| Description |
For the benefit of all our friends and visitors, this translates from Patois to "Showoff Trinbago Showoff"
And showoff His skills is just what our Creator did, when he so richly blessed our islands and gave us a place in these amazingly, achingly beautiful twin isles.
Our adult band this, and every year, will proclaim our praises to these beautiful islands where we live, and we can proudly say that 'God is a Trini' \ time and time again as he blesses us beyond our measure.
Why were the steel pan, calypso, limbo and soca not created elsewhere?
Revel in our lush rain forests which shelter exotic and unique birds, insects and all manner of living things.
Our rainbow people embodied a united nation long before the United Nations was formed, our National Anthem confirming, "where every creed and race find an equal place".
Our warrior spirits found expression in Camboulay, and our souls found tranquility at Buccoo Reef and the Nylon Pool.
We bless the arrival of those hardy and hardworking men and women from India, the delicate grace of their dance and melding of song into Soca Chutney and the robust spirits of the men and women from Africa, who with lion hearts endured and over came their uprooting from their mother country.
Who else but a far seeing creator, with the greatest sense of humour, could provide these verdant islands with a black lake to transform a rough and stony way into one of liquid gold.
Come Xante Trinbago Xante, as we celebrate and reclaim a happy and holy festival, for God is a Trini! |
