Island Girl - Nyra

VERSE 1 ]

(Groove caribeño desde el bar 1 — la voz de Nyra suave y confiada.)

Grew up where the ocean meet the sky —

Port of Spain sunsets — never said goodbye —

to the version of myself that danced in the rain —

salt on my skin and joy in my veins.

Mama said child you got something rare —

the way you carry yourself — the way you wear —

your roots like a crown — like a song — like a right —

to take up every room — every stage — every light.

I learned the rhythm from the steel pan in the street —

learned what freedom feel like from the heat —

of a Trinidad morning when the whole world smell —

like possibility — like something you can't sell.

(La melodía sube — Nyra en su registro más alto.)

You feel it when I walk in — feel it when I move —

something about this island girl — she in her groove —

can't explain it — can't contain it — watch it unfold —

this girl from Trinidad — she something to behold.

(El hook más memorable del single — diseñado para cantarse en la radio y en la playa.)

Island girl — sun in her soul —

island girl — she already whole —

don't need nobody to complete the picture —

island girl — she the whole fixture —

of the night — of the light — of the warm —

island girl — she was born in the storm —

and came out dancing — came out right —

island girl. Every single night.

((Island girl... Trinidad... she the one... every night...))

(La producción más llena — el dancehall más presente.)

City lights on the water by the port —

the kind of night where everything is short —

on time but long on feeling — long on fire —

the kind that takes you higher — and higher.

He said where you from — I said everywhere —

from the coral and the coconut — from the air —

of an island that put music in my bones —

ain't nowhere in this world that feels like home.

But I carry home inside me everywhere I land —

in the rhythm of my voice — in the way I stand —

in the warmth I bring into every room —

island girl don't dim — island girl bloom.

You feel it when I walk in — feel it when I move —

something about this island girl — she in her groove —

can't explain it — can't contain it — watch it unfold —

this girl from Trinidad — she something to behold.

Island girl — sun in her soul —

island girl — she already whole —

don't need nobody to complete the picture —

island girl — she the whole fixture —

of the night — of the light — of the warm —

island girl — she was born in the storm —

and came out dancing — came out right —

island girl. Every single night.

(La producción se abre — el momento más emotivo del single. Voz íntima.)

Some people spend they whole life looking —

for the thing I already know —

it's not a place — it's not a person —

it's the way you let yourself go —

into the music — into the moonlight —

into the feeling that you're home —

wherever the tide takes you —

island girl — you never alone.

(Producción reconstruye — el final hook al máximo.)

(La versión más grande — toda la producción, el coro más pleno.)

Island girl — sun in her soul —

island girl — she already whole —

don't need nobody to complete the picture —

island girl — she the whole fixture —

of the night — of the light — of the warm —

island girl — she was born in the storm —

and came out dancing — came out right —

island girl — Trinidad — born and bright —

island girl. Every single night. Forever.

((Island girl... Trinidad... sun in her soul... she the one... forever...))

(La producción se desvanece sobre el groove caribeño. Nyra ad-libs.)

Island girl...

Port of Spain...

Trinidad...

she the one. Always. Island girl.
