Bèl Fanm
Michael Benjamin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fon ti chita pou nou palé
Love sa ki anté nou
Sé li kap fèm decontrolé
Ti ko nègèss ou
Ti jé nègèss ou fèm révé
Yon ti caress ou, siffi pou fè tout ko'm frissoné
Jan'w boujé ko ou
Leu'm gadé nan zeu'w, sé yon lanmè lanmou kapé kléré
(refrain)
Cheri ou gen fanm sou ou
Ou gen convèsasion é sensasion
Ou banmwen kapab fè mwen fou
Ou montré'm affeksion a chak minite
Pendan lan nuit jouk li jou
Ou montré mwen couraj ak dévosion
Cheri ou son bénédiksion bon Dié voyé
Bèl fanm peyi an nou
Fon ti chita pou nou cozé
Kité'm ba ou lanmou
Leu ou nan bra'm lèssé'w alé
Tankou yon soleil, ki lévé pou kléré chemin
Ou sé sèl mèvèy, sèl bijou ki konté nan zeu mwen
Yon bèl simfoni
Ki fè'm vibré, fè mwen jémi
Et ki fè'm santi, yon frisson kap diré a linfini
(refrain)
Yo, sa sé pou tout fanm kréyol an nou
Mwen di sa sé pou tout bèl fanm kréyol an nou
Never wanna hurt you, baby
Never wanna hurt you
I dont wanna loose you, darling
I dont wanna hurt you
Never wanna hurt you, baby
Never wanna hurt you
I dont wanna loose you, darling
I dont wanna loose you
Ou sé sèl fanm ki fèm kriyé
Ou sé sèl fanm ki fèm chanté
Ou sé sèl famn ke mwen renmen
Paské'w sé fanm peyi an mwen
Ou sé sèl ki fèm dansé
Ou sé sèl fanm ki fèm chanté
Ou sé sèl fanm mwen renmen
Ou sé sèl fanm kréyol mwen
Never wanna hurt you, baby
Never wanna hurt you
I dont wanna loose you, darling
I dont wanna loose you
Never wanna hurt you, baby
Never wanna hurt you
I dont wanna loose you, darling
I dont wanna loose you
Wowoo wowoo, fanm sa fè mwen high
Wowoo wowoo, she makes me want to touch the sky
Wowoo wowoo, fanm sa fè mwen high
wowoo wowoo, feel so high
Ou sé sèl fanm ki fèm kriyé
Ou sé sèl fanm ki fèm chanté
Ou sé sèl famn ke mwen renmen
Paské'w sé fanm peyi an mwen
Ou sé sèl fanm ki fèm kriyé
Ou sé sèl fanm ki fèm chanté
Ou sé sèl fanm mwen renmen
Ou sé fanm peyi en mwen
