[prisiri]

Hi, I'm from Surinam too.

I for one am glad she made this song popular.

The origins from this song are from runaway slaves who lived autonomously since the 1700's. They fought their way to freedom and are a very proud people who do not mix too much with the city blacks.

I think Square one did a good job with the song. It is proof that we in the caribbean like to dance to a good beat no matter if we can't understand :)

One Love

[DaRealist213]

if it wasnt for alison hinds half of u peeps who keep saying its not hers wont know about it. ok its not hers originally, but she made it her own and it became a soca hit, dont hate, congratulate.

[nimbarkadasa]

She has always mentioned she got the song in Suriname. Its originally in Sranan Tongo a sort of Island Creole... (aparently people still speak a variant of this in Ghana?!), and was sung in the 80's and again in the early 90's by ai sa si and again by Square One.

[dreameraua]

she will be here tomorrow!!!!

[lfairlight]

I heard this song years ago when I live in Brooklyn @ the West Indian Parade. It was the hottest song in Crown Heights. I definately have to see her in concert. And as far as the Surinamese,they have a mix of African, European, and in the case of this country, Indian (N.American) culture. Just like Puerto Ricans have a mix of races that have turned into a whole new "race", with a distinctive culture, they have too.

[DaniAngel2006]

Bap! Bap! Allison run the world! Make way for the Queen of Soca. Even now this song still big in the Carib...cah done! Rags in the air!! Anything in the air!!

[caribandit]

FYI- This song was originally recorded by a group named YAKKI FAMIRIE in 2001. Allison is not the first recording artist- she got it from Yakki Famirie. Check out Yakki Famirie Faluma on Youtube

[Suriparibo]

This song was taught to Alison Hinds at her tour to Suriname some years ago. It was a national hitsong from a local group at that time. Allison learned not only the songtext from the show promotor, but also the way how to dance to the music. Sadly, when she sings the song on tournees along the Caribbean and outside, she does not mention that this is originaly a Surinamese song. It's a song from the Saamaka tribe in Suriname.

[strongpikin]

Dude that ain't true! Everytime I've seen and heard her perform, even on her interviews- she's always mentioned that she got that song from Surinam!

[TwistyAaliyah]

this song was so hott in barbados dat even d men pon d block had it blazing thru d lil radios dem had pon cds. This song just used ta mash up d fetes hear?! She needs ta come back ta bim along wid edwin and rupee and d lil rick and ting and have a big party...mek ya wuk up till ya cyan feel ya feet na more

[zaheer25]

she riped it of from a local suriname band,if you listed to the words

[TerriakaSmylz]

its not creole its some african language she said it on tempo....

[babiboi8708]

ok but can ne1 translate wha she sayin???

[lentnbent]

no not saba. its an original surinamese song which she heard and then rerecorded. i mean seriosuly, its the language of the bush negro maroons in suriname- which is a mix of dutch, potuguese, english, and some type of african...

[crazytrini123]

the language she is singing in sranan tongo its a mixed of portugese dutch and west african which is mainly talked in the country of suriname

[zaheer25]

she ripped the song of some local band in suriname ,i was the there when this was a big hit

[Jvilander]

She didnt rip it off. Everytime she sings it be bigs up Suriname.

[Westindianwoman]

Saba speaks English and Dutch! What Creale language bajans does speak Cause I never heard of that.Pls inform me.I think it Sranantongo with a remix!

[Sleepless4Life]

For all u ppl out there wondering what language she singin it's from a dialect spoken by a maroon tribe in Suriname, South America. She did hear it from a lady singin it in Suriname. That lady is a lead singer for a group called "Ai sa si". The song was very popular in my country. So Alison heard it n liked it very much n rerecorded. n that's the version u hear in this vid. Hope that helped =P

[LLSm00th]

hahhaa ik wist niet dat het maroon dialect was, ik ben zelf ook surinaams maar creools en deze poko was zeker populair ook bij onze surinaamse mensen hier uit nederland...iedereen word lauv en dansi de hele nacht baja als je deze poko hoort maar weer wat geleerd toch maar a tan so ik ga je spreken bosiiiiiiiiii

[LLSm00th]

no its a carribean language from barbados but the official language is english but its theire old skool original language but what language that is i dont know

[trinigren18uk]

lol..Caribbean language omg! llsmooth plz check out caribbean history!sleepless is soo right

[LLSm00th]

trinigren maybe you must check out the carribbean history. Mi a sranang boi mi no sabi a sma singi wan marrons dialect. The official language of suriname is dutch and the other most spoken language is sranang tongo and suriname is a carribean country so first check out the history and then lol....kaulo motyo sma hahahaha and sleepless gran danki fu de informatie bosi en wan brasi mi gudu

[fr3shkix]

suriname is not a caribbean country, caricom but not a typical caribbean country...for instance Guyana is in South America but it's not really caribbean...though its considered as one cuz of its culture.

[maudat]

Sorry which language is she speaking in? It sounds so much like sth I could hear back home on motherland (Africa)

[Jvilander]

no. its a language spoken on saba i think. she heard the song there being sung by some women then she came home a re-recorded it. she explained on an interview i read.

[Snackpie76]

love this chune! ah fi-fi, ah fatigue!
