Why Now
Nu-Look Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ou ret tann lè mwen pa mèt tèt mwen
Fin asure w ke m depann de ou
Epi w di m sa pap ka kontinye
Wa va sonje angajman m te pran pou ou
Lè tout moun ki chè a mwen te opoze
M te fè la sourde oreille fè chwa de nou
Kòm rekonpans jodya ou vle voye m jete
Kisa ou reproche m kisa m pat fè
M pa santi m gen kouraj rekòmanse
Mwen bliye tout sa m ye tout sa m vo
Mwen mete orgeuil mwen de kote
Pour que desir ou yo kap respekte
Epi jodya w twouve m envivab
Manten an w di ou santi w kou prizonye
M pa ba w espas ou santi ke wap toufe
Ou menm trete m de dezikilibre
Ala bagay ki di se lè lanmou fini
I will do anything babe to rekindle what we had
Tell me what to do it′s all in your hands
Mwen ouvè de bra m m ap supliye w
Mwen ouvè tout kè m ou di sa pa anyen
Kòman pou m fè fas a moun sa yo
Ki te yap tann ak pasyans pou jou sa rive
Apiye
Nu-Look
Je n'arrive pas à comprendre ce phénomène qu′est l'amour
Plus on le veut plus il nous fuit, je suis confu et perdu
Cheri m tèlman renmen w li fè m mal
Mwen pap regrèt le jour m te rankontre w
Ni tout sa nou te fè sof ke m santi m desu
Gade m nan je di m ou pat janm serieuse
Ou pat genyen m nan plan futur w
Aksyon w yo te kalkule paske
Sa fè m mal
M pa konn jus kilè m ap geri

Ou rete tann lè mwen fin febli
You waited until I was weak
Ou ret tann lè mwen pa mèt tèt mwen
You waited until I couldn't think for myself
Fin asure w ke m depann de ou
You made sure that I was dependent on you
Epi w di m sa pap ka kontinye
And you told me that it couldn't continue
Wa va sonje angajman m te pran pou ou
You will remember the commitment I made to you
Lè tout moun ki chè a mwen te opoze
When everyone who cares about me opposed it
M te fè la sourde oreille fè chwa de nou
I turned a deaf ear and chose you
Kòm rekonpans jodya ou vle voye m jete
As a reward, today you want to throw me away
Kisa ou reproche m kisa m pat fè
What do you blame me for, what didn't I do
M pa santi m gen kouraj rekòmanse
I don't feel like I have the courage to start again
Mwen bliye tout sa m ye tout sa m vo
I forget everything, everything I said
Mwen mete orgeuil mwen de kote
I put my pride aside
Pour que desir ou yo kap respekte
So that your desires can be respected
Epi jodya w twouve m envivab
And now you find me unbearable
Manten an w di ou santi w kou prizonye
Now I tell you that you feel like a prisoner
M pa ba w espas ou santi ke wap toufe
I don't give you space, you feel suffocated
Ou menm trete m de dezikilibre
You treat me as if I'm unbalanced
Ala bagay ki di se lè lanmou fini
This is what they say when love is over
I will do anything babe to rekindle what we had
I'll do anything, babe, to bring back what we had
Tell me what to do it's all in your hands
Tell me what to do, it's up to you
Mwen ouvè de bra m m ap supliye w
I open my arms and beg you
Mwen ouvè tout kè m ou di sa pa anyen
I open my heart and you say it doesn't mean anything
Kòman pou m fè fas a moun sa yo
How can I deal with these people
Ki te yap tann ak pasyans pou jou sa rive
Who were waiting with patience for this day to come
Je n'arrive pas à comprendre ce phénomène qu'est l'amour
I can't understand this phenomenon that is love
Plus on le veut plus il nous fuit, je suis confu et perdu
The more we want it, the more it escapes us, I am confused and lost
Cheri m tèlman renmen w li fè m mal
My darling, I love you so much it hurts me
Mwen pap regrèt le jour m te rankontre w
I don't regret the day I met you
Ni tout sa nou te fè sof ke m santi m desu
Not everything we did, but I feel defeated
Gade m nan je di m ou pat janm serieuse
Look into my eyes and tell me you were never serious
Ou pat genyen m nan plan futur w
You didn't have me in your future plans
Aksyon w yo te kalkule paske
Your actions were calculated because
Sa fè m mal
It hurts me
M pa konn jus kilè m ap geri
I don't know when I'll heal
