intertwined cultures - last nubian lyrics

[verse 1]
we look forward to it, we plan it
we champion and celebrate it
we let our hair down and misbehave
we throw caution to the wind
relax that stiff upper lip
enjoy the music and shake up our hips
west london streets harbour people of all nations
together with joy pourin’ out
i watch cultures marinate, cultivate, and assimilate
on this day, in humanity i have faith
a sense of pride, colours brighten up the sky
clouds threaten rain but that can’t break our day
the revellers dance like no tomorrow, basslines rip through speakers hollow
familiar faces, passionate embraces, i feel brave today
mobile phone exchanges, we see aunties and uncles from communites far and wide
“how yuh grow big suh?” dem ask and tease
small talk and pleasantries, and then we move

[refrain 1]
and then we move
move on, move on, move on, move on
move on, move on, move on, move on
and then we move
move on, move on, move on, move on
move on, move on, move on, move on
and then we move
[verse 2]
i see a fine young lady dancin’ to a smooth song
i catch her eye and make my move
courage is there, mi ‘fraid fi lose
i reveal my t**th with a smile and ask her name
and by the time i look ’round, our bodies locked in an embrace
i feel alive, spirit ragin’
express my likkle rhythm on the pavements
we dance and carry on, fun, rum, and bun, spice, mi a talk
my country’s flag on my chest, with pride, mi a walk
two days of intertwined cultures
a thousand stories, the sounds tell me
of thousand watt smiles plastered on faces
the colour and the loud clothing give me a clue
you see, this is our time, oh, carnival, how i love you

[refrain 2]
my country’s flag on my chest, with pride, mi a walk
two days of intertwined cultures
my country’s flag on my chest, with pride, mi a walk
two days of intertwined cultures
with pride, mi a walk
two days of intertwined cultures
