Theme:

“Trinbago has so much to offer, yet we treat Carnival time as transitionary when in fact we should celebrate our talent right throughout the year”

Sung by STEVE SEALY 

VERSE 1

Look at how this nation, does go through a transformation

Like de problems just disappear, at this time of year

Cause is party time, and is fete and lime

Rhythm in de street, sound like a ragga soca beat

Well bacchanal, cyar stay out of de Carnival

Ya just bound to see we on the big screen TV

When we jumping in sweet T and T

CHORUS
Celebration happening on the street

Oh gawm, how it sweet

Celebration happening in de yard

Bassman, like he mad

Count ya blessings, come and join dis party, baby

Jump in de band, honey, and put up ya hand, baby

Doh wanna lose it, ya feel de music, go directly to ya brain

Ya feel de passion; ya know de rhythm, go infect ya thru ya veins

Ya still wonder how come, music from an oil drum

Could hypnotize, and mesmerize, all ah we

VERSE 2

When ya see my nation, jumping up in celebration

Like a tension filling de air, as de time draws near

For de Carnival, for de festival

Well open your eyes, ya could see a paradise

We reach a stage, every year we start a new page

Can’t you see that de world want to emulate we

When we jamming in sweet T and T.

CHORUS

We go through de motion, but there is a higher notion

Why is only a one-off affair, think right through de year

‘Bout de calypso, on de radio

Watch de royalty, going out of T and T

Appreciate, dis sincere plea to celebrate

So excuse me for sharing dis philosophy

When we talking ‘bout sweet T and T
