Illusion
Arly Lariviere Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Le mwen tap grandi
M'pat konprann lavi
M'te konn bay manti
Paske mwen te vle
Kache verite
K'te konn fe'm kriye
Bay moun responsab
Relasyon k'pat stab
Chans te gon'w koupab
Sak maturite
M'vinn realize
Sete destinee
Lavi'm se yon mystere, yon eternelle illusion
Aimer a l'imparfait, se sel conjugaison.
Si destin te ban'm chwa, mtap evite les pleurs,
Ni douleur, ni malheur patap obstrue bonheur'm
M'pa kwe nan reziye
Mwen plis kwe nan lite
Mwen pa kwe nan detrui
Mwen plis kwe nan konstrui
M'pa kwe nan abandon
Mwen plis kwe nan padon
Coeur'm pare pou'l renmen
Domaj ke se en vain
Oh!
Si destin te ban'm chwa, mtap evite les pleurs,
Ni douleur, ni malheur patap obstrue bonheur'm
M'pa kwe nan reziye
Mwen plis kwe nan lite
Mwen pa kwe nan detrui
Mwen plis kwe nan konstrui
M'pa kwe nan abandon
Mwen plis kwe nan padon
Coeur'm pare pou'l renmen
Domaj ke se en vain
Oh!
Nu look!
Oh!
Papa bondye pouki se mwen men'm
Ki toujou ap pase mize, ki pa janm bouke plenyen
San'm pa f'anyen oh non non non non
Mwen pa exigeant depi moun nan konprann mwen, depi
moun nan ka renmen'm m'ap pran'l ak bra'm ouve.
Mwen avek lanmou nou fe menm wout chak jou
(Nou fe menm wout chak jou)
Men pou yon rezon nou pa janm bay lanmen
(pa janm bay lanmen)
M'pa swete peson janm nan situasyon'm
(Situasyon)
Ou tounen'w viktim san'w menm pa janm fe krim
baz! touche'm dous!
Junior port-de-paix ap fete!
Tout sa mwen eseye
Mezanmi mwen echwe
(David gran fre'm mwen mele)
Eske mwen kondane
Pou vi mwen malere
(BS patne'm m'antrave)
Tout sa mwen eseye
Mezanmi mwen echwe
(Gerald the best mwen mele)
Eske mwen kondane
Pou mwen pa janm heureux
Ouh!
Lanmou son'w zam a doub tranchan
Se yon mal necessaire
San li men'm lavi'w son'w lanfe
Se yon pact ak Lucifer!
Eseye pa pi gwo peche
Mwen pap dekouraje
Mwen konen gon'w jou kap pou mwen




Bondye pa bay peine san sekou
Nu look!

Line by Line Meaning

Le mwen tap grandi
As I was growing up


M'pat konprann lavi
I didn't understand life


M'te konn bay manti
I used to lie


Paske mwen te vle Kache verite
Because I wanted to hide the truth


K'te konn fe'm kriye
That used to make me cry


Bay moun responsab Relasyon k'pat stab Chans te gon'w koupab
Blaming people for unstable relationships and bad luck


Sak maturite M'vinn realize Sete destinee
With maturity, I realized it was my destiny


Lavi'm se yon mystere, yon eternelle illusion
My life is a mystery, an eternal illusion


Aimer a l'imparfait, se sel conjugaison.
To love in the past tense is the only way to phrase it


Si destin te ban'm chwa, mtap evite les pleurs, Ni douleur, ni malheur patap obstrue bonheur'm
If destiny gave me a choice, I'd avoid tears, pain, and misfortune so I could be happy


M'pa kwe nan reziye Mwen plis kwe nan lite Mwen pa kwe nan detrui Mwen plis kwe nan konstrui M'pa kwe nan abandon Mwen plis kwe nan padon Coeur'm pare pou'l renmen Domaj ke se en vain
I don't believe in revenge, I believe in fighting. I don't believe in destruction, I believe in creation. I don't believe in giving up, I believe in forgiveness, and my heart is ready to love, but it's a shame that it's in vain.


Nu look!
Look at us!


Oh!
Oh!


Papa bondye pouki se mwen men'm Ki toujou ap pase mize, ki pa janm bouke plenyen San'm pa f'anyen oh non non non non
God, why is it always me who's going through hard times without ever complaining? And I didn't do anything wrong.


Mwen pa exigeant depi moun nan konprann mwen, depi moun nan ka renmen'm m'ap pran'l ak bra'm ouve.
I don't expect people to understand me, but if someone loves me, I'll welcome it with open arms.


Mwen avek lanmou nou fe menm wout chak jou (Nou fe menm wout chak jou) Men pou yon rezon nou pa janm bay lanmen (pa janm bay lanmen)
We walk the same path every day with love, but for some reason, we never hold hands


M'pa swete peson janm nan situasyon'm (Situasyon) Ou tounen'w viktim san'w menm pa janm fe krim
I don't wish anyone to be in my situation. You become a victim even though you never committed a crime.


baz! touche'm dous! Junior port-de-paix ap fete!
Easy! Don't touch me gently! Junior in Port-de-Paix is celebrating!


Tout sa mwen eseye Mezanmi mwen echwe (David gran fre'm mwen mele) Eske mwen kondane Pou vi mwen malere (BS patne'm m'antrave) Tout sa mwen eseye Mezanmi mwen echwe (Gerald the best mwen mele) Eske mwen kondane Pou mwen pa janm heureux
Everything I try, man, I fail. (David my big brother mixed me up.) Am I doomed to have a miserable life? (BS my homie holds me back) Everything I try, man, I fail. (Gerald the best mixed me up.) Am I doomed to never be happy?


Lanmou son'w zam a doub tranchan Se yon mal necessaire San li men'm lavi'w son'w lanfe Se yon pact ak Lucifer!
Your love is a double-edged sword; it's a necessary evil. Without it, your life is cold, but it's a pact with Lucifer!


Eseye pa pi gwo peche Mwen pap dekouraje Mwen konen gon'w jou kap pou mwen Bondye pa bay peine san sekou Nu look!
Don't try to sin too much. I won't be discouraged. I know you're on my side. God won't give me pain without help. Look at us!
