00:00Interpreting the music of her native country, a really rare artist who knows no boundaries whatsoever.
00:05She's equally at home, with a beautiful melody from, I guess, any country in the world.
00:09For instance, this haunting West Indian ballad, Love Tastes Like Strawberries.
00:13Miriam McCabe.
00:15Love is black like pinwheels flying.
00:42Love is salt like tears are crying.
00:47Wine and spices in palace.
00:51Love's got a fresh strawberry taste.
01:00And when we've had love, cry strawberries.
01:05That's when my heart beats like strawberries.
01:13Love tastes like strawberries.
01:20I met my love in a market place.
01:25My heart stopped when I saw his face.
01:29The berry man cried, won't you try this?
01:34Well, we both whistled a kiss.
01:39The berries are gone and the spring has passed.
01:43But I know my love will always last.
01:48No rain has come with sudden haste.
01:53Love's got a fresh strawberry taste.
02:01And when we've had love, cry strawberries.
02:06That's when my heart beats like strawberries.
02:15Love tastes like strawberries.
02:22Strawberries.
02:27Love tastes like strawberries.
02:32La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.

02:41La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
02:43La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
