about

A/C: Ines Khai

I will bring flowers all day long
I will take flowers to cemeteries
I will carry colorful flowers
So I can paint on suffering
I will drop my knees to the floor
I will caress the dust
Before I myself become dust
My body will request water so I can drink

Send water
So we can drink
Water so we can become flower
And go spread color

I will sow flowers in every garden
I will water flowers in crossroads
I will garden at my neighbor's
So I can harvest tomorrow
And early in the morning
When the sun is not rough yet
I will sing to give me courage
And get ready to work hard

Send water
So we can drink
Water so we can become flower
And go spread color

At night, we lie so we can dream
And when the morning is there
All we see is hope
We go and dance, arms open wide
Asking clouds to be kind
And let the rain come down
Make nature sing

lyrics

Mwen ké chayé flè maten o swè
Mwen ké méné flè an simityè
Mwen ké pòté flè ki tout koulè
Pou mwen pé ay penn lanmizè
Mwen ké mété jounou a tè
Mwen ké karésé pousyè
Avan mwen menm vin pousyè
Kò an mwen ké mandé dlo pou bwè

Voyé dlo, voyé dlo
Voyé dlo pou nou bwè
Voyé dlo pou nou vin flè
Ay simé koulè

Mwen ké simé flè an tout jaden
Mwen ké wouzé flè an katchimen
Mwen ké sèklé tè aka vwazen
Pou mwen pé rékòlté démen
É o pipirit chantan
Lè solèy poko vayan
Mwen ké chanté pou ban mwen kouraj
Maré ren an mwen pou ay travay

Voyé dlo, voyé dlo
Voyé dlo pou nou bwè
Voyé dlo pou nou vin flè
Ay simé koulè

O lannuit nou ka kouché
Pou nou pé révé
É lè jou ka ouvè
Sé lespwa nou ka vwè
Dansé dé bra anlè
Pou mandé niyaj ouvè
Kité lapli tonbé
Fè tòl chanté
