Sa ka maché kochi, gadé sé yo ka réisi
Sa ka maché dwet, es ni on moun pou rikonnèt
Yo di an ka chanté mal mé mwen savé mwen pa banal
Yo ké fè sa yo vlé, mizik an mwen an ké jouwé
Siw gadé mwen dan zié ou ké senti ki jan sa fô
Siw gadé mwen dan zié ou ké senti ki jan mwen fiè
Pas mwen fiè,

(Dédé Ô Dédé)
(Dèmin matin pa lévé mwen)
Dèmin matin pa lévé mwen
Sé pwop frè mwen ka mélé mwen o
(Dédé Ô Dédé)
(Dèmin matin pa lévé mwen)
Dèmin matin pa lévé mwen
Pa rété fos an kè an mwen o
(Dédé Ô Dédé)
(Dèmin matin pa lévé mwen)
Dèmin matin pa lévé mwen
Sé pwop frè mwen ka mélé mwen

E mwen ja goumé, pas ou apwenn mwen goumééé
Bondié ké gadé
Fô mwen douvan èvè vayan
Yo di nou ka jouwé mal
Mé mwen savé nou pa banal
Lè percu la sonné, lè contrèbass la ka woulé

Siw gadé yo dan zié ou ké senti ki jan sa fô
Siw gadé yo dan zié ou ké senti ki jan nou fiè
Pas nou fiè, nou fiè

Manman, manman
Pitit' a vou tini couraj'Avansé pwin an mwen fèmé
Sé a kaz aw mwen vlé pozé
Dédé dédé dédé dédé




Manman, manman
Démin matin pa lé vé mwen Pou fos é couraj pa manké mwen

Overall Meaning

The song "Dédé" by Soft features verses in Creole and French and focuses on the singer's pride in their music and artistic abilities. The song opens with repeating sounds, but quickly transitions to verses in Creole that describe people watching the singer walk by and recognizing their talent. The lyrics state that although some may criticize the music, the singer knows they are unique and will continue to play their own music. The hook "Dédé Ô Dédé" is repeated several times, and appears to represent the singer's alter ego or an important figure in their life.


The chorus then transitions to French, with the singer singing out to their mother for support and courage. The verses in French describe the singer's confidence and the challenges they face, with the music being criticized as "bad" but still they persevere. The closing lines return to the chorus in Creole, urging Dédé to wake up early the next morning to continue creating music.

PART 2 Dédé Oh Dédé tomorrow don't wake me up Tomorrow don't wake me up I have no more strenght in my heart (END OF CHORUS) And yet I fought, because you taught me how to fight And Lord sees I must be at the front and brave They say we don't play good But I know we're no ordinary When the percussion resounds and the double bass plays If you look at them in the eyes you'll feel how strong it is If you look at them in the eyes you'll feel how proud we are...because we are CHORUS .../...

PART 1 Those who walk the wrong path succeed But for those who walk the right path is there anyone to recognize them? They say I don't sing right, but I know I am no ordinary person They can do whatever they want, my music I will always play If you look into my eyes you'll feel how strong it is If you look into my eyes you'll feel how proud I am...because I am proud CHORUS Dédé Oh Dédé tomorrow don't wake me up Tomorrow don't wake me up, my own brother brings me trouble .../...
