Joe Jack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mwen sonje lèm te jèn gason
Mwen te renmen yon ti pitit
Si nou konnen kisa li fèm
Kwak sa pase lontan
Chak fwa m rete sonje
Se kriye kem anvi kriye
Gen de moman nan lavi yon moun
Machèw san charite ala ou malonèt
On jou bondye gen pou piniw
On jou dimanch aprèmidi
Li twouve banm yon randevou
Pou nal pale de ti pawòl
Li reyini zanmi l pou yo sa vin koute Tout ti koze kem tape dil
Lèm vin konn sa
Mwen tèlman gen lapèn
Mwen te kwèm pa tap viv ankò
Machèw san charite alò ou malonèt
Yon jou bondye gen pou piniw
Ou twouve menm te di konsa
Yon nonm tankou mwen menm
Kisa pou ta va fè avèm
Ti pwofesè lekòl touche swasann dola
Nan ki sèso pou ta kwokem
Ou diw anfòm ou gra ou bèl fanm
Se pa mwen ou tap bay gaspiye w
Machèw san charite ala ou malonèt
Yon jou bondye gen pou piniw
Anpil ane vini pase, chak moun ap viv on bò
Chacun pour soi et Dieu pour tous
Dènyèman m gen nouvèl yo dim afè ou bon
E ke menm ou g′on kay nan kwings
Mwen menm mwen nan peyi m map viv kanmèm
Aprè dye m pap mande charite
Ma chè jou va jou vyen
Te mèt nan nan zèl trennen
Konnen yon jou na rankontre
Lè mwen rete mwen reflechi
Sim rete m byen panse
Mwen pa regrèt ou te kitem
Sil saji de Bèl fanm, bèl fanm anfòm pasew
Kounya se mwenk ta montrew sa
Malgre imilyasyon m, touman soufrans lapenn
Akoz de ou kem te sibi
Machè m pap sa bliyew menmsi yo dim sanwont
Se premye fanm kem te renmen
Malgre imilyasyon touman soufrans lapenn
Akoz de ou kem te sibi
Mache pap sa bliyew malgre yo dim se chen
Se premye fanm kem te renmen

Mwen sonje lèm te jèn gason
I remember when I was a young boy
Mwen te renmen yon ti pitit
I used to love a little girl
Si nou konnen kisa li fèm
If we only knew what happened long ago
Kwak sa pase lontan
What happened in the past
Chak fwa m rete sonje
Every time I remember
Se kriye kem anvi kriye
I feel like crying
Gen de moman nan lavi yon moun
There are some moments in someone's life
Gen bagay kew pa sa bliye
There are things you can't forget
Machèw san charite ala ou malonèt
A merchant without charity is dishonest
On jou bondye gen pou piniw
One day, God will hold you accountable
On jou dimanch aprèmidi
One Sunday afternoon
Li twouve banm yon randevou
You found me an appointment
Pou nal pale de ti pawòl
To talk about small things
Li reyini zanmi l pou yo sa vin koute Tout ti koze kem tape dil
He gathered his friends so they could come listen to all the little things I had to say
Lèm vin konn sa
When I found out about it
Mwen tèlman gen lapèn
I was so angry
Mwen te kwèm pa tap viv ankò
I thought I couldn't go on living
Yon nonm tankou mwen menm
A man like me
Kisa pou ta va fè avèm
What are we going to do?
Ti pwofesè lekòl touche swasann dola
The little schoolteacher touches a lot of dollars
Nan ki sèso pou ta kwokem
In what season will you find me?
Ou diw anfòm ou gra ou bèl fanm
You say you're in good shape, a great beautiful woman
Se pa mwen ou tap bay gaspiye w
It wasn't me who was wasting you
Anpil ane vini pase, chak moun ap viv on bò
Many years have passed, everyone is living on their own
Chacun pour soi et Dieu pour tous
Everyone for themselves and God for all
Dènyèman m gen nouvèl yo dim afè ou bon
Recently I heard news that your business is doing well
E ke menm ou g′on kay nan kwings
And that you even have a house in Queens
Mwen menm mwen nan peyi m map viv kanmèm
As for me, I'm still living in my country
Aprè dye m pap mande charite
After God, I won't ask for charity
Ma chè jou va jou vyen
My dear, days will come and go
Te mèt nan nan zèl trennen
I was lost in thought
Konnen yon jou na rankontre
I know that one day we'll meet
Lè mwen rete mwen reflechi
When I'm alone, I reflect
Sim rete m byen panse
If I stay and think well
Mwen pa regrèt ou te kitem
I don't regret you leaving me
Sil saji de Bèl fanm, bèl fanm anfòm pasew
If it's about a beautiful woman, a well-dressed woman
Kounya se mwenk ta montrew sa
Now I just have to show you that
Malgre imilyasyon m, touman soufrans lapenn
Despite my pretenses, there is still a lot of suffering and pain
Akoz de ou kem te sibi
Because of you, I suffered
Machè m pap sa bliyew menmsi yo dim sanwont
I won't forget the merchant's (mistreatment) even if they say it's insignificant
Se premye fanm kem te renmen
You were the first woman I loved
