Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Stevy Mahy's song "San vou" express a deep desire for someone to be by the singer's side. The opening lines, "mwen té envi ke ou vini koté mwen" and "mwen té envi ké ou vini vlopé mwen," translate to "I wanted you to come to me" and "I wanted you to come and hold me." The singer longs for a life where she can live out her dreams, in a world that seems like a fantasy, "kon adan cinéma." The chorus, "mwen ké pé alé san vou, san vou, menm si la vi pé ni menm gou," are words of someone who is leaving, going out into the world without the person they love, and knowing that life will not be as enjoyable without them.


The second verse begins with "si mwen pati, sé pou cheché la vi," meaning "if I leave, it's to search for life." Here, the singer is expressing that sometimes people have to go their separate ways to find their own path in life, even if it means leaving behind someone they love. The bridge, "nou pa ni pou goumé, é si nou inmé, fo nou sav sa nou vlé," points to the importance of knowing what you want in a relationship and being true to yourself. The song ends on a bittersweet note, "ouh, ouh, ouh... pass an ké pé alé, an ké pé alé, menm si ou ké pléré," meaning "I will go even if you cry."


Overall, the song is a moving expression of the push and pull of love and the difficult choices that come with it.
