carnival lyrics

Tweet

"We got de base to tear it up and make people jump, we got d vibe to lift it up and do what we want, hold on de pace and keep it up and doh make it drop, cause when we start, we goin' long like we doh wah stop, oh!" This is from the song that won the National Road March competition in Trinidad, i.e. was the most-played for mas bands to cross the stage for judging. I just love it! The lyrics are purely about the pleasure of carnival, and the rhythm/beat of the song is really energising and impels you to move! Another great one from Faye-Ann Lyons. She really knows how to write (and perform!) spectacular carnival soca lyrics! Want to see the rest of the lyrics?
