Ophelia Letter Blow 'way

Ophelia Letter Blow 'way song dates back in 1950 (Elder-FolksongsFromTobago). This song is describing as life is like a letter that wind can blow away, but the person whose life has been lost is not dead but blown away to some other place, like Arima.

Elder-FolksongsFromTobago: "In 'Ophelia letter' we have a beautiful metaphor of a woman losing her husband or spouse and the sheer impossibility of saying just where the dead man is."

 Lyrics: 

Ophelia letter blow way, It blow 'way in Arima (repeat).

It blow way in Arima, It blow' way in Arima (repeat). Oh!

 

Ophelia where your letter? It blow 'way in Arima (repeat).

It blow 'way in Arima, It blow' way in Arima (repeat). Oh! .


Ophelia where your letter? It blow 'way in Castara (repeat).

It blow 'way in Arima, It blow' way in Castara (repeat).
