O Dominica
by The Siffleur Montagne Chorale
on Island Magic: Folk Songs of Dominica (1971)
O Dominica
The land of beauty
The land of verdant
And glorious sunshine
Your hills and rivers
Are viewed with envy
By those who stay here
Even for a while
[Chorus]
Hear us O land
So green and beautiful
As we sing
Of your agouti, Sisserou
And manicou
Of your mountains, valleys, rivers—
Flowers, too)
Of your birds and crapaud,
Palm trees in the sand
O yes, it is certain
You're a happy land
O yes, it is certain
You're a happy land
Land of the orange
Grapefruit and mango
Land of banana
The lime and cocoa
You have such flowers
Such leafy bowers
You can be certain
That's a happy land
[Chorus]
So bring your parents,
Your sons and daughters
For a vacation
In Dominica
And we assure you
When you return home
You'll say, "O yes, sir!
That's a happy land"
[Chorus]
O yes, it is certain
You're a happy land
O yes, it is certain!
