Kwak Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
E peson pa janmin rivé fey arreté
Tou sa tan pou kompran' ké sé ou mwen biswen
Nou té kon dé planet' ka tounin san touché
Ou vini bò mwen poté l'embelli
2: Mwen envi palé baw gadé zyé'w ka briyé, baléyé la po mwen kon van adan savan'
Ou rivé avoué, sa ou ka risanti
Mwen vini koté'w posé la vi mwen
Refrain (bis): pa biswen mennen mwen loin
Cé l'anmou'w ka fè mwen voyajé
Cé dousè la po'w ki niaje mwen
Pé mennen mwen
3: E mem' si ou pè pou démin, oubliyé lé passé
Avancé l'anmou ka guidé nou
Mennen mwen
(Kè): Ouhhhh inmin mwen
Ouhhh vlopé mwen
Ouhhh chayé mwen
Ouhhh mennen mwen ...
