From Mawé

From mawé

Pa di mwen fò pa palé

Kéni sa pou-w tandé.

Ou ka tchenbé mwen an ba pié-w.

An pa vlé sa ankò, mwen ka-alé.

I’m about to get up

I will never give up

I can never be dumb

I forget the baiter

I will never get home

I would never give up

I forgive the haters

I don’t wanna hear « Don’t talk about it. »

Give me time to cut in.

You keepin’ me down. I’m done with all this.

A thousand time we’ve fought about it.

Pa di mo ! Pa hélé !

Si-w vé pa… Rété-la !

Pa palé ! San kado

Nou vé pa pon moun aw !

I’ve been there

Don’t wanna know

I am proud

Heaven knows

Sa an enmé an ké bay

Sa sé vré!

Mwen ké ay !

Fè sa an vlé.

Zò ké sav !
