Waya Waya
Sean Paul Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey yo! (Waya Waya)
Music is freedom! (Waya Waya)
Sean Paul alongside Tal!

Dans tous les pays du monde
Même quand la colère gronde
Il y a toujours des gens qui s'élèvent
(Worldwide vibe)
Dans les tribus, les capitales
Que le tempo soit pop ou tribal
Y'a jamais de différence
Je dis ce que l'on pense

Loin d'ici, près de là
Y'a des chants qui portent nos voix
We livin' it up, we not givin' it up
(Voix, yeah)
We livin' it up, we not givin' it up
Près d'ici, loin de là
Y'a des chants qui portent nos joies
We livin' it up, we not givin' it up
(Joins, yeah)
We livin' it up, we not givin' it up

Tell them say music is life
Remember life is music
Mad people vibes and we chant we use it
To build connection and we never will lose it
Even in yard 'nuff love we're boostin'
Into this life trouble ever be looming
Face it alone, it can seem so dooming
Jammin' and we come together, we groovin'
Keep positivity, flowers, them blooming

Loin d'ici, près de là
Y'a des chants qui portent nos voix
We livin' it up, we not givin' it up
(Voix, yeah)
We livin' it up, we not givin' it up
Près d'ici, loin de là
Y'a des chants qui portent nos joies
We livin' it up, we not givin' it up
(Joins, yeah)
We livin' it up, we not givin' it up

Là bas, là bas, de l'Afrique aux Amériques
Tout près de là, y'a toujours de la musique
Every corner we are taking it to the world
Take it and spread it to the world
Là bas, là bas, il n'y a pas de silence
On a le droit de chanter nos différences
Every corner we are taking it to the world
Take it and spread it to the world

Loin d'ici, près de là
Y'a des chants qui portent nos voix
We livin' it up, we not givin' it up
(Voix, yeah)
We livin' it up, we not givin' it up
Près d'ici, loin de là
Y'a des chants qui portent nos joies
We livin' it up, we not givin' it up
(Joies, yeah)
We livin' it up, we not givin' it up
Loin d'ici, près de là
Y'a des chants qui portent nos voix
We livin' it up, we not givin' it up
(Voix, yeah)
We livin' it up, we not givin' it up
Pres d'ici, loin de là
Y'a des chants qui portent nos joies
We livin' it up, we not givin' it up




(Joies, yeah)
We livin' it up, we not givin' it up
