An ka sonjé jounen an mwen
Moman pasé avè'w
San janmen rivé touché'w
Fimen an sigarèt
Lè nou té tètatèt
Sa pa ban mwen pon fòs
Pou di'w jan mwen enmé'w
Mwen enmé'w doudou
Mé mwen pa ka rivé di'w sa
Mwen enmé'w baby
Poukwa an pé pa di'w sa non, non
Mwen enmé'w toujou
Lanmou an nou an détrès
Mwen enmé'w baby
Adan tout rèv an mwen
Sé vou ki koté mwen
Mé lè mwen ka lévé oh sugar
Ou ka lévé an dòt koté
La vi konsa pou mwen
Pa ka sèvi ayen non, non
Lapenn é solitid
Ka vin an labitid
É ya, é ya, é ya, é ya, é ya, é ya
Mwen enmé'w doudou
Mé man pa ka rivé di'w sa
Mwen enmé'w baby
Poukwa pé di'w sa, non, non
Mwen enmé'w toujou
Lanmou-an nou an détrès
Mwen enmé'w baby
Enmé
Lavi san vou doudou sé yen ki tristès é mélankoli

These lyrics are from the song "Enme" by Dominique Bernier, which is in the Haitian Creole language. The song seems to be a confession of love from the artist to their partner, expressing how they are constantly thinking about them and how their love is intense and consuming. The lyrics paint a picture of a relationship where the artist feels a connection with their partner that goes beyond physical touch and is deeply emotional.
The first verse talks about the artist's memories of spending time with their partner, smoking cigarettes and feeling close to each other. Even though they don't have the strength to say it, they love their partner dearly. The chorus, which repeats frequently throughout the song, reinforces this message of love - "Mwen enmé'w doudou, mwen enmé'w baby, poukwa an pé pa di'w sa non, non" which roughly translates to "I love you sweetheart, I love you baby. Why can't I say that to you?"
The second verse describes how the artist's partner is the center of their world and how thinking about them is what makes everything else worthwhile. The artist compares their love to a habit, saying that loneliness and sadness become a habit when their partner is not around. The song ends with the repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the message of the intense love that the artist has for their partner.
