Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the full moon light shinning so bright
Don´t go away, please stay
My love for you so strong
We just can´t go wrong
Tears in your eyes, you can´t deny
You´ve been crying, crying all along the day
Tears in your eyes can´t lie
Barbozi, Barboza
Rendez-vous tonight at Barboza
Barbozi, Barboza
Rendez-vous tonight at Barboza
Yes, I know that your first love hurt you so
I wish my love could heal your broken heart
And if you want tomorrow to be a brighter day
Now! oh Lord love me the way you love no one else
Love me the way you love no one else
I beg you love me the way you love no one else
So Barbozi, Barboza
Rendez-vous tonight at Barboza
Barbozizi zizi Barbozazaza

Alpha Blondy's "Rendez-Vous" is a love song that speaks to the power of love to heal and to give hope. The song begins with a description of a beautiful night with a full moon shining bright. The character in the song is speaking to his lover, begging for her to stay with him because his love for her is so strong that together they can't go wrong. He notices tears in her eyes which indicate that she's been crying all day, and he urges her to stop crying before it gets too late.
The chorus then comes in with a repetition of "Barbozi, Barboza, Rendez-vous tonight at Barboza," which suggests that this place is significant in their relationship. The second verse reveals why the woman is crying. Her first love hurt her badly, leaving her with a broken heart. The character in the song wishes that his love could heal her heart, and he asks the Lord to love him like no one else can so that he can be the one to heal her.
Overall, the song is a plea for love and connection. It speaks to the pain of past hurts and the hopefulness of a new love that can heal and make life brighter.
