South Coast of Cuba

On a boat somewhere, near the south coast of Cuba

Navigating the waves, this voodoo child goes sailing

And then with the sun on her back, she is out there

Adrift just for once, pretending she has no caresChorus

Don't wake me yet from this moment

I have one more chance to find it

In the deep we'll go trawling

There'll be bounty we can share

Just let me wander she cried

I can see in the distance

Loa spirits, they'll be our avatarsOn her journey there she'll see lands unfamiliar

Discovering new worlds that once were so far

With no time to meet and the sky her only keeper

Emerging from her slumber seeing stars in a new lightChorus
