Chak fwa mwen we w
Sie l la chavire
Chak fwa mwen we w
tout zetwal ki nan ke m
fom yon bouko pou ou
Yo rele l lanmou (rele l lanmou rele l lanmou)

Chak fwa mwen we w

tout fem ki nan kom
tounen yon rivye wouj
Tanpri pa kite m (pa kite m pa kite m)

Syel la chavire OOOOOOOooooo

Minwi pare pou kom asye a sou potay
Banm yon ti kout kleren pou m neye chagren (chagren)
Malgre tout sak pase mwen pap janm ka bliye w
Se ou sel mwen renmen ou menm sel fanm dous mwen

Malgre tout sa k pase doudou
Pa p sa bliye w se ou sel mwen renmen
Sel fanm dous mwen
Malgre tout sa k pase doudou
Pa p sa bliye w se ou sel mwen remen
Sel fanm dous mwen

Ves 1
Le swa le m pral domi
Mwen met non ou anba zorye m
Tout rev mwen anvi fe yo tout sanble ave w
Le maten le m leve cheri
Avan menm mwen bwe kafe
Se non w ki rechofe m
Ou peple tout panse m
Malgre tout sa k pase

(Repeat)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Alan Cavé's song Fan'm dous mwen tell a story of a deep and unending love for someone special. The singer explains that every time they see this person, their world is turned upside down and all the stars in the sky seem to shine just for them. They beg for the person not to leave them, because they will be lost without them. The chorus repeats this sentiment, emphasizing that the sky is falling and they need their love to survive.

The second verse talks about the singer's dreams at night, where they long to be with their beloved and make everything right. They wake up in the morning with the person still on their mind, and even drinking coffee is not enough to shake their thoughts. Despite everything that has happened in the past, the singer cannot forget this person and loves them more than anything else in the world.
