Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yon lòt kou,
Relasyon nou
Devan deye
Ou atakem, mwen proteje'w
Rive yon lè, fo'nn louvè je'n
Jwet sa nap plede jwe
Pap mennen nou okenn kote
Nap mete l'avni'n an danje
Li an danje
Li an danje
Li an danje
Manman
Ou konnen lanmou mwen gen pou ou
S'on chay ki lou
Manman
Ou koule nan sanm, annou travay ansanm
Met tet ansanm
Mwen refize, mwen pap aksepte
Pou nou reziyen, san n'pa esaye
Si nou pral goumen, goumen pou lapè...
Ou menm ave'm
Manman
Ou konnen lanmou mwen gen pou ou
S'on chay ki lou
Manman...
Dekouraje
Mwen dekouraje
Santi anyen pap janm ka chanje
Pa ke n'pa kapab
Se komsi n'pa vle,
Nap reziste
Chanjman
Pa yon bagay ki fet fasil
Non, non
Li koute chè, pa fèt rapid oh
An atandan nap vire won
Nou sou tansyon
Nou sou tansyon
Nou sou tansyon
Manman
Ou konnen lanmou mwen gen pou ou
S'on chay ki lou
Manman
Ou koule nan sanm, annou travay ansanm
Met tet ansanm
Mwe refize, mwen pap aksepte
Pou nou reziyen, san n'pa esaye
Si nou pral goumen, goumen pou lapè...
Ou menm ave'm
Manman
Ou konnen lanmou mwen gen pou ou
S'on chay ki lou
Manman...
Un pas en avant,
3 pas an arriere
Si nou pral danse
Ann fe'l pou de vre
Tan ap ekoule
Annou leve pye'n
Pou nou sa vanse
Manman
Ou konnen lanmou mwen gen pou ou
S'on chay ki lou
Manman
Ou koule nan sanm, annou travay ansanm
Met tet ansanm
Mwe refize, mwen pap aksepte
Pou nou reziyen, san n'pa esaye
Si nou pral goumen, goumen pou lapè...
Ou menm ave'm
Manman
Ou konnen lanmou mwen gen pou ou
S'on chay ki lou
Manman...
The song "Manman" by Ayiiti is a deeply personal and emotional tribute to the singer's mother. The lyrics speak of a troubled relationship that has undergone transformation over time, with the singer now in a protective role towards his mother, after having been attacked in the past. The theme of protection and loyalty is woven through the song as the singer declares his love for his mother and pledges to work together with her to overcome any obstacles that may arise.
Despite the difficulties that they may face, the singer is steadfast in his belief that change is possible and necessary, and that they must continue moving forward, step by step. The lyrics seem to acknowledge the challenges and struggles that come with making progress and working through life's challenges, but the singer's message is one of hope and perseverance. It seems that he is urging his mother to continue to work with him to build a better future together, despite the setbacks they have faced in the past.
Overall, "Manman" is a powerful and moving tribute to the bond between a mother and son, and to the strength and resilience that can be found even in the face of difficult circumstances. Through its lyrics, Ayiiti speaks to the importance of family, love, and commitment, and reminds us that sometimes the most challenging relationships can be the most rewarding.

Jwet sa nap plede jwe
The game we're playing
Ap lonje dwet, akize
Pointing fingers, accusing
Pap mennen nou okenn kote
Won’t take us anywhere
Nap mete l'avni'n an danje
Putting our future in danger

Ann fe'l pou de vre
Let’s do it for real
Tan ap ekoule
Time is passing by
Annou leve pye'n
Let's lift our feet.
Pou nou sa vanse
So we can move forward.

Le clip est super beau, belle promotion d'Haiti ! Bravo Ayiiti
@ahuntsic81
Men sak Ayiti an. This is the positive vibe we need to bring to the world. Thank you Ayiiti to represent us proudly
@SharleyOne1
Je suis Guadeloupeene et bien fière de cette fille et de ce jolie clip. Trop de mauvais messages sur Haïti. Certaines personnes pensent qu'il n'y a pas de plages la bas.. Qu'il n'y a rien de beau. C'est triste. En tout très belle publicité pour ce beau pays. Foss ba zot Haïti. L'union fait la force.
