Sunrise on Grand Baie

[Intro] Sunrise paints the shore of Grand Baie, calm and bright Palm shadows sway as drums begin to light the night [Verse 1] Puthandu dawns on Mauritian sands, a tapestry of sound Tamil drums meet ravanne fire, love and courage all around Creole smiles mingle with Tamil tongue, a chorus in the breeze We dance along Mont Choisy, hearts as wide as seas [Pre-Chorus] From the river of Chola and the island of spice, We bridge two worlds with laughter, warm and wise [Chorus] We celebrate life without fear, we rise and sing as one United in diversity, under the tropical sun Hands clap, feet spin, in a circle spun of light Dancing till dawn brings morning, shining bold and bright [Verse 2] Sun-kissed laughter echoes, tabla rhythms meet ravanne beat Feet move in colors of joy on soft Mauritius heat Smiles bloom like hibiscus, in every shade and tone Tamil and Creole stories woven, every heartbeat known [Pre-Chorus] Courage is the rhythm that guides our shared map Honoring ancestors while embracing the now we unwrap [Chorus] We celebrate life without fear, we rise and sing as one United in diversity, under the tropical sun Hands clap, feet spin, in a circle spun of light Dancing till dawn brings morning, shining bold and bright [Bridge] Sunrise to morning, a blended chorus grows Grand Baie to Mont Choisy, the same wind blows We carry each other’s dances, we lift each other’s gaze In every step we write our future, in every smile we praise [Chorus] We celebrate life without fear, we rise and sing as one United in diversity, under the tropical sun Hands clap, feet spin, in a circle spun of light Dancing till dawn brings morning, shining bold and bright [Outro] A soft refrain of blended culture, a united heart in bloom Two cultures, one rhythm, together we resume
