0:07:27 > 0:07:31That song and performance belongs to a tradition of music called reggae.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33It comes from the West Indies,

0:07:33 > 0:07:35where it was born in the days of colonialism.

0:07:35 > 0:07:37It's the music of the underdog.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40It reflects the passions of people held in colonial bondage.

0:07:40 > 0:07:45# You sheltered me from harm

0:07:45 > 0:07:49# Kept me warm

0:07:49 > 0:07:52# Kept me warm

0:07:54 > 0:07:58# You gave my life to me

0:07:58 > 0:08:02# Set me free

0:08:02 > 0:08:06# Set me free

0:08:06 > 0:08:11# The finest years I ever knew

0:08:12 > 0:08:17# Is all the years I have with you

0:08:17 > 0:08:23# And I would give anything I own

0:08:23 > 0:08:30# Give up my life, my heart, my own

0:08:30 > 0:08:37# And I would give anything I own

0:08:37 > 0:08:44# Just to have you back again

0:08:44 > 0:08:47# Is there someone you know

0:08:47 > 0:08:50# That won't let you go

0:08:50 > 0:08:56# And taking it all for granted?

0:08:56 > 0:08:59# You may lose them one day

0:08:59 > 0:09:02# Someone takes them away

0:09:02 > 0:09:08# And you don't hear a word they say

0:09:08 > 0:09:15# And I would give anything I own

0:09:15 > 0:09:21# Give up my life, my heart, my own

0:09:21 > 0:09:27# And I would give anything I own

0:09:28 > 0:09:35# Just to have you back again

0:09:35 > 0:09:41# Just to talk to you words again

0:10:07 > 0:10:10# Is there someone you know

0:10:10 > 0:10:13# That won't let you go

0:10:13 > 0:10:19# And taking it all for granted?

0:10:19 > 0:10:22# You may lose them one day

0:10:22 > 0:10:26# Someone takes them away

0:10:26 > 0:10:31# And you don't hear a word they say

0:10:31 > 0:10:37# And I would give anything I own

0:10:37 > 0:10:44# Give up my life, my heart, my own

0:10:44 > 0:10:51# And I would give anything I own

0:10:51 > 0:10:57# Just to have you back again

0:10:57 > 0:11:04# Just to talk to you words again

0:11:04 > 0:11:09# Just to hold you once again. #

0:11:11 > 0:11:13However the carnival started, its beginnings were modest.

0:11:13 > 0:11:17There were no elaborate costumes, just fancy dress.

0:11:17 > 0:11:20And the mood was very much dictated by the relaxed rhythms

0:11:20 > 0:11:24of calypso and steel bands, so much a sound of the West Indies.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29# First you take my heart In the palm of your hand

0:11:29 > 0:11:33- # And squeeze it tight - Ooh, ooh-ooh

0:11:33 > 0:11:35# Then you take my mind

0:11:35 > 0:11:39- # And play with it all night - Ooh, ooh-ooh

0:11:39 > 0:11:41# You take my pride

0:11:41 > 0:11:44# And you throw it up against the wall

0:11:44 > 0:11:46# Ooh, ooh-ooh

0:11:46 > 0:11:48# You take me in your arms, baby

0:11:48 > 0:11:50# And bounce me like a rubber ball

0:11:51 > 0:11:54# Well, I'm not complaining

0:12:52 > 0:12:55- # Cos don't you know that it - Hurts so good

0:12:55 > 0:12:58- # Don't you know that it - Hurts so good
