Let's Make It Work
Klass Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lè w gen on lanmou k pati paske w t ap fè l soufri
Pa di w pa gen chans oh
Se tout moun ki vle viv, tout moun bezwen on refuge
Bezwen asurans yo
Li lè li tan pou lavi mwen chanje
Sa fè lontan lontan de je m avegle
Mwen jwe a lenbesil menm pap ka fè tout dèfwa
Si ou gen konsyans ou ka wè m pèdi pasyans
M fè twòp konpwomi zantray mwen ap febli
Se tout moun ki wè li janm bay tan m, jan m envesti
Eske m ka chwazi bay tout sa m genyen
Pandan m pap jwenn anyen
Lavièj kote w ye
Se ou k wè tout efò m fè
Si jodya lanmou nou nan koma oh oh
Doudou mwen nou toulède koz sa
I still want you, I'm so in love with you oh oh
We have too much to lose, let's make it work
Lenmi m, zanmi m, menm fanmi m ak veye m
Pou wè kilè m pral dezète, kilè nou pral abandone
Mwen menm avèw gen on defi pou n leve
Lè m fè sak bon fòw apresye l
M pa vle pèson vin di m ke m te mal kalkile
M gen enpresyon ke le temps fèw konplezant
Ou pran feblès mwen pou aki, ou neglije m ou fè m soufri
Mwen menm avèw gen on defi pou n leve
Lè m fè efò fòw apresye l
M pa vle pèson vin di mwen ke m te mal kalkile
Baby le's make it work
Woy woy woy cherie men Pipo wi
Bruno, kenbe cheri a
Cheri ou sonje jan w te konn love m, I miss that
Nou pa layi nou pa laya, men konpa
Oh oh oh oh
Pa bezwen remonte le temps, on connait deja les raisons
On lanmou ki te tankou yon flanm dife
Li tounen sann pou w voye jete
Cheri fòw pa bliye ou te sèmante douvan on sosyete
Mwen ta renmen lavi nou chanje men sa m ta pwopoze w
Yon ti bo le matin manman - Cheri wi se pral sa nèt
On ti priz tanzantan cheri mwen - Cheri wi se pral sa nèt
Jou n ta priyorize relasyon n - wi se pral sa nèt
Jou n ta tounen kòm avan - Cheri wi se pral sa nèt
Lè n te tankou de timoun fou
Pa bezwen remonte le temps, on connait deja les raisons
On lanmou ki te tankou yon flanm dife
Li tounen sann pou w voye jete
Cheri fòw pa bliye out e sèmante douvan on sosyete
Mwen ta renmen lavi nou chanje
Nou pa layi nou laya
Oh oh oh oh
Tobo zanmi m
Lèse l ale
Don't wanna cry no more, we can be like before
My love, let's find a way to make it work
The song "Let's Make It Work" by Klass is a ballad about the struggle to keep a relationship together when love fades and circumstances change. The lyrics touch on the idea that everyone needs a safe haven or a place to call home, and all people need some form of insurance in order to maintain this feeling of security. The first verse speaks about a love that has left and the pain that the singer is feeling, while the chorus acknowledges that there is too much at stake to let the relationship fail. The second verse talks about the singer's struggle to maintain their dignity and self-respect in a situation where they feel undervalued. It ends with the repetition of the chorus, with the singer pleading to work to restore the love that has been lost.
The song is in the genre of Konpa, which originated in the Caribbean nation of Haiti. Konpa music incorporates a variety of musical influences, including African rhythms, French ballads, and Latin American music. Many Konpa songs explore themes of love and romance, and the genre is considered a staple of Haitian culture.

Lè w gen on lanmou k pati paske w t ap fè l soufri
When you have a love that falls apart, it hurts you
Pa di w pa gen chans oh
Don't say that you have no chance
Se tout moun ki vle viv, tout moun bezwen on refuge
Everyone who wants to live needs a refuge
Bezwen asurans yo
They need assurance
Li lè li tan pou lavi mwen chanje
It's time for my life to change
Sa fè lontan lontan de je m avegle
It's been so long since I've been blind
Eske m ka chwazi pou mwen bay san resevwa
Can I choose to give without receiving?
Mwen jwe a lenbesil menm pap ka fè tout dèfwa
I'm playing the fool, but I can't make all the right moves
Si ou gen konsyans ou ka wè m pèdi pasyans
If you're aware, you can see me losing my patience
M fè twòp konpwomi zantray mwen ap febli
I'm making too many compromises, and my inside is getting weaker
Se tout moun ki wè li janm bay tan m, jan m envesti
Everyone who sees it invests the time to do it right
Eske m ka chwazi bay tout sa m genyen
Can I choose to give all that I have?
Pandan m pap jwenn anyen
While I won't get anything in return
Lavièj kote w ye
Where you are in life
Se ou k wè tout efò m fè
It's up to you to see all the effort I put in
Si jodya lanmou nou nan koma oh oh
If today our love is in a coma
Doudou mwen nou toulède koz sa
My love, we should talk about this
I still want you, I'm so in love with you oh oh
I still want you, I'm so in love with you
We have too much to lose, let's make it work
We have too much to lose, let's make this work
Lenmi m, zanmi m, menm fanmi m ak veye m
Enemies, friends, even my family is watching me
Pou wè kilè m pral dezète, kilè nou pral abandone
To see when I'll desert, when we'll abandon each other
Mwen menm avèw gen on defi pou n leve
I myself have a challenge to rise up
Lè m fè sak bon fòw apresye l
When I do something good, appreciate it
M pa vle pèson vin di m ke m te mal kalkile
I don't want anyone to say that I miscalculated
M gen enpresyon ke le temps fèw konplezant
I have the impression that time does you a favor
Ou pran feblès mwen pou aki, ou neglije m ou fè m soufri
You take advantage of my weakness, neglect me or make me suffer
Mwen menm avèw gen on defi pou n leve
I myself have a challenge to rise up
Lè m fè efò fòw apresye l
When I make an effort, appreciate it
M pa vle pèson vin di mwen ke m te mal kalkile
I don't want anyone to say that I miscalculated
Baby le's make it work
Baby, let's make it work
Woy woy woy cherie men Pipo wi
Hey hey hey honey, it's Pipo
Bruno, kenbe cheri a
Bruno, hold on to your love
Cheri ou sonje jan w te konn love m, I miss that
Baby, remember how you used to love me, I miss that
Nou pa layi nou pa laya, men konpa
We're not finished, we're not over, but simply konpa
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Pa bezwen remonte le temps, on connait deja les raisons
We don't need to turn back time, we already know the reasons
On lanmou ki te tankou yon flanm dife
A love that was like a flame on fire
Li tounen sann pou w voye jete
It's turned to sand that you'll throw away
Cheri fòw pa bliye ou te sèmante douvan on sosyete
Darling, don't forget that you made a promise in front of society
Mwen ta renmen lavi nou chanje men sa m ta pwopoze w
I would like our life to change, but this is what I suggest to you
Yon ti bo le matin manman - Cheri wi se pral sa nèt
A little breakfast in the morning, Mom - Darling, that's definitely happening
On ti priz tanzantan cheri mwen - Cheri wi se pral sa nèt
A little surprise, my love - Darling, that's definitely happening
Jou n ta priyorize relasyon n - wi se pral sa nèt
A day when we'll prioritize our relationship - That's definitely happening
Jou n ta tounen kòm avan - Cheri wi se pral sa nèt
The day we'll go back to how it was - Darling, that's definitely happening
Lè n te tankou de timoun fou
When we were like crazy kids
Nou pa layi nou laya
We're not finished, we're not over
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Tobo zanmi m
Goodbye my friend

Let it go
Don't wanna cry no more, we can be like before
I don't want to cry anymore, we can be like before
My love, let's find a way to make it work
My love, let's find a way to make it work
