He was actually singing about one of his sons here! LOL! One of them went to him and told him he wanted to marry his girlfriend, and he asked him those same questions. Then, made it into a big chune!
You learn trade, got good grades, you a smart man, a magician...No!.....haahahahahahaha Love the lyrics, the tempo, the dynamics of his dance moves and most of all the softy spot-he hits on reality....One Love!
Another legend is gone to be with the ancestors. Thank you Mighty Shadow. condolences to your friend's, family, many fans. RIP gone but never will be forgotten.
Gone but never forgotten. We love you and miss you. Rest in Peace Mighty Shadow (Birth Name: Winston McGarland Bailey). Thank you for all the years of dedicated song mastery and entertainment. A true General in the field of Calypso music.
We are still here 2023 ! Thank God these legendary performances by outstanding artists we documented so we can look back and relive the memories. God bless our nation. Stay up T&T
I was just thinking this.. we went crazy in the stands when he performed this tune in 2001 at the Dimance Gras Calypso Monarch finals.. then won! Good times! 💃💃
Im just saw the news and a sense of sadness came upon me. Condolences to his family and loved ones. My favorite calypsonian has joined the ancestors. Shadow was truly the people's champion and will be greatly missed.
ooooman....brings back suchhhh good memories of my dad blasting shadow and sparrow back in the 90s when i was a lil girl in brooklyn....BIG UPS ALLYUH TRINIS!!
Entirely a genius. Poetic and music genius! A man of integrity! I love him, I adopt him as my Papa, with ah Trini pet name too - my "Papa Doh!" Doh being short for Shadow, yuh know how allyuh Trini like to shorten ting!
Yea thats tru. The young man wanted to get married but wasn't working anywhere and had no education. Therefore the marriage wont last. Love it, Thanks for posting.
He's my favorite Calypsonian, and singing my favorite Shadow song ever! Fell even more in love with him now seeing his MOVES!!! Now I see why I always loved his music. He tooooooooooo SMOOTH!!! Thanks for posting!

Every young man should take ten minutes and listen to these lyrics - at least once in your life..
Kendrick Sooknarine definitely!!
Especially the last part. And it's very true.

Moral: if you are not prepared to meet the basic needs and wants of your mate, someone else might be more than ready to pick up the slack.
And that's not what the song means. Try again
@@KarstenTurner what does it mean then?
@@KarstenTurner Then what's the meaning behind this song then? Enlighten us.
@@KarstenTurner ❤❤

As the beautiful and impeccably dressed back up singers follow The Shadow off the stage. Sums it up. Pure joyous class.
U don't have to be vulgar...at all...to excite crowds...Long live the legacy !!!!
