Port Salut En 1941
Joe Jack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pè bawon, tout moun te konnen l
Yon libera te vin pou chante
Se te pou madam Dumornay
Lè libera vin pou l peye
Pè a deklare, libera monte
2 goud a chak libera
Pè a te vle touche yon dola
Pè a te vle touche yon dola
Istwa pè Bawon nan Tòbèk
Chak kout zepon l se tèktègèdèk
Yo ba l yon lajan pou klòch
Li pran sa l ale nan banbòch
Lè pèp la soti pou afiche l
Mon pè tèlman emosyonèl
Mon pè tèlman pote l mal
Li kouri l pran kabann lopital
Mon pè tèlman pote l mal
Li kouri l pran kabann lopital
Pawas la ba l 800 goud
Pou kòmande yon nòtredam de Loud
Te genyen konpè Loulou
Ki konn fè bèl stati joujou
Pè a wè stati a bèl
Li pran sa l mete l sou lotèl
Li di fidèl men vyèj la
Sa pi chè
Nou dwe m on kòb anba
Li di fidèl men vyèj la
Sa pi chè
Nou dwe m on kòb anba
Ayyyyy pè Bawon nan Tòbèk
Chak kout zepon l se tèktègèdèk
Istwa pè Bawon nan Tòbèk
Chak kout zepon l se tèktègèdèk
Ayyyyy pè Bawon nan Tòbèk
Chak kout zepon l se tèktègèdèk
Istwa pè Bawon nan Tòbèk
Chak kout zepon l se tèktègèdèk
Tèktègèdèk...
Ayyyyy pè Bawon nan Tòbèk
Chak kout zepon l se tèktègèdèk
Pawas la ba l 800 goud
Pou kòmande yon nòtredam de Loud
Te genyen konpè Loulou
Ki konn fè bèl stati joujou
Pè a wè stati a bèl
Li pran sa l mete l sou lotèl
Li di fidèl men vyèj la
Sa pi chè
Nou dwe m on kòb anba
Li di fidèl men vyèj la
Sa pi chè
Nou dwe m yon kòb anba
The song "Port Salut En 1941" by Joe Jack appears to be a recounting of a historical event involving a priest named Pè Bawon in the town of Tòbèk. The lyrics discuss how everyone in the town knew Pè Bawon, a liberation came to sing, and it was for Madame Dumornay. When the liberation came to pay, Pè Bawon declared that each liberation should be paid two goud, and he wanted to touch a dollar. The story shifts to Pè Bawon's history in Tòbèk, where every time someone struck him, he made the sound "tèktègèdèk," and he received money for every hit. He took the money and went out and enjoyed himself, but when the people in the town put up signs with his name, he became overwhelmed and had to be taken to the hospital.
The lyrics go on to talk about how Pè Bawon was given 800 goud to command a "nòtredam de Loud," and there was a man named konpè Loulou who could make beautiful toys. Pè Bawon saw the toy and thought it was beautiful, so he took it and put it in a hotel. He told an old friend that it was expensive and they needed to pay for it. The song concludes by repeating the verse about Pè Bawon's ability to make the sound "tèktègèdèk" and how it was tied to his history in Tòbèk.
