The lyrics of Jocelyne Béroard's song "Kaye Manman" speak of a meaningful journey. The singer invites the listener to grab a paper and pencil so she can give them direction on how to arrive at a specific place without getting lost. The location is where her mother's house is, a place she refers to as "kaye manman" where she, the singer, used to reside. The directions are clear, and she tells the listener to head to Belvedere, turn left, and climb up the hill. She mentions a particular white house that is not the one she is looking for, and she says they should seek guidance from people in the area to find her mother's house.
The chorus of the song is quite repetitive, with the singer warning that the house will shake if it is desecrated, shaken by anything aside from music. She sings about the struggles one faces with the journey, emphasizing the importance of getting guidance from those who know the area. She speaks of how the music washes away all the troubles and burdens one might have, leading to a harmonious experience. She also mentions how the sunrise and sets do not affect her and that she will sleep until she is ready to awaken, unlike her mother's house, which is lively and vibrant, always ready to groove to music.

Je cherche des mots pour m'exprimer pour dire ce que je ressens malheureusement je n'en trouve pas. Je suis tellement nostalgique de cette époque franchement j'ai envie de pleurer.

Vraiment,pourquoi ai je les mêmes sentiments ?
@beugsarew490
J'ai le même sentiment que vous. Si on pouvait reculer le temps d'une quarantaine d'années ce serait merveilleux. L'adolescence est l'âge d'or malgré les études
@user-ib9cq6xc3t
Vraiment je la ressens toujours dans mon passé ambiance

Je suis de 1982.Infiniment merci au groupe mythique et seul groupe a ce juste titre que le monde a connu. Étrangement, Beroad ressemble à Michael Jackson...
