Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Definitivman, manmzel se yon devegonde
Manmzel pa bon man
Poutan papa, ban m' ba ou story a byen
Sa se story Yon bel tifi
Pwoblem lavi fe l' mal aji
Sa se yon ti fanm bo
Gade yon mon l'ap monte Sa se story
Sa pi red ke mon Tapyon
Yon bel tifi, Nou pap bay manti
Eben men verite a
Lavi ou cheri gen twa chapit
Triloji sa a tounen yon vis
Dimanch ou se pou misye Chic
Chik Chek Chok
Le mekredi se misye Chek
Li pase chache ou nan yon tetbef
Wout ou jou sa a tou dwat labank
Ou mete wob a volan w
L'ap pwomennen ou nan tout salon
Se misye Chik, figi ou mare, met kach atè
Mwen pap pran chek san pwovizyon
Le vendredi se misye Chok
Se li k' mache nan santiman ou
Pi gwo defo l' afe l' pa bon wo
Chik Chek Chok
Kalandriye ou ap pran dife
Semenn ou chaje varyete
Konsa lavi fose ou boule
Ou resevwa li tout jan
Chak vandredi Chok desevis
Depi ou ave li ke ou kontan,
Ou anpenppan Ou anpenpan
Ti cheri lavi sa ka toumante ou
Ka fe ou fe sa ou pa vle
Chache pou ou sot nan sa ou ye la
Pa bliye sa fanm ou reprezante
Make up mind ou pou konn sa ou vle
Ou gen yon non fanmi ou pote, sonje
Kalandriye ou ap pran dife
Semenn ou chaje varyete, manman
Chik Chek Chok
Konsa lavi foise ou woule
Le m' gade ou mwen ka we nan ki soufrans ou ye
Gen de fwa ou rete ou made pou ou pat egziste
Le m'realize Chik Chek Chok se chwa pa w li ye
O baby girl ou pran nan cho
Le chik paret, se li lasosyete aksepte
Li fe fyete papi, li fe bone manmi
Le Chek antre li pran ou mennen ou aletranje
Pou ou al achete kolye kelkanswa kote ou ta vle
Le Chok met pye tout tanperaman ou chanje
Se li ou prefere menm ke li pa posede
Ou bezwen bon lovin' se ave l' ou komonike
Ou menm pare pare pare pou ou ba l' yon ti bebe
Sa se story yon bel tifi
Pwoblem lavi fe l' mal aji
Gad jan li mele, Gad jan li mele
Li mete ou anba volan an
L'ap pwomennen ou nan tout salon
Figi ou mare met kach atè
Mwen pap pran chek san pwovizyon
Ou resevwa li tout jan
Chak vandredi Chok desevis
Depi ou ave l' ke ou kontan
Ou anpenpan, kalandriye ou chaje
Kalandrye ou ap pran dife
Semenn ou chaje varyete
Manman Chik Chek Chok
Konsa lavi fose ou woule
Chak jou ou leve ou gen yon nouvo gid manman
Li fose ou boule
Ou pap janm rete ou pa fonksyone manman
Li fose ou boule
Fok ou fe yon jan pote yon chanjman manman
Li fose ou boule
Mwen konnen lavi a pa fasil manman
Li fose ou boule
Kalandrye ou ap pran dife
Semenn ou chaje varyete
Manman Chik Chek Chok
Konsa lavi fose ou woule
Alan Cavé's song Chik Chek Chok is a story about a beautiful girl who is not a good person. She causes problems for those around her, including the singer, but her father wants the singer to tell him the story about her more thoroughly. The song goes on to describe her as a problematic girl who has a nice appearance, but causes trouble for everyone around her. Despite this, the singer seems to be caught up in her and the insanity of her life, with the different days of the week being associated with different aspects of her character.
The lyrics continue to bring up the idea of a "kalandriye" which could translate to a calendar, but in this context, it is referred to as the chaos of life. The singer states that every day, when you wake up, you have a new challenge that life forces you to face, and that you have to burn to get through it. The chorus repeats the phrase "Chik Chek Chok" which can be interpreted as an onomatopoeic representation of the rhythm of life. Essentially, it's a reflection on the craziness of life and how it can be overwhelming at times.

Ah! Monche tifi a pa bon non, papa
Oh! That girl is not good, dad
Definitely, she is a troublemaker
She is not a good person
However, dad, let me tell you her story properly
Sa se story Yon bel tifi
It's the story of a beautiful girl
Life's problems make her behave badly
She's a pretty young lady
At my house, she behaves poorly
Look how her situation has escalated!
It's even worse than a disaster!
A beautiful girl, we won't tell a lie
But, here's the truth
Lavi ou cheri gen twa chapit
Your life, my dear, has three chapters
This trilogy becomes a routine
Sunday is for Mr. Chic
Check is for Wednesday
He's looking for you in a headache
Your way this day straight to the bank
Ou mete wob a volan w
You put your hands on the steering wheel
He drives you around all the rooms
Mr. Chic, your face is hard, put the brakes on
I won't take a check without provisions
Le vendredi se misye Chok
On Fridays, it's Mr. Chok
He's the one that walks with you
He has a biggest problem, he's not good
Chick check shock
Kalandriye ou ap pran dife
Your calendar is catching fire
Your week is overloaded with variety
Thus, life forces you to burn
You receive everything
Every Friday, Chok disappoints
Since you are happy with it, you are stuck with it
Ti cheri lavi sa ka toumante ou
Little sweetheart, this life can trouble you
It can make you do what you don't want
Search for your place inside the situation that you are already in
Don't forget that you represent a woman
Make up your mind for what you want
You carry a family name, remember
Le m' gade ou mwen ka we nan ki soufrans ou ye
When I look at you, I can see your pain
Sometimes you are upset, as if you didn't exist
Then I realized Chick check shock is not your choice
Oh baby girl, you are caught up in the heat
When Chick leaves, he accepts that you have his association
He makes your dad proud, he makes your mom happy
When Chok comes, he takes you to a foreign place
So you can buy a necklace wherever you want
When Chok puts his feet, all your temper changes
It's still the one you prefer even though it doesn't own you
You need good loving to communicate with him
You are ready for a little baby
Gad jan li mele, Gad jan li mele
Look how she's mixed up, look how she's mixed up
Chak jou ou leve ou gen yon nouvo gid manman
Every day you wake up, you have a new guide, mom
It forces you to burn
You will never stop; you will not work, mom
It forces you to burn
You have to make a change, mom
It forces you to burn
I know life isn't easy, mom
It forces you to burn
Kalandrye ou ap pran dife
Your calendar is catching fire
Your week is overloaded with variety
So, life forces you to burn
