Honored I am of meeting & hangin' out with Blakie, he was: compassionate, & very funny often. 1967 Sparrow told Calypsonians to boycott the CDC shows in Tobago. Lord Cristo and others rejected this idea and went. Upon arrive at OYB Tent from that boat from Tobago. Sparrow met Cristo and wife and asked Cristo, didn't I told you not to go Tobago?...Sparrow slapped de shit outta Cristo who just stood there & allowed his face to swell. Blakie came the next night and told Sparrow,"I went Tobago too!"
@izlander123 thanks for the translation many people died in the process thru which our seperate and collective dialects came into being thank you wtih my whole heart
@izlander123 .Thank you very much for the translation. I have waited only about 50+ years for it.It has given me a better understanding of this classic. Thanks again.
True Story = In an Interview with Blakie's brother years ago he said that Maria was in fact a very Beauitful lady who was friendly with the Warlord. So here we got it from the RudeBoy himself the emotional effects of this Love Affair. One lesson here for all Men is always watch what you Eat.
he had a song about a trip he made to Arabia and he talk about an incident with a Chinee man driving a lorry and how the Chinee man describe the accident in court...hilarious stuff! any1 know the name of the song and could direct me where i could hear it on youtube??
Like good wine this classic becomes sweeter with age. Blakie, a true TnT Hero. Our generations to come will be singing this masterpiece along with 'Steelband Clash".
Growing up as a child I always enjoyed watching videos of Lord kitchener,David Rudder,Blakie etc. but this is truly one of the greatest calypso's in history.

I see someone had asked about the patois part...This is the translation that was given to me:
Sa'w ka fè ka pwi di djòl makawèl wini
what you are doing has you in its grasp [has you stuck] like the jaws of a macajuel (anaconda). [it ruins]
in short
the consequences of you actions are here, it will ruin you

I wonder why no one has added one of Blakie's other classic songs... "Tomorrow's Children". I love that song!
