Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh, islands where the sun meets the sea,
Come join the rhythm, feel the jubilee!
[Verse 1]
Antigua and Barbuda, where two islands greet,
Emerald waters lapping at their feet.
In the Caribbean, a tropical embrace,
Nature's beauty, let your heart race.
[Pre-Chorus]
From St. John's bustling streets,
To the quiet Barbuda retreats.
[Chorus]
Antigua, Barbuda, islands in the sunlight,
Warm hearted people, colors bright.
Feel the calypso, feel the sway,
Oh, the twin islands light the way!
[Verse 2]
Cricket cheers at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium,
Waves crashing, a natural vibranium.
Sugarcane fields from days of old,
Stories of freedom in tales retold.
[Pre-Chorus]
The beach is your stage, watch the sun set,
A paradise you’ll never forget.
[Chorus]
Antigua, Barbuda, islands in the sunlight,
Warm hearted people, colors bright.
Feel the calypso, feel the sway,
Oh, the twin islands light the way!
[Bridge]
Languages dance, English the song,
From African roots, the culture is strong.
Festival rhythms fill the night air,
Carnival vibes, joy everywhere.
[Final Chorus]
Antigua, Barbuda, islands in the sunlight,
Warm hearted people, colors bright.
Feel the calypso, feel the sway,
Oh, the twin islands light the way!
[Outro]
So let the ocean breeze sweep your soul,
In Antigua and Barbuda, you become whole.
Let the rhythm guide your heart, forever free,
In these islands, where you long to be.
