Klass Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mwen te toujou konn ap siveye
Kile papa'm ap antre
Lem vinn grandi mwen gen lespri
Se le sa m'realise papa'm se mesie marie
Chak fwa pou'l rankontre'm se nan kache se nan sere
Se toujou avek dlo nan je
Chak fwa pou'l rankontre'm se nan kache se nan sere
Mwen di hey, mpa vle moun konprann map vinn defann vagabond
Se pa konn mpa konn papa'm pa gen reson
Men kisa'm fe poum mande padon
Madan marie voye pie, se tout dwa'l men'l pa panse
Mwen pat mande poum existe
Papa'm vle supote'm men madanm li oppose,
I know why, paske mwen se pitit deyo
(Klass it is baby, yes it is baby)
(Nixon aya man)
(yes ay)
(Klass it is baby, yes it is baby)
Mwen konnen papam anto paske'm se pitit deyo
Mande marie tanpri banm yon ti chans
Se mwen pa mwen'k te mande fet
E pa kwe papam regret
Mande marie tanpri banm yon ti chans
Se pa yon bagay ki fasil yon fwaye'k pa ekilibre
Manmanm panse mise anpil
De fwa'l gade'm li tonbe kriye
Question'm genyen pou ou madanm
Kijan'w tap santiw nan plas mwen
Eskew pa tap soufri, pa tap jemi
Banm yon ti chans tanpri woo
(kalito aya man)
(mwen di woy woy gade mise mwen)
(mwen di woy woy gade touman mwen)
Peyi'm gen on bann moun konsa ladann
Yon paket pitit deyo ladann
Yon bann timoun sa papa ladann
Sa pa ladann sa pa ladann
Repeat
Mwen di li pa bon, sa pa bon
The song "Pitit Deyo" by Klass is about the hardships that children born out of wedlock face. The singer narrates how he used to watch over his mother while she waited for his father to come and visit him. As he grew older, he realized that his father had married someone else, and he was just a "pitit deyo" (child outside) who his father could only meet in secret. Despite this, he takes pride in who he is and refuses to let anyone judge him. He asks his stepmother for forgiveness and for a chance to prove himself. He acknowledges that it is not easy being a child born out of wedlock, but he embraces his identity nonetheless.
The lyrics convey a message of resilience and self-acceptance. The singer refuses to be defined by societal norms and refuses to let his father's actions define him. He acknowledges that being a "pitit deyo" is not an easy journey, but he takes pride in his identity and hopes to prove himself to his stepmother.
Overall, the song is a call to people to embrace and accept those born outside of wedlock. It highlights the struggles that these children face and how they can overcome them.

Depi le mwen te tou piti
Ever since I was a child
Mwen te toujou konn ap siveye
I always used to stay up late
Kile papa'm ap antre
When my father comes home
Lem vinn grandi mwen gen lespri
As I grew up, I became smarter
Se le sa m'realise papa'm se mesie marie
It was then I realized my father is a married man
Chak fwa pou'l rankontre'm se nan kache se nan sere
Every time he met me, it was in hiding and in secret
Se toujou avek dlo nan je
He always had tears in his eyes
Paske mwen se pitit deyo
Because I am an illegitimate child
Mwen di hey, mpa vle moun konprann map vinn defann vagabond
I say hey, I don't want people to understand that I'm becoming a defender of vagrants
Se pa konn mpa konn papa'm pa gen reson
I don't know if my father is without reason
Men kisa'm fe poum mande padon
But what can I do to ask for forgiveness?
Madan marie voye pie, se tout dwa'l men'l pa panse
Madan Marie got angry, it's her right, but she didn't think it through
Mwen pat mande poum existe
I didn't ask to exist
Papa'm vle supote'm men madanm li oppose,
My father wants to support me, but his wife is against it
I know why, paske mwen se pitit deyo
I know why, because I am an illegitimate child

Mwen konnen papam anto paske'm se pitit deyo
I know my dad is distant because I am an illegitimate child
Mande marie tanpri banm yon ti chans
Ask Madan Marie to give me a chance
Se mwen pa mwen'k te mande fet
It is not my fault that I was born
E pa kwe papam regret
And I don't think my father regrets it
Se pa yon bagay ki fasil yon fwaye'k pa ekilibre
It's not an easy thing, one mistake and it's unbalanced
Manmanm panse mise anpil
My mother thinks about it a lot
De fwa'l gade'm li tonbe kriye
Sometimes when she looks at me, she falls to tears
Question'm genyen pou ou madanm
I have a question for you, Madanm
Kijan'w tap santiw nan plas mwen
How would you feel if you were in my shoes?
Eskew pa tap soufri, pa tap jemi
Wouldn't you suffer and cry too?
Banm yon ti chans tanpri woo
Give me a chance, please, woo
(kalito aya man)
(Kalito, come on, man)
(mwen di woy woy gade mise mwen)
(I say wow, wow, look at my luck)
(mwen di woy woy gade touman mwen)
(I say wow, wow, look at my fate)
Peyi'm gen on bann moun konsa ladann
My country has a lot of people like that
Yon paket pitit deyo ladann
A lot of illegitimate children among them
Yon bann timoun sa papa ladann
Some of these children's fathers are present
Sa pa ladann sa pa ladann
Some are present, some are not
Mwen di li pa bon, sa pa bon
I say it's not good, it's not right
