Sou intenet nou rankontre
Chak jou fon ou kominike
Nou pale tout jounen
De tout et de rien
Sou intenet wi nou kwaze
Men jou a rive Pou nou kontre
Mais j'ai un secret, J'ai un secret
Yon ti sekre, j'ai un secret Heee
Yon ti sekre m'pot ko devwale
Yon realite ki ka fe'w chanje lide
Ke'm ap sote, lap palpite
M'pa konn sa'm pral fe
Ave'm ou pran yon chans
Ak ke'w ou fe'm konfyans
Pou mwen sa gen anpil inpotans
Se sa ki fe, an verite ke'm ap rache
Mais j'ai un secret, J'ai un secret
Yon ti sekre, j'ai un secret Heee
Ooh wooo hooo ooo, Ooh wooo hooo wooo
Ooh wooo ooh wooo
M'paka domi telman map kalkile
Jan dlo nan je'm pa tap sispann koule
Si'w ta fache ou vire do'w wale
Apre tout sa nou finn pase
Ave'w mwen vle onet
Santiman pa yon jwet
Mwen kouche la map imajine
Ki Sa pou'm fe
Yon ti sekre mwen pot ko pot ko
Non mwen potko potko vle devwale
Pou misye paf ache tou vire dol lale
O oh oh o oh oh,
Gad nan kisa mal mete tet mwen
O oh oh o oh oh
Gad nan kisa mal foure tet mwen
