Description

Now don’t laugh but… despite the fact that I’m the Trini in our house, every year just after Christmas, it’s my born and bred white British husband who finds all the latest releases for Carnival and blasts soca bass lines throughout the house, playing all the best calypsoes for the kids and I.

This year (2016), he’d been playing this song “Allez Allez” for quite a while but it never really caught on with me. Then one day it was playing in the background and the words just penetrated my mind and stole my focus and I’ve been in love ever since. You just can’t help but feel happy when you’re listening to this chune *grin*

My suggestion to you is that you click here to see the official video of “Allez Allez” by St Lucian, Teddyson John and you can use the lyrics to sing along when you hit repeat because the chances are pretty high that you’re gonna hit repeat!

(PS, these are not the complete lyrics but they should get you started!)

Step forward
Move forward
Step forward
Everybody!

Allez Allez Allez Allez
It’s time to get up and start moving
Allez Allez Allez Allez
Leaving all your problems behind yea
Allez Allez Allez Allez
We pressin’ on to our victory
Allez Allez Allez Allez
Oh Woah Yea!

I woke up this morning
And ah feeling nice!
But the path that I chose
Comes with battles to fight.
As long as I’m living
My future is shaping
And where I am heading
Got no time for problems!

All the weight on yuh shoulder
Dus’ it off!
Put yuh problems behind yuh
Dus’ it off!
If yuh fall down, just get up and
Dus’ it off!
Get yuh head out de dirt and
Dus’ it off!
When they try to Bad-mind yuh
Dus’ it off!
And they talking behind yuh
Dus’ it off!
Doh let nothing bother you
Dus’ it off!
Put yuh hand in the air
And everybody…

Allez Allez Allez Allez
It’s time to get up and start moving
Allez Allez Allez Allez
Leaving all your problems behind yea
Allez Allez Allez Allez
We pressin’ on to our victory
Allez Allez Allez Allez
Oh Woah Yea!
