[A STORYTELLER]

And the gods heard her prayer.

[ASAKA (Spoken)]

The peasant girl wants a grand homme to carry

carry her away!

[sung]

I should...

Find a tree all covered with mangos

Juicy mangos, fat and well-fed

Pick a mango

[AGWE]

A juicy mango

[ERZULIE]

A lovely mango

[PAPA GE]

A poison mango

[ASAKA]

Drop the mango...

[ALL]

BOOM!

[ASAKA]

And knock some sense in her head!

[ALL GODS]

Knock some sense in her head!

[AGWE]

Splash her with a wave!

[PAPA GE]

Scare her half to death!

[ERZULIE]

Give her what she wants?

[ASAKA, AGWE, PAPA GE]

Give her what she...?

[ERZULIE]

give her what she wants

Love has many powers

If the love is true

It can cross the earth [To Asaka]

And withstand the storm [To Agwe]

It can conquer even you [To Papa Ge]

[PAPA GE (Spoken)]

Hah! Love conquer death? Why, I could stop

her heart like that!

[ERZULIE (Spoken)]

Stop her heart from beating, yes. But not

from loving. Not if love is what she chooses.

[PAPA GE]

Ridiculous!

[AGWE]

Interesting!

[ASAKA]

More amusing than mangos!

[ALL]

Hmmm...

No.

Hmmm...

A journey!

[ERZULIE]

I will give her strength

When the time is right

[ASAKA]

I will guide her way

[PAPA GE]

I will make her choose!

[AGWE]

And I'll provide the place

Where two different worlds

will meet Tonight.

[ALL]

Tonight!
