- English
"Carnival Dance Lesson", written in Nation language. Nation language is like a Patois. It's not English spoke, as written, but English as spoken in Trinidad. "Carnival Dance Lesson. " One, two, three, you can dance like me. With arms held high, that's how you start. Let the music touch your heart. One, two, three. You can dance like me. You must be relaxed. I insist. Wind with the rhythm. Shake your waist. Shake up, jump up, bacchanal. Then we elevate, carnival. One, two, three. You can dance like me. Jump in the band. Let's have some fun. Happy times have now begun. One, two, three. You can dance like me. (John beatboxing) You can dance like me.
