Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mwen renmen'l, mwen renmenl

Mwen konprann ke li nesesè pou vinn palé avèw, mwen menm trouvel

indispansab pou vinn mandew pou li, mwen rete kwè'w gen w mo pou di
avan pou m viv avèl,
ou se manman'l, m konnen'w soufert anpil pou li, ou pote'l nèf mwa, ou bal nesans leducation,
se vre mwen fou pou li, mwen renmenl ak tout coeur'm,

mwen pa konn kisa m ta bay, pou li ka viv heureuse, je nan tet mwen pou li,
sentiment m pap kouri, mwen renmenl pou lavi, mwen ta swetew di mwen. Manman'

Pa inquietew m konn la priè, na va travay poun jwenn manje, m pap fè betiz la societé
