Lyrics
Down in Port of Spain, de traffic jammin' tight, People hornin' loud, from mornin' till de night. I try to reach me girl, but de road block like a wall, Limbo low under de stress, hear me story, one and all.
Oh, limbo road blues, we dancin' through de jam, Steelpan singin' sweet, forget de traffic scam. Jump high, dip low, in dis Carnival dream, Trini spirit rise, we movin' wid de stream!
Me boss callin' early, say 'Boy, where you at?' I tell him 'In de line, waitin' for de bus or dat.' But inside me heart, de mas' band start to play, Forget de daily grind, let de rhythm lead de way.
Oh, limbo road blues, we dancin' through de jam, Steelpan singin' sweet, forget de traffic scam. Jump high, dip low, in dis Carnival dream, Trini spirit rise, we movin' wid de stream!
Sometimes life bend low, like de limbo pole so thin, But we laugh and we sway, let de music pull us in. No more heavy load, just de beat and de vibe, From de struggle to de joy, we alive, we thrive.
Oh, limbo road blues, we dancin' through de jam, Steelpan singin' sweet, forget de traffic scam. Jump high, dip low, in dis Carnival dream, Trini spirit rise, we movin' wid de stream!
We movin' on...
