Let it flow yo!
Si ou vle gran kou élefant
Otorité tankou ti foumin
Si ou vle gouvèné lakou sa
Li gen règ li fow obeyil
Si tout bon ou vle sa chanje frem
Ou mande pou droitw respecter
Tandis kew pa respecter pam
Fow kon droitm koumanse
Kot droit paw fini
Droit paw fini kot pam koumanse
Non, non, non
Dread nati dread lock
Nou vle changement
Nou pas vle guerre,
Nou vle lapè
Oh non, non
Dread nati dread lock
Nou vle pou sa chanje
Pou lakou a ka trankil, trankil
Nou vle lakou a trankil
Fok lakou a vinn trankil
Gad kijan lakou a kraze
Droit timoun yo pa respecter
Moralité pas exister anko
Men timoun yo pa anvi jouer
Ambition fait nou ignorer
Principe de base yon societe
Trahison fait nou negliger
Principe granmoun mouri kite
Si tout moun pa ka decider ensemb
Filin discod nan lakou a yeah
Se va yon devoir pou tout rasta man
Pou mete lod, mete lod, mete lod, yeah
Dread nati dread lock
Nou vle changement
Nou pas vle guerre,
Nou vle lapè, nou vle lapè

Fok lakou a vinn trankil
Trankil, cite soleil, trankil, moun belair trankil trankil.
The lyrics to BélO's song Lakou trankil convey the desire for change and peace in a community that is suffering from a lack of respect, morals, and principles. The song speaks to the need for everyone to come together and work towards a peaceful solution that includes respecting each other's rights and making decisions together. The lyrics describe the current state of the community, where basic principles are disregarded and children are not being taught moral values. The singer emphasizes the importance of ambition and the role it plays in society, and how it can distract from the basic principles that govern a community. The song encourages everyone to take responsibility for their actions and work towards the betterment of their community.
Throughout the song, the singer uses the phrase "Dread nati dread lock," which is a reference to Rastafarianism and the belief in freedom, justice, and equality. The phrase is also a reference to the singer's own hair, which is styled in dreadlocks. The song ultimately calls for change and peace within the community, and emphasizes the importance of everyone working together towards a common goal.
