Pari Nan Male'm
Belo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sa yon nonm fè se li w wè
Li pi fasil pou fè mal
Men fò w wè l pa nòmal
Sonje byen nou tout se frè
Pèsonn pa renmen mizè
Yon ti farouch tou banal
Lè bab kanmarad ou pran dife
Ale mete pa w la tranpe
Pa fè yon frè w sa w pa vle l fè w
Pou pa antisipe malè w
Lè ou pwente m ak yon dwèt
Ou gen kat lòt sou ou, yeah
Pa ri nan malè m, nan malè m, nan malè m
Pa ri nan malè m, nan malè m
Pa ri nan malè m, nan malè m, nan malè m
Pa ri nan malè, nan malè m
Pa ri nan malè m, nan malè m, nan malè m
Pa ri nan malè, nan malè m (oh-oh-oh)
Tande sa m di ou
Pa ri...
Nan malè mwen
Se Granmèt la, Jah, Jah
Depi Sion ki di nou
Padone frè n chak fwa
Nou sonje jan l renmen nou
Pa janm rann mal pou mal
Fò nou pa fè bosal
Sonje vwazinaj se bon dra blan
Padone frè w pou tout sa l fè w
Li lè pou ka chanje kè w
Lè ou pwente m ak yon dwèt
Ou gen kat lòt sou ou, yeah!
Pa ri nan malè m, nan malè m, nan malè m
Pa ri nan malè m, nan malè m
Pa ri nan malè m, nan malè m, nan malè m
Pa ri nan malè, nan malè m
Pa ri nan malè m, nan malè m, nan malè m
Pa ri nan malè, nan malè m (oh-oh-oh)
Tande sa m di ou
Pa ri nan malè mwen
W ap ri nan malè m
Ou bliye w se frè m
Oh, non, non, yeah!
Poutan si w te nan kè mwen
Ou ta wè janm renmen w
Lè w wè yon malè rive
Se pa jou sa l nan ou
Si yon nonm respekte Bondye
Fè enpe, pa fè tout
Lè w wè yon frè w ki about
Pa ri, pito w ede l
Lè bab kanmarad ou pran dife (non, non)
Ale mete pa w la tranpe
Pa fè yon frè w sa w pa vle l fè ou
Pou w pa antisipe malè w
Lè w mete yon dwèt sou mwen
Ou gen kat lòt sou ou
