Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo té ka di kè an té tonbé an foli
An fèmen zyé é pran kouraj pou pé avansé
Sa sé pou yo
Mwen té la tou sèl
Té ka soufè
A éséyé sòti di lanfè
Malgré tousa
Yo pa chèché
Chèché konprann
San té ka viv
Mé lanmou mwen
Té la toupré mwen
Ka soutyenn mwen
Ankourajé mwen
É yo té la
Té ka gadé
A ki lè an té ké tonbé
Mwen té ké tonbé yeah!
Si lanmou frajil kant a lanmityé
Pa menm palé sa pa pli fò
Si'w pou rété tou sèl ka soufè
Alò la yo ké byen dakò
É si démen ou vin kartoné
Yo rété la ka palé
Ti bren lanmou pou fè avansé
Pou yo sa pa ka èkzisté
Yo éséyé troublé mwen an pansé
Mé jik jòdi yo pa gangné
Réyalité vini anflamé
Rèv-la ki té byen koumansé
Yo alé di sé mwen ki trayi
Pou an mizik ki fè plézi
An fèmen zyé
Pou pé pardoné
Tousa paskè lanmou pli fò
kè-
Fout sa rèd
Lè'w ka tonbé
Fout sa rèd

Tou sa paskè lanmou pli fò

An fon kè mwen pou asiré
An pa janmen chèché a kaché
Yo té sav tousa an té ka fè
Ni sa ki té ka fè mwen konprann
Kè yo té la a koté mwen
Lè'w byen gadé dispèt pran yo
Lapòt-la an té ja fèmé'y
Eh wi!

Overall Meaning

The song "Istwa an mwen" by Patrick Andrey is a story about betrayal, love and forgiveness. The beginning of the song talks about how the singer's heart was broken and he closed his eyes to gather courage and move forward. He was breathing and trying to come out of hell, but regardless of his struggles, others were not seeking to understand what he was going through. He felt isolated and alone, but his love was there to support and encourage him through it all. Despite their presence, others watched and waited for his downfall.


The chorus of the song is about how if love is fragile when it comes to friendship, it is not stronger. If someone is alone and breathing, then others will agree. If tomorrow he is successful, they will be there to talk to him about how love is essential for moving forward. If love is fragile, the heart will fall. The song ends with the singer saying that he has everything in his heart that he needs to be certain that he never forgets the ones he loves, and that he will always remember what they have done for him.


Overall, the lyrics of the song are about the power of love, its fragility and its ability to help someone move forward, even in the face of betrayal and disappointment.
