I keep telling mwen pavle
M pa la dan -n
Mwen te dw sa de ja
Mwen pap di w sa anko
Lo- w pa la vim change
Pi proche pre lanmo
Koute-m cheri -a
Je te le jure, je te le jure
Sur la tete de ma mama.
M - pa vle -w pa la
Non non non m- pa vle
Si non siel la met tombe
Non non non m- pa vle
M - pa vle -w pa la
Pa vle -w ou koupe vim-m an de
Non non non m- pa vle
Mwen te diw sa de ja
Mwen pap di w sa anko
Lo-w pa la m- pa santi kom
Kay la vid san deko
Se mwen ki fe ou to
Map mouri ak remo
Je te le jure, je te le jure
Sur la tete de ma mama.
Some say" youn finisement san komasman "
Some say "you batiman san fondasyion"
The lyrics of Alan Cavé's song "San ou m'se" convey a sense of longing and desire for a romantic partner. The repetition of the opening lines "I keep telling mwen pavle, I keep telling mwen pavle" suggests a strong insistence on expressing one's feelings. The phrase "M pa la dan -n" can be interpreted as the singer expressing their absence from their lover's presence.
The following lines "Mwen te dw sa de ja, Mwen pap di w sa anko" imply that the singer has already expressed their feelings before and will not repeat them again. It can be seen as a plea for the partner's attention and change. The mention of "vim change" suggests a desire for a transformation in the relationship, a closer connection, or a change in the partner's behavior.
The lyrics "Pi proche pre lanmo, Koute-m cheri -a, Mon ame est a toi, Je te le jure" depict a deep emotional attachment to the person addressed as "cheri." The singer swears on the life of their mother, emphasizing the sincerity and seriousness of their feelings.
The subsequent lines "M - pa vle -w pa la" reveal an opposition or resistance to being apart from the loved one. The repetition of "Non non non m- pa vle" emphasizes the refusal to be separated and the fear that if the person is not present, it could lead to negative consequences, symbolized by the "siel la met tombe" (heaven falling).
The following verses continue the theme of not wanting to be apart, acknowledging the emptiness felt when the partner is not around. The line "Se mwen ki fe ou to" implies that the singer is responsible for the partner's happiness or well-being. The phrase "Map mouri ak remo" adds a dramatic touch, suggesting that the singer feels like they are dying without the presence of their loved one.
The final two lines introduce the perspective of others and their opinions about relationships. The phrases "Some say 'youn finisement san komasman' (an ending without a beginning)" and "Some say 'you batiman san fondasyion' (a building without a foundation)" evoke the idea that without a strong foundation or proper start, a relationship is doomed to fail.
Overall, the lyrics of "San ou m'se" express a deep longing and attachment towards a romantic partner, with a refusal to be apart and a desire for a closer connection.

I keep telling mwen pavle
I keep telling myself to speak up
I am not there anymore
I have moved on from that place
I already told you so
I have already informed you
I won't tell you again
I will not repeat myself
If you're not here, things will change
If you're absent, situations will be different
Closer to death
Approaching the end of life
Listen to me darling
Pay attention to what I have to say
My soul belongs to you
I dedicate my soul to you
I swear to you, I swear to you
I promise to you, I promise to you
On my mother's head
With my mother as witness
I don't want - you're not here
I don't want - you're absent
No no no, I don't want
No no no, I refuse
Otherwise, the sky will fall
Otherwise, a calamity will occur
No no no, I don't want
No no no, I refuse
I don't want - you're not here
I don't want - you're absent
Don't want you to cut off my veins
Don't want you to destroy my vitality
No no no, I don't want
No no no, I refuse
I already told you so
I have already informed you
I won't tell you again
I will not repeat myself
If you're not here, I don't feel
If you're absent, I feel empty
The house is empty without decoration
The house is empty without adornments
It's me who made you laugh
It's me who brought happiness to you
I'm dying with remorse
I'm consumed by regret
I swear to you, I swear to you
I promise to you, I promise to you
On my mother's head
With my mother as witness
Some say 'an ending without a beginning'
Some say 'a conclusion without a start'
Some say 'a building without a foundation'
Some say 'a structure without a base'
