Wasn't Meant to Be
Nu-Look Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

En depis de tout, sa ou vle fè'm konpran
Je garde de l'espoir qu'il y a un quelque part
Un être un parfait ki pou pataje vi'm
ki pap fè'm santi'm tankou yon desepere
Dènyeman ou di m ke se yon sel fwa moun renemen
Tout sa'k fèt a pre se enterè, se abitid
Pouki ou te vin' nan vi'm si w ou te konnen se konsa ou panse
Pat dwe kite'm ofriw kè mwen pou gran mesi
Pouki ou te vin' nan vi'm si'w te konnen ou pat vin pou'w rete
Pat dwe lonjem lanmen, Ou te dwe kite'm peri



Si on ti dispute ta mete'w en colere
Fow' evite repete des mots blessants
Car mem si ou ta di 1 million I'm sorry
Li pap efase tout peine ke ou koze
Apre tout tan sa ou di genyen'm nan vi'w pa vo anyen
Ou mem deklare se sikonstans ki fèn' ansanm
Pouki ou te vin' nan vi'm si w ou te konnen se konsa ou panse
Pat dwe kite'm ofriw kè' mwen pou gran mesi
Pouki ou te vin' nan vi'm si'w te konnen ou pat vin pou'w rete
Pat dwe lonjem lanmen, Ou te dwe kite'm peri
Why is it hard to find true love
I'm a fighter I won't give up
When there is a will, there is a way
I will not rest till I succeed Ou pa vle di'm nou kite pou bouch la sosyete
Men ou amuse'w pou fè de bagay ou konn kap deranje'm
Yon jou kanmem nan existans ou, mem si mwen ta nan'w lot peyi
Konsyans ou a va pozew kesyon
Wa we se mwen te bon pou ou

Why is it hard to find true love
I'm a fighter I wont give up
When there is a will, there is a way
I will not rest till I succeed Supren ou kap di on zanmi rezon fè'w pè kite
Se paske ou pa vle wè'm ap pase nan bra yon moun ki vlem
Se pa paske m' renemen'w pou'm soufri ni pou'w deside fè'm abu
Tout sa ki san enpotans nan je pa'w ka riches yon lot moun
Des fois, je me demande
M'as-tu jamais vraiment aimé?
Please help me understand why is it that I can't find love
Please tell me what to do so love feels welcome in my life
Then maybe luck would come my way
And happiness would grow within me
Eske la vi gen yon surprise pou mwen
Patience mwen bout
Mwen paka tan
Bondye m' pata rennmen je'm fèmem
Pou lanmou pa make existens en mwen
Tan pase vit se le bagay yo bel
Lè'w ap soufri se le contraire
Pase twop tan ap bay tèt mwen manti
Malgre sa ap rache ke'm m'oblije ale…
