Une heure loin je pleure la mer
Un jour sans toi baby c'est trop beaucoup
Je vais pleurer un ocean
Toi que j'aime infiniment
San ou mon baby
Zanmen mon pou ere
Une minute j'pleure la riviere
Un jour sans toi baby c'est trop beaucoup
Ou pou blessent mon sentiment
Ca fait longtemps que je t'attends
San ou mon baby
De toi j'ai trop reve
Baby girl c'est ton amour ma seule richesse
C'est pour cela que j'ai toujours donner des caresses
Nous sommes seuls la faisons notre promesse
Que jamais nous va separer tu vas rester ma princesse
A chaque fois tu es absente mon connais vedir detresse
Quand tu es a mes cotes mon douleur le passe vitesse
Ne laissent pas Satan nous controle pour faire des mauvais gestes
Je vais pleurer un ocean pour que tu sois ma princesse
{au Refrain}
Je veux te faire savoir que mes paroles sont sinceres
Donne ou tout mon amour a koz ou kone mon vre valer
Si un jour on se separe tu vas me quitter en pleurs
Donne ou tout mon amour a koz ou kone mon vre valer
Parfois je suis coupable j'essaye declarer mon innocence
Tu me pardonne parce que tu m'aimes
Mais tu me donne aucune sentence
La seule facon doublier mes tracas c'est par ta presence
Une minute sans toi cherie je me sens en defaillance
{au Refrain}
Quand je suis avec toi la vie est vraiment un plaisir
I vre ou kontan mwan annou regardron fitir
Regarde moi dans les yeux et dis moi ce que tu desires
Je te promet sans aucun doute je vais tout accomplir
Letan i presye Oter mwan sa pli grand plezir
Serre-moi attrape-moi continue de tenir
Je veux donner ma vie pour voir ce sourire sur ta figure
Car si on se separe je sais que c'est moi qui vais souffrir
{au Refrain}
The lyrics to Dezil's song "San Ou" depict a deep love for someone who the singer cannot live without. He speaks of crying a river when she is gone for a minute, a sea when she is gone for an hour, but an ocean when she is gone for a day because being without her is just too much to handle. He proclaims his love for her, calling her "San Ou mon baby" and "Zanmen mon pou ere." The singer acknowledges the value of their relationship and explains that her love is his only wealth. He promises to never let Satan control them to do bad things and to make her his princess by crying an ocean for her.
The singer also expresses his guilt but asserts that his words are sincere and that he wants to prove his love to her. He acknowledges that she forgives him because she loves him and his only comfort and escape from his struggles is her presence. The lyrics affirm that when he is with her, life is pleasant, and he is willing to give his life to see her smile, emphasizing that if they separate, he will be the one to suffer. The singer declares his loyalty, love, and devotion to her throughout the song, reminding her that even though he may make mistakes, she is his everything, and he will never give up on their love.
