[storyteller (man 1), spoken]
four generations past
in the time of napoleon
there came to this island
a frenchman, armand
[all (except armand, daniel, ti moune)]
armand!
armand!
[storyteller (man 1), spoken]
and he built a great fortune
and he built a grand mansion
and he wed a fine lady
so pale and so blonde
[madame armand (woman 1)]
armand!
[storyteller (woman 2)]
but armand took his pleasure
with the women who served him:
black peasant girls from
the village beyond
[peasant girls (woman 1, andrea)]
armand!
[storyteller (woman 2)]
and the loveliest one
bore the frenchman a son
such a fine peasant son —
[armand]
for armand!
[storyteller (woman 2)]
a beautiful child
the pale color
of coffee mixed with cream
[all (except daniel, ti moune)]
the beautiful one
the beautiful son
beauxhomme
[storyteller (man 1), spoken]
they named him:
[all (except daniel, ti moune)]
beauxhomme
[storyteller (man 1), spoken]
beauxhomme
[all (except daniel, ti moune)]
the beautiful one
the beautiful son
beauxhomme
[storyteller (man 1), spoken]
and the boy grew to be a man
and the great war began
[all (except daniel, ti moune)]
blacks fought against french
and the hated napoleon
they fought for their island
and finally won
[men (except daniel)]
we won!
[beauxhomme (man 2), storyteller (man 1)]
we won!
[storyteller (man 1), spoken]
and armand sailed for france
[storyteller (woman 2), spoken]
by the seat of his pants…
[all (except daniel, ti moune)]
…driven out
by his beautiful son!
[all (except daniel, ti moune)]
the beautiful one!
the beautiful son!
beauxhomme, beauxhomme
the beautiful one!
[beauxhomme, daniel]
what was his is now mine!
[the beautiful one!]
the beautiful son! beauxhomme!
[storyteller (woman 2)]
but armand left behind a terrible, terrible curse
[all (except armand, daniel, ti moune)]
i curse my son
[armand, spoken]
i curse my only son!
[all (except armand, daniel, ti moune)]
i curse his sons
[armand, spoken]
all of his sons!
[all (except armand, daniel, ti moune)]
generations—
[armand, spoken]
all beauxhommes yet unborn!
[all (except armand, daniel, ti moune)]
in advance
[armand, spoken]
your black blood will keep you
forever on this island…
while your hearts yearn
forever for france!
[all (except daniel, ti moune)]
the unlucky one
the unlucky son
beauxhomme. beauxhomme
from bad blood to worse
the name of the curse:
beauxhomme
they despise us for our blackness
it reminds them
where they’re from
the sad, sad tale
of the beauxhommes!
beauxhomme!
all spit
