Lyrics by: Arly Larivière
Poukisa poukisa
Poukisa w pa vle renmen m
Poukisa poukisa
A 6 heures du matin w reveye
Pou di m kijan lanmou kriminel
Ou enkosolab, pat menm ka pale
Rien qu′à t'écouter kè m ap ronger
Toujou ap kache sa m éprouver pou wou
De peur m pa gacher amitye n
Reyalize ke plis mwen ezite
Reyalize chans mwen ap diminye
Jodia m vle fè w yon aveu
Ou souri, ou di m sispann plezante
Sa twouble m ke w pa pran m au serieux
Ou di tout gaf ou fè mwen imbu de yo
Fè w panse w pèdi valè nan zye m
Pa genyen moun ki pa gen yon pase
Erreur de jeunesse pa dwe andikape n
Reyalize se lè w gen volonte
Reyalize ou kapab surmonter
Nenpòt baraj ou kontre
Poukisa poukisa
Poukisa w pa vle renmen m
Poukisa poukisa
Poukisa w pa tchenbe men m
Ou toujou ap rakonte m
Lavi pa janm fè w kado
Nenpòt sa pou posede
Se nan batay pou genyen l
Mwen paka orfri w lesyèl
Mwen pa pwomèt ou richès
Sèl garanti m ap ba ou
M ap renmen w ak tout sa m genyen
Poukisa poukisa
Poukisa w pa vle renmen m (por que)
Poukisa poukisa
Poukisa w pa tchenbe men m
(Tanpri di mwen pouki)
Poukisa poukisa
Poukisa w pa vle renmen m
(Ou inyore tout avans mwen yo)
Poukisa poukisa
Poukisa w pa tchenbe men m
Ou toujou ap rakonte m
Lavi pa janm fè w kado
Ninpòt sa pou posede
Se nan batay pou genyen l
Mwen paka orfri w lesyèl
Mwen pa pwomèt ou richès
Sèl garanti m ap ba ou
Se ke m ap renmen w ak tout mwenmenm
Oh oh oh oh
Dadou ti frè m
David gran frè m
Nou wè mizè mwen
Cheri pou ou pagen anyen ki twòp
Pare pou m sakrifye m
Chemen lanmou genyen zepin
Ansanm nou ka eskive yo
Depi se pou m ran ou heureuse
Anyen pa genyen pri
Bonheur ou se priyorite m
A wi se l′essentiel
Pou eksperyans nou fè
Moment de folie n konèt
Il n'y a plus rien pou n ap chèche
Rès wout la fò n fè l à deux
Epi pa okipe w de sa yo ka rankonte
Men li papa... wa degaje w
Cheri w kite m la ap gaspiye
The song "Poukisa" by Nu-Look, released in 2019, is a typical konpa love song filled with heartbreak and disappointment. The chorus repeats the words "Poukisa" (why) as the singer Arly Larivière questions his lover's lack of love and commitment towards him. In the first verse, he wakes up at 6 am and contemplates how love can be so cruel as he listens to his lover speaking. He realizes that he is hesitant to express his feelings for fear of ruining the friendship, and he is losing his voice as a musician. He decides to confess his love to his lover, hoping for a reciprocation of his feelings. In the second verse, he has a conversation with his lover, who never takes him seriously, and he feels undervalued. He acknowledges that everyone has a past and that it should not hinder their relationship. He also emphasizes that he cannot guarantee riches, but his love is genuine.
The song's lyrics are relatable and express the feelings of many who have experienced heartbreak and unrequited love, making it popular among konpa lovers. The melody is also catchy, with the use of a guitar, bass, and piano, creating a smooth and romantic atmosphere. The song's vocals are impressive, with the singer Arly Larivière's signature smooth and soulful sound.

Why, oh why
Poukisa w pa vle renmen m
Why don't you want to love me?
Poukisa poukisa
Why, oh why
Poukisa w pa tchenbe men m
Why don't you hold onto me?
A 6 heures du matin w reveye
At 6 in the morning, you wake up
Pou di m kijan lanmou kriminel
To tell me how cruel love can be
Ou enkosolab, pat menm ka pale
You're distant, can't even talk
Rien qu′à t'écouter kè m ap ronger
Just by listening, my heart aches for you
Toujou ap kache sa m éprouver pou wou
Always hiding how I feel for you
De peur m pa gacher amitye n
Afraid to ruin our friendship
Reyalize ke plis mwen ezite
Realizing I hesitate more
Reyalize chans mwen ap diminye
Realizing my chances are diminishing
Jodia m vle fè w yon aveu
Today I want to make a confession to you
Ou souri, ou di m sispann plezante
You smile, tell me to stop joking
Sa twouble m ke w pa pran m au serieux
It troubles me that you don't take me seriously
Ou di tout gaf ou fè mwen imbu de yo
You tell me all the mistakes I make, it makes me feel conceited
Fè w panse w pèdi valè nan zye m
Makes you think you're losing value in my eyes
Pa genyen moun ki pa gen yon pase
Nobody is without a past
Erreur de jeunesse pa dwe andikape n
Mistakes of youth shouldn't hold us back
Reyalize se lè w gen volonte
Realizing it's time to have the willpower
Reyalize ou kapab surmonter
Realizing you can overcome anything
Nenpòt baraj ou kontre
Any obstacle you face
Ou toujou ap rakonte m
You keep telling me
Lavi pa janm fè w kado
Life never gives you gifts
Nenpòt sa pou posede
Anything you want to possess
Se nan batay pou genyen l
You have to fight to win it
Mwen paka orfri w lesyèl
I can't offer you the sky
Mwen pa pwomèt ou richès
I don't promise you riches
Sèl garanti m ap ba ou
The only guarantee I give you
M ap renmen w ak tout sa m genyen
Is that I love you with all that I have
Cheri pou ou pagen anyen ki twòp
Baby, you don't ask for too much
Pare pou m sakrifye m
I'm ready to sacrifice myself for you
Chemen lanmou genyen zepin
The path of love has thorns
Ansanm nou ka eskive yo
Together we can avoid them
Depi se pou m ran ou heureuse
Since it's my job to make you happy
Anyen pa genyen pri
There's no price to pay
Bonheur ou se priyorite m
Your happiness is my priority
A wi se l′essentiel
Yes, that's the essential
Pou eksperyans nou fè
For the experiences we have
Moment de folie n konèt
Our moments of foolishness
Il n'y a plus rien pou n ap chèche
There's nothing left for us to look for
Rès wout la fò n fè l à deux
The rest of the way, we must do it together
Epi pa okipe w de sa yo ka rankonte
And don't worry about what others say
Men li papa... wa degaje w
But he's here, so... you can go now
Cheri w kite m la ap gaspiye
Baby, leave me here, wasting away
