Te de grenn dwèt
Nan yon pla men
Nou tou de
Te inseparab
Relasyon nou te stab
Sikonstans lavi
Fòse paran′m
Depeyize
M'al ateri lwen lwen
Se pi gwo màl
Papa′m fè'm
Se pi gwo màl
Manman'm fè
Se kòm si yo
T′anpwazonnen′m
Se kòm si yo
Asasinen'm
San yo pakonnen
Jou san deside
Mwen pap ka

Ap tann

The song M'ap Fou by Harmonik is a heart-wrenching and poignant song, with lyrics that speak to the pain of separation and being away from loved ones. The song opens with the singer lamenting his separation from someone he loves deeply, someone he was inseparable from, and with whom he had a stable relationship. The circumstances of life and the situation of the country forced his parents to make a tough decision that they had to emigrate without him.
The chorus repeats the phrase 'se pi gwo mal' ('it's the biggest problem') and lists out his parents' leaving him as that biggest problem, and he feels as if they poisoned him, assassinated him. Yet he has no choice but to accept the situation while all others around him are waiting for him with diplomas while he is just a delinquent. The verse highlights his sense of despair on this issue where the wound in his heart is too profound for him to ignore.
The bridge of the song is a reminiscing moment, where the singer recalls the beauty of his homeland and how he misses it so dearly. The outro speaks of his inability to adjust to a foreign country, further emphasizing the longing for home.
