I want the water and the salt on my skin
There might be the color of honey on my skin
But my body is salt
Deep down to my bones
My body is salt, coming from the sea
Like the river looking for the sea
I am running, I cannot stay there
Like the morning dew under the sun
I am bound to disappear
I have to reach the sea so I don't lie down under the land
Like the river
Child of the sea
Like the dew
Kin of water
I cannot stay here
Like the river
Child of the sea
I learnt to run, walk, jump on this land but
It's in the water that my body wants to dance
I hear I should stay on the land
But it's in the water that my body wants to stay
I have to reach the sea so I don't lie down under the land
lyrics
Mwen vlé vwè dlo épi sèl
Asou la po
Si tini on koulè myèl
Asou la po
Sav an tout kò mwen sé sèl
Jis nan mitan zo
Tout kò mwen sé sèl
Ki sòti nan dlo
Kon rivyè ki ka chèché lanmè
Mwen ka kouri pé pa rété la
Kon lawouzé anba soley la
Si mwen rété mwen ké disparèt
Fo mwen ay jwenn lanmè
Pou mwen pa kouché anba la tè
Mwen vlé vwè dlo épi sèl
Asou la po
Si tini on koulè myèl
Asou la po
Sav an tout kò mwen sé sèl
Jis nan mitan zo
Tout kò mwen sé sèl
Ki sòti nan dlo
Kon larivyè
Pitit a lanmè
Kon lawouzé
Fanmi a dlo
Pé pa rété la
Kon larivyè
Pitit a lanmè
Aprann kouri, maché, soté mé
Sé an dlo la kò an mwen vlé dansé
Yo si sé asou la tè pou rété
Mé sé an dlo la kò la vlé rété
Fo mwen ay jwenn lanmè
Pou mwen pa kouché anba la tè
Mwen vlé vwè dlo épi sèl
Asou la po
Si tini on koulè myèl
Asou la po
Sav an tout kò mwen sé sèl
Jis nan mitan zo
Tout kò mwen sé sèl
Ki sòti nan dlo

De la "Doum Doum musiK" percutante et envoutante...
Et les autres textes qui sollicitent l'esprit et l'émotion...
Et, bien sûr, les mots choisis et dits avec talent...
Une très belle oeuvre à deux voix, à deux coeurs aux sensibilités proches.
Félicitations à Alphaaz pour cette belle production.
