    Story Behind the Song
    This was written many years ago during my New Orleans days, another song that Susan Mack and I used to perform acoustically. This full version features the wonderful voices of Mauritanians, Mohamed Cisse and Ablaye Dieng, along with some beautiful guitar work by Brian Corkill.

    Lyrics
    Tango down the isle of the late show
    To the sound of the xylophone and the wooden drums
    Flutes sing a silver melody freely
    So dance with the night 'till the night's no more
    Sing, sing all the songs
    Play guitars 'till you can't play no more
    Mask like robb ers and kings
    Drink the wine that the magic brings.

    Oh yeah, it's the festival of good life
    For the children of all men under every star
    Oh yeah, it's the festival of freedom
    In the east, in the west too, all around the world
    Ring, ring all the bells
    Pl a y the drums 'till you can't play no more
    Dance from the streets to the sea
    Swim in the water by the mango tree
    Carnival
    Carnival
    Carnival
    Carnival of people is how you live
    The festival of freedom is what you give
    No hate when we celebrate, no time to f ig ht
    No guns when we dance in the golden light

    Spring moon casts a golden light on us
    Warm water next to white sand and the dolphins swim
    People in the little towns
    People on the mountain side everywhere growing tall and wild
    Paint, paint all the scen es
    Pu sh your brush 'till you can't push no more
    Color all the people you see
    From the rainbow's end undeniably
    Carnival
    Carnival
    Carnival
    Carnival of people is how you live
    The festival of freedom is what you give
    No hate when we celebrate, no time to f i gh t
    No guns when we dance in the golden light
