Tu Me Touches
Roberto Martini Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sou plas Boyer nou te konn rankontre
Pou nou pale, nou karese, w'ap di m tout sa w panse
Se nan ou menm cheri, mwen vle pou m abite
Pou n fè lanmou jouk tan la lune kouche
Minwi sonnen n'ape manyen
Tout kò m ap frisonnen
M'paka kenbe, m'vle rete, konsa mwen vle rete
Dou sonje moman nou te konn pase à deux
Sou plas Boyer nou te konn rankontre
Pou nou pale, nou karese, w'ap di m tout sa w panse
Se nan ou menm cheri, mwen vle pou m abite
Pou n fè lanmou jouk tan la lune kouche
Minwi sonnen n'ape manyen
Tout kò m ap frisonnen
M'paka kenbe, m'vle rete, konsa mwen vle rete
Ay ay, tu me touches
Ay ay, oui c'est bon
A wi, mwen konn yon jou kanmèm fò sa ta va chanje
Zanmi jalou pa vle wè moun damou
Yo pale m mal pou detounen w pou te kapab bliye m
Se Bondye sèl ki konn kijan m'santi m
M'te fè w konfyans lè m te ba ou tout kè m
Pa ka kenbe pou viv san ou
Nan nwit mwen yo vin telman vid
Jounen mwen yo vin telman long
Vini manyen m pou fè m vole
Men se pa posib
Dopto, chap te de do
Sonnen klòch la
Kite l mache
Alo Ralpho, kite l mache, kite l woule
Alo Philippe, kite l mache, kite l woule wi
Maestro jwèt nan men w
He he ou konnen m sezi
Vire vire vire vire vire
Men konpa m'tap tann nan wi papa
Konsa, konsa
He he, jwe pou yo
Podopopop pedo pedo pedo wep,
Pedep popop pedo pedo pedop wep
Wi sa se konpa
Mande mande
Tout sa m'ap mande w s'on ti bo
Tout sa m'ap mande w cheri se yon ti bo
Ou fè m mal
Sonje lè n te renmen - Ou fè m mal
Nou te toujou damou - Ou fè m mal
Pawòl nou te pale - Ou fè m mal
O nou pap janm kite
Ou fè m mal
Sonje lè n te renmen - Ou fè m mal
Nou te toujou damou - Ou fè m mal
Pawòl nou te pale - Ou fè m mal
Pou nou pat janm kase
Tout sa m'ap mande w s'on ti bo
Tout sa m'ap mande w cheri se yon ti bo
Ou fè m mal
Sonje lè n te renmen - Ou fè m mal
Tout je t'ape gade nou- Ou fè m mal
Gade kijan w fè m wont - Ou fè m mal
Pou seza w'al kite mwen
Ou fè m mal
Lè w te andan Lexus la - Ou fè m mal
Ou te kole sou mwen- Ou fè m mal
Kounye a m'nan bògen nan - Ou fè m mal
Ou pa gade m kou chyen

Dou sonje moman nou te konn pase à deux
I remember the moments we used to spend alone together
Sou plas Boyer nou te konn rankontre
At Boyer square we used to meet
Pou nou pale, nou karese, w'ap di m tout sa w panse
We used to talk, caress each other and share our thoughts
Se nan ou menm cheri, mwen vle pou m abite
It's in you my love, where I want to live
Pou n fè lanmou jouk tan la lune kouche
To make love until the moon sets
Minwi sonnen n'ape manyen
It's midnight and we're touching
Tout kò m ap frisonnen
All my body is trembling
M'paka kenbe, m'vle rete, konsa mwen vle rete
I can't hold back, I want to stay there, that's how I want to stay
Ay ay, tu me touches
Oh oh, you touch me
Ay ay, oui c'est bon
Oh oh, yes it's good
A wi, mwen konn yon jou kanmèm fò sa ta va chanje
Yes, I know that one day this will change
Zanmi jalou pa vle wè moun damou
Jealous friends don't want to see people in love
Yo pale m mal pou detounen w pou te kapab bliye m
They say bad things about me to distract you so you can forget me
Se Bondye sèl ki konn kijan m'santi m
Only God knows how I feel
M'te fè w konfyans lè m te ba ou tout kè m
I gave you my heart when I trusted you
Pa ka kenbe pou viv san ou
I can't bear to live without you
Nan nwit mwen yo vin telman vid
My nights have become so empty
Jounen mwen yo vin telman long
My days have become so long
Vini manyen m pou fè m vole
Come touch me so I can fly
Men se pa posib
But it's not possible
Dopto, chap te de do
Doctor, the chapter is over
Sonnen klòch la
The bell is ringing
Kite l mache
Let it go
Alo Ralpho, kite l mache, kite l woule
Hello Ralpho, let it go, let it roll
Alo Philippe, kite l mache, kite l woule wi
Hello Philippe, let it go, let it roll
