Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know you always
Di mwen
Give me a million reasons to stay
Since my word been laps
I down
You still make me feel special
Something i′ve never felt before
Never knew i love so true
Let me be exactly who I am
Di mwen ...
Di mwen waprete
Diii mwen
Ou pap janm lage m
If your the moon and i'm your sky
Tell me that you′ll never leave
Say
Di mwen
Di mwen
Di mwen
Di mwen
Sapa interessem lè moun pale
Mwen pito konnen ki moun ou ye
Lè lavi tap banm traka
You still make me feel special
Something i've never felt before
Ou oh...

Never knew i love so true

Ou pap janm lage m
If you the moon and i′m your sky
(Your sky)
Tell me that you'll never leave

The song "Di Mwen" by Phyllisia Ross begins with a repetition of "La la lala hmm" followed by an assurance from the lover that they give the singer a million reasons to stay. Even though the singer's word has failed them at some point, the lover still makes them feel special, a feeling they have never experienced before. They both see each other and this sight creates a true love that the singer never knew existed. The lyrics "Let me be exactly who I am" indicate the acceptance of each other's faults and the love that the couple shares.
In the next verse, the singer expresses the importance of knowing who their lover truly is rather than being interested in rumors about them. The fact that the lover still makes the singer feel special in the midst of their troubled times reinforces the depth of their love. The singer also questions the significance of the signals their lover gives and implores them to show their love in their actions.
Overall, the lyrics of the song paint a picture of a deep and genuine love that the singer never knew existed before meeting their lover. The song emphasizes the importance of showing love in actions rather than words, as it strengthens the trust and bond between the couple.

Phyllisia Ross truly. Grand display of talent, beauty, sisterhood, and creativity. Great listening but the video puzzles me. It seems there's a great deal of love and devotion theme:
[you] Give me a million reasons to stay
..
Never knew our love so true
..
If you're the moon and I'm your sky
Tell me that you'll never leave my sight
..
Di mwen w'ap rete
Di mwen ou p'ap janm lage'm
..
Don't say it in words
show me with your heart
and loving arms I can lean to
kissin' you...
Pou'w montre'm kijan ou renmen'm
With all that said, can you enlighten us why this big display of women in the video? We're curious.
As usual, we were expecting that signature moves starts 2:35.

Xmas must be today!!🎁🎁 All the gifts we wanted: a waist whining bass line that grabs you by the ornaments right from the start at 0.01 seconds, that English and Kreyol mix that most of us relate to in our everyday, yet other artists struggle with, but never feels out of place, even expected somehow on a Phyllisia Ross track, outfit changes like we watching the Oscars!🏆 beautiful music + beautiful multi-ethnic women (some may want to check her ONE video for the beautiful men) #equalopportunitysexy, and this overall behind the scenes feel that tells you Mrs. Ross has got nothing to hide, nor that she should (even her lipstick is nude) #dafdaf. But beyond these obvious assets, we've figured out her winning formula (In that she kinda gives it away in her lyrics too)🎵"Let me be exactly who I am." That is fine by us. 💯#dimwen #phyllisiaross 😄🔥👏 Follow/Like @sodonetwork for more outstanding Caribbean artists. 🇦🇬🇧🇧🇨🇼🇬🇾🇩🇲🇭🇹🇯🇲🇬🇵
