you
How could I know, I
would bid thee adieu
Shall I return, if
only I knew?
Gone are the days of
fun
Under familiar skies
and the bright sun
Here there is none
Oh Trinidad, my soul
aches for you
My life I left and all
that I knew
A hole fills me, it
goes through and through
Shades of color used
to surround me
Carnival brought
insane glee
To both pauper and
bourgeoisie
My land, my people I
see
In my dreams, they are
there for me
With open arms, they
hear my plea
Once I was lost,
Trinidad I found
My navel string
buried, to thee I am bound
Away I may be, but, my
love remains profound
I travel to lands,
both near and far
Our separation I fear
may leave a scar
When I return, your
welcome eases that mar
Together we aspire,
Together we achieve
In these words I do
believe
Why then do I grieve?
Time heals all wounds
I am told
To this promise I
grasp and hold
Till my home before
me, I behold
