[Verse] Sunrise spills on this old street, colors dance in the heat Got my eyes on the ripe plantains, gold like summer’s heartbeat Woman smiles with trade in her hands, pepper red like fire bands I offer coins, she shakes her head, but pride’s a thing we both understand [Pre-Chorus] Slow down, take a breath, no rush in this place We move with the rhythm, the sun on our face [Chorus] Plantains and peppers, sweet deals and pride Barter the day as the world slides by Hold on to value, but we never collide In the market’s soft hum, there’s no need to hide [Verse] She counts her peppers, I count my change Words float easy, like waves on a range No hurry, no fight, just the dance of the trade Pride wrapped in green leaves, in the cool shadows made [Pre-Chorus] Slow down, take a breath, no rush in this place We move with the rhythm, the sun on our face [Chorus] Plantains and peppers, sweet deals and pride Barter the day as the world slides by Hold on to value, but we never collide In the market’s soft hum, there’s no need to hide [Bridge] Underneath the mango tree, secrets swap like the breeze Every nod, every smile, a story told with ease Sunlit moments, simple and true In the market’s heart, me and you [Chorus] Plantains and peppers, sweet deals and pride Barter the day as the world slides by Hold on to value, but we never collide In the market’s soft hum, there’s no need to hide [Outro] Plantains and peppers, pride side by side In this laid-back dance where our worlds coincide
