Vann dlo
BélO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Moun yo, men dlo a (moun yo, men dlo)
Moun yo, men dlo a (moun yo, men dlo)
Moun yo, men dlo a (moun yo, men dlo)
M ap bat dlo pou m fè bè
Paske mwen renmen lavi vre
M p ap antre nan move zafè
M ta renmen woule yon bèl oto
Men sepandan mwen poko
M poko kapab
M ap fè tout sa m konnen
Pou tchovi yo ka miyò demen
M Pito
M pito, m pito
M pito vann dlo, m pito vann dlo (m pito vann dlo)
M pito mache nan solèy cho (nan soley cho)
M pito vann dlo, m pito vann dlo (m pito vann dlo)
Pou m fè edikasyon timoun yo avan m ale
Se pa chak jou m ta pran lari a
M oblije satiyèt lavi a
Gen de jou, m pa gen kòb taksi a
Men fòk mwen soti, m pa gen ′le choix', no
M pa janm gen tan pou timoun yo
Lè mwen antre, yo gentan fè dodo
M ap fè tout sa m kapab
Demen, fòk yo sitwayen valab
Mwen pito
M pito, m pito
M pito vann dlo, m pito vann dlo (m pito vann dlo)
M pito mache ak yon boyo (nan solèy cho)
M pito vann dlo, m pito vann dlo (m pito vann dlo)
Lord! Pou m fè edikasyon tchovi yo avan m ale
M ap redi, gras Bondye
M p ap janm dekouraje
Menm si m konnen anpil gout swe gen pou l tonbe
Toutotan tèt mwen pa koupe
Te mèt se yon chapo pay, m ap espere
Moun yo, men dlo a (moun yo, men dlo)
Moun yo, men dlo a (moun yo, men dlo)
Moun yo, men dlo a (moun yo, men dlo)
Moun yo, men dlo a (moun yo, men dlo)
Manman m, oh (men dlo a)
Manman m, oh (men dlo a)
Manman m, manman m, Manman m (men dlo a)
Manman m, oh (men dlo a)
Mwen pito van dlo, m pito vann dlo, m pito vann dlo
M pito (m pito vann dlo)
Mwen pito van dlo, pito vann dlo, m pito vann dlo
M pito kole boyo(nan solèy cho)
Manman m, oh (men dlo a)
Manman m, oh (men dlo a)
Manman m, manman m, Manman m (men dlo a)
Manman m, oh (men dlo a)
Ou konnen nan lavi, nanpwen so metye
Yon nonm pou reyisi, fò w pa pè lite
M pa janm tande yo di ke malere se yon peche
M ap goumen pou m edike pitit mwen ak diyite
Manman m, oh (men dlo a)
Manman m, oh (men dlo a)
Manman m, manman m, Manman m (men dlo a)
Manman m, oh
The song "Vann dlo" by BélO is a call to action to provide access to clean drinking water to people in Haiti. The repeated chorus "Moun yo, men dlo a" means "people, hand me the water" and reflects the struggle that many Haitians face in obtaining safe drinking water. The lyrics also express BélO's desire to make a positive impact in his community by selling water to support education for children.
The verses highlight the challenges that BélO faces in trying to live a good life and achieve his goals while also recognizing the harsh realities of life in Haiti. He dreams of driving a nice car, but acknowledges that he is not yet able to do that. Instead, he strives to do his best and use his skills and resources to make a difference in his community. BélO also mentions the struggles that many daily wage earners face when they don't have the money for a taxi and must walk long distances in the heat.
Overall, "Vann dlo" is a song about resilience, hope, and community support. BélO's lyrics convey a sense of determination to succeed despite the challenges he faces, and his desire to help others do the same.

Moun yo, men dlo a (moun yo, men dlo)
People, bring water
M ap bat dlo pou m fè bè
I am fetching water to beautify my surroundings
Paske mwen renmen lavi vre
Because I love life truly
M p ap antre nan move zafè
I won’t engage in bad things
Menm si se vre lavi di
Even if life says it’s true
M ta renmen woule yon bèl oto
I’d like to drive a beautiful car
Men sepandan mwen poko
But I’m not there yet
M poko kapab
I’m not able yet
M ap fè tout sa m konnen
I’m doing everything I know
Pou tchovi yo ka miyò demen
So that children can have a better tomorrow
M Pito
I would rather
M pito vann dlo, m pito vann dlo (m pito vann dlo)
I would rather sell water, sell water
M pito mache nan solèy cho (nan soley cho)
I would rather walk in the hot sun
Pou m fè edikasyon timoun yo avan m ale
To educate children before I leave
Se pa chak jou m ta pran lari a
I can’t take to the streets every day
M oblije satiyèt lavi a
I have to satisfy life’s demands
Gen de jou, m pa gen kòb taksi a
There are days when I don’t have taxi fare
Men fòk mwen soti, m pa gen ′le choix', no
But I have to go out, there's no choice
M pa janm gen tan pou timoun yo
I never have time for the children
Lè mwen antre, yo gentan fè dodo
When I come in, they’re already asleep
M ap fè tout sa m kapab
I’m doing everything I can
Demen, fòk yo sitwayen valab
Tomorrow, they must be responsible citizens
M ap redi, gras Bondye
I will stay steadfast, thanks to God
M p ap janm dekouraje
I will never be discouraged
Menm si m konnen anpil gout swe gen pou l tonbe
Even if there are many drops of sweat to come
Toutotan tèt mwen pa koupe
As long as I don’t give up
Te mèt se yon chapo pay, m ap espere
If being a master is a paid hat, I hope
Manman m, oh (men dlo a)
My mother, oh (bring water)
Mwen pito van dlo, m pito vann dlo, m pito vann dlo
I would rather sell water, sell water, sell water
M pito kole boyo(nan solèy cho)
I would rather carry a bucket (in the hot sun)
Ou konnen nan lavi, nanpwen so metye
You know in life, there's no easy career
Yon nonm pou reyisi, fò w pa pè lite
To succeed, you must not fear struggle
M pa janm tande yo di ke malere se yon peche
I never hear them say that being poor is a sin
M ap goumen pou m edike pitit mwen ak diyite
I’m fighting to raise my children with dignity
