Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Chak fwa an vinn pou pati
Sé lannuit ka enstalé
An tchyè aw menm si ou sav sé mizik an ka jouré
Pa anvi an pa anvi rété toultan évè w
Sé pa avè lanmou dlo frèch kè nou ké bwè siro mièl... tu voie
Ou tro antchyèt dou, ou tro jalouz dou
éé i pati
Santiman lasa sé li ka poté jalouzi
Santiman lasa sé li ki pé ban nou pwoblèm
Ka fè nou soufè
Ka bay bonè
Ka bay frison
Ka poté chalè o wo

The song "A tou pwi" by Patrick Saint-Eloi is about his deep feelings of love for someone. He expresses his desire to be with this person at all times, but reflects on the complexities of this desire. He reveals his fears of being too clingy and of becoming a source of jealousy which can cause problems in their relationship. The chorus emphasizes his love and desire to be with this person, despite any potential difficulties.
The lyrics portray a sense of longing and desperation, as well as a fear of rejection. The repetition of the phrase "Mi lontan kan palé baw, pa touch" suggests that he may have been rejected by this person in the past or has a fear of being rejected. The use of creole adds to the emotional depth of the song and reflects Saint-Eloi’s Caribbean heritage.
Overall, "A tou pwi" is a heartfelt expression of love, desire, and vulnerability. It portrays the complexities of a relationship and the fear of rejection that often comes with it.
