Doudou pouki ou pa là, kè en mwen sérré mwen anvi pléré
Assé pran an vi an mwen lanmou passé pa rété
I té bèl kon arc en ciel
Mè pran koulè pa té fèt pou mwen
Montré vou ki an ciel là, divisé longuè la peine an mwen
Pass la pli ki déro là, fè débodé dlo a kè an mwen.
Karess aw doudou lè la pli ka tombé
Koloré a quan ciel là vini nouai
A telman content,
content kon pipiri et posé si branche pou palé de lanmou

The song "La Plisitol" by Chiktay tells a story of two people in love spending time together in a small house during a rainy day. The first verse speaks of the rain, which is personified as a singer of love, singing through the night, while the singer's heart is in pain missing their loved one. The second verse talks about love that has passed and about how beautiful it was when it lasted but now it is gone, and the colors that the rainbows bring are nothing now but a mere illusion. The singer then sings about how the rain that pours now is so intense that it overflows their heart with sadness, making them cry.
The chorus repeats a mantra that the singer needs to be held to ease the pain and to remind their loved one not to cry and to be the sunshine in their life because they are the only one that can make them happy. The bridge talks about a third person being present in the room with them, an "aute Doudou," and how the singer watches and listens to them while this is happening. The last verse is again about the rain, and how it makes the singer feel alone and sad.
Overall, the song uses the metaphor of the rain as a symbol for sadness, heartache, and longing for love. It also emphasizes the importance of being held and comforted by loved ones during those difficult moments.
