Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nan lespri'm imaj ou efase
Apre tout sa'w fè
Nan zye'm ou pèdi valè
Lè'w kote'm
Konsyans mwen repwoche'm
Mwen pa ka fè vi'm ak yon moun ki pataje

Men se kè'm ki tolere'w (pou li se ou)

Se ou ki kòz lap fonksyone
Men se kè'm ou fin gate (avèk lanmou)
K'ap ban'm kouraj pou'm bliye sa'k pase

Sa mande yon ti tan
Jalouzi fè'm aji yon lòt jan
