Au-Delá Du Chagrin

Sydney Guillaume (b. 1982) Beyond The Sorrow The night of grief has taken place in our hearts; The languor of our songs imprisoned our hours.

We are the children of the sun asleep; Our soft light was extinguished without a sound.

She was radiant with joy and buoyancy, A bouquet of tenderness she was to us.

From the cradle to the grave, she wore with pride The many hats that life made her.

From the baby bonnet to the crown, She made gifts of her heart and of her entire being.

We mourn her passing as much as her absence, But our lives remain filled with her presence.

We endlessly share her brilliant legacy, Which will inspire us well beyond the ages.

We sing of her light beyond the sorrow; And we thank Heaven with an eternal refrain.

“Well done, good and faithful servant…

Welcome Home.”

Tchaka

Sydney Guillaume (b. 1982) Sean Barnette, Shiloh DeFabi and Sarita Olson-Gustely, percussion

Turn up the fire! We are going to eat tchaka!

Turn up the fire, stir up the corn, don’t forget the salt pork, We are going to eat a delicious tchaka.

We are going to cook up a mind-blowing stew.

At the sound of the three drums, everyone yells out hurray.

If we join together we can all move forward.

Let us enmesh in lovely harmony.

A delicious homemade stew, a musical tchaka.

It’s a delicious homemade stew, a national tchaka, A delicious homemade stew...

Turn up the fire! Turn up the fire! *Yanvalou, Kontredans, Rabòday are amazing.

Roots music, oh yes, that’s good stuff.

Let’s stick together; side by side we can move forward.

Turn up the fire! Turn up the fire! The tchaka is cooking! *Ibo, Bolero, Banda, Mayi, Congo, Petro, Maskaron...

These are the rhythms of our roots.

We danced *Kalinda and we sang Rabòday, Heads together, with love, let us do great things.

Turn up the fire! Turn up the fire!

We proclaimed hope and we sang of peace, So that the light of justice spreads throughout the earth.

We’ll keep on singing...

We’ll keep on singing to make life more beautiful!

In justice and in love, let’s eat a delicious tchaka! Amen!
