Hi all,
Here's a french song. Patrick Fournerat has written the lyrics and he sings.

https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/caraibes

Here's an approximate translation :

On an old ship
Bound for West
A prohibited cargo
Doen’t care about prevailing winds
Caraïba Bahamas
And Santiago de Cuba
Costa Rica Honduras
And the Panama Canal

Caribbean Caribbean Caribbean Caribbean

Carried by the trade winds
Smugglers from east
A whole sea to cross
Provide supply
Maracaibo Jamaica
Port au Prince and Martinique
Puerto Rico Guadaloupe
Antigua and Dominica

To roam on this skiff
Barely out of the Doldrums
Coasts dotted with reef
Are paltry havens
Montserrat Caracas
Trinidad and Tobago
Barracuda Havana
Curacao Margarita

RD Islands16thsWes^1
RT 3464 Electric Bass
RT 2766 Acoustic Guitar
RT 2772 Charango
RT 3485 Electric Guitar
RT 3522 Steel Drums
RT 2767 Cuatro
Patrick has recorded the Marimba.

Chris, you and Patrick have delivered a spell binding song here.

Love the lyrics, mystical, dangerous, exciting.

The steel drums help to create the perfect backing.

Nice lyric vocal and the Caribbean groove is excellent.

Like VideoTrack said, "Love the lyrics, mystical, dangerous, exciting."

That is a great description that we agree with.

Enjoyed it!

Excellent.
The "prohibited cargo" could be rum, gold or human lives.
I suspect all three.
Excellent melody, an intriguing narrative and very supportive arrangement.


Cheers

Cool breeze in your Caribbean groove, Chris. The steel drums really take me back to many fun times in St. Martin. Very enjoyable song!


Enjoy whatever happens!

Chris (and Patrick),

Wow, that’s a different sound from you, Chris. I’m digging it! Nice vocal sits really cleaning the mix. Great harmonies to boot. Chill song. Great work you two!

My best to you both,

Deej

What a great feel! I love the feel, and the delivery was excellent! There is not one thing that doesn't fit perfectly in this song. Everything is supporting of everything else.

Thanks for sharing this with us!

Took me a minute to catch the vibe on this song, but once I got it I was hooked until the end! That chorus is super catchy and the sprinkling of still drums and (vibes?) throughout kept it super interesting. Superb!

Chris,

Nice Caribbean groove!
And very nice chanson!
It reminds me of Charles Aznavour songs of Carib.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.
