Ke'm poze
Beethova Obas Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yon samba ke'm rankontre
stidyo dore
gade'm nan je
pou'l di'm Beethova
ou s'on nèg nago k'trase kongo
nan moman se sal wè
des années lumières m'pase
m'son ekwasyon k'ap devlope

se sa'k fè kè'm poze

m'kon'n ki bø m'pwale
anlè m'ap gade
atè a m'ap leve
jou pa'm nan rive
kè'm poze
(2fwa)
wololoyyy
Wi samba
depi lalfa
nou ekziste
jouk lomega
lonbrik nou mare
sou tout føm nan limanite
tè van dlo dife
kilanswa patisyon wap jwe
sou do økès la repoze

kè'm poze

m'konn ki bø m'prale
anlè map gade

atè a m'ap leve
jou pa'm nan rive

(2 fwa)
wololoy

Wi samba
nou gen mach pou'n eskalade
løt galaksi pou n'al vizite
sonje fè sa'w te vin'n regle
sou wout linivè
g'on eskal yo rele latè
desan'n men piga'w ret atè
kè'm poze
m'konn ki bø'm prale
anlè m'ap gade
atè a m'ap leve
jou pa'm nan rive
kè'm poze
(3 fwa)
wololoyyy
kè'm poze

kè'm poze
kè'm poze

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Beethova Obas's song "Ke'm poze" present a story of someone who's been through a lot, but now has found a place of tranquility and calmness. The singer of the song talks about meeting someone, perhaps a lover or a friend, at a studio where they talk about him being a "neg nago k'trase kongo," which translates to "a man who traces his roots to Congo." The singer then reflects on how despite the distance he has traveled, and the equations he has developed, he has finally found a place of rest and peace.

The chorus of the song, which is repeated several times, talks about this place of rest and peace, where the singer is just taking the time to pause and enjoy the moment. He knows that there are still challenges ahead, and that he has come a long way already, but he just wants to take the time to rest and enjoy the moment.

One interesting aspect of the song is how it blends Haitian folk music with jazz and other modern elements. Beethova Obas is known for his unique style of music, which often blends different genres and influences from around the world. Another interesting fact is that the song was released in 2002 as part of Beethova Obas's album "Pa Prese," which was critically acclaimed and won several awards.
