‘Alamoulou’ means rainbow
In the Carib tongue
That is why my calypso spans a spectrum of verse and song
I sing of love and war, of sorrow and laughter and I sing for fun
And if I mainly treat of these islands
It’s cause I love the Caribbean
But I leave the talk of sleaze and of personalities To other kaisonians
And if I seem to seize on human weaknesses My real theme is of Redemption”
(from ‘I don’t care, but I care’ – (1999))
