Sab Lanmè
Zekle Lyrics

The lyrics of Zekle's song "Sab Lanmè" convey a complex mix of emotions and themes. The repeated phrases "Sab Lanmè" and "Doulè anmè" can be understood as representing the struggles and pain of life, particularly the hardships and challenges associated with seeking success and financial stability. The lines "Chèche la chans / Ak lajan sal / Manvi po bouch ou / Sou tout kòm" express a desire to find opportunity and wealth, even to the point of wanting to touch someone's mouth (a metaphor for benefiting from their success) and being willing to do whatever it takes to achieve it.

The song also explores the concept of confidence and the hunger for recognition, as expressed in the lines "Move nouvèl / Ak vanite / Chèche konfyans / Wa jwen mange." There is a longing for validation and the promise of prosperity, symbolized by the desire to enter the "myèl" (honey) and be warmed by its richness. The contrasting lines of "Bonjou solèy" and "Bonjou mizè" reflect the dualities of life, where the sun represents hope and happiness, while misery and hardship persist, as portrayed by the river not seeing the sea.

As the song progresses, there is a shift to the themes of love and sorrow. "Lan nuit la bèl / Men za vi a chè hann / Pandan tout moun ape ranse / Mwen ta renmen w" suggests that despite the chaos and noise surrounding them, the singer desires the person they love to the point of crying for them. The lines "Bonjou lanmou / Bonjou chagren / Kat la mal bat / Lan mò pa vle n / Mwen ta renmen w / Jouk nou krye" further emphasize the complexities of love and the pain that accompanies it, acknowledging the harsh realities of life, the uncertainty of death, and the singer's willingness to love until tears flow.

Overall, "Sab Lanmè" is a deeply introspective song that explores the struggles, desires, and emotions that intertwine in the human experience.
