To the Windward Isles

It comes today

The wind of change blows this way

Blows this way

In Sante Domingo and elsewhere
To slaves of sugar and despair

Silver, sugar, indigo
Silver, sugar, indigo
Silver, sugar, indigo
Silver, sugar, indigo
Silver, sugar, indigo
Silver, sugar, indigo
Silver, sugar, indigo
Silver, sugar, indigo
Make even the wisest man "idiot!"
Make even the wisest man "idiot!"

Bring freedom to the

Colonies
Act on principle

Equality, fraternity and

Liberty

Are

Not just words after all

But

Sugar is sweet

And

Coffee is strong
Hope goes down with the sun

And

The sun goes down behind

Mountains of silver
Valleys of sugar
And shiploads of indigo
Make even the wisest man "idiot!"

Make even the wisest man "idiot!"

So come ye ships
Across the sea
Let's case into the deep
This shame and misery
In Paris they condemn our rage
Condorcet stands his ground and says:

My friends if we believe in freedom
Then we must unlock this cage

Vive Condorcet, hear him scold them,
The frigid reactionary old men
Good God above it's over
Enough is enough
Enough, enough, enough
To the Windward Isles
Revolution has arrived
They will only free us when
They need us to fight for them

Cast into the deep sea
This shame and this misery
Silver, sugar and indigo
Make even the wisest man "idiot!"

Make even the wisest man "idiot!"

"Idiot!"
