Yon Ti Serment
Arly Lariviere Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sans même dire adieu, sans un aurevoir
Tu as décidé de tout abandonner
Chérie qu′as-tu fais de nos rêves et nos vœux
Mes sentiments et mes désires n'ont-ils pas d′importance?!

Trop souvent j'ai eu tord, pardonne mon attitude
Mes folies de jeunesse, et mes manques de tendresse
Ton absence me détruit, reviens moi je t'en prie
J′ai tant besoin de ton amour, donne moi au moins une chance

Nou té fè yon sèmen, pou′n pa janm kité
San'w pa mandé′m anyen, ou levé walé
Nou té fè yon sèmen, pou'n pa janm kité
San′w pa mandé'm anyen, ou levé walé

Kriyé, chanté ... koté ou yé
Mèm nan domi mwen yé, sé ou m′révé
Pityé m'mandé, pou tout sa mwen fè'w
Parske vi′m san ou men′m, pa vo anyen

Nou té fè yon sèmen, pou'n pa janm kité
San′w pa mandé'm anyen, ou levé walé
Nou té fè yon sèmen, pou′n pa janm kité
San'w pa mandé′m anyen, ou levé walé

SOLO Ring

Pa fè mwen wont, pa fè mal
Sé ou menm ki mennen'm isit
Pa fè mwen wont, pa fè mal
Sé ou k'tout kè mwen (sé ou k′tout kè mwen)

Pa fè mwen wont, pa fè mal
Sé ou menm ki mennen′m isit
Pa fè mwen wont, pa fè mal
Sé ou tout vi mwen

Jodi a w'di fo′w fè'm péyé, jodi a w′di fo'w fè′m kriyé
Fo'w pa ran'n mal pou mal, aksyon′w ka fè′m vin'n gen rézon
Lanmou pa dwé genyen rankune, lanmou pa dwé genyen vangans
Ni kondanasyon a vi, mwen di lanmou pa yon kriminèl

Jodi a w′di fo'w fè′m péyé, jodi a w'di fo′w fè'm kriyé
Fo'w pa ran′n mal pou mal, aksyon′w ka fè'm vin′n gen rézon
Lanmou pa dwé genyen rankune, lanmou pa dwé genyen vangans
Ni kondanasyon a vi, mwen di lanmou pa yon kriminèl

Pa fè mwen wont, pa fè mal
Sé ou menm ki mennen'm isit
Pa fè mwen wont, pa fè mal
Sé ou k′tout kè mwen (sé ou k'tout kè mwen)

Pa fè mwen wont, pa fè mal
Sé ou menm ki mennen′m isit




Pa fè mwen wont, pa fè mal
Sé ou tout vi mwen
