I will make my voice become sweet so I can sing for them
I will make my words become blues so I can honor them
I will remember their bodies, which fell under the water
I will sing for those who died so we can remember them
We I arrive near the sea
I always think about this
When I lye down on the sand
Listening the the song of the water
The sea is talking
I sit up to listen
The waves are singing
It makes me want to stand up
To ask and yell
Mother water, sea goddess
Did you smother them
Did you save them
Smother them to kill the pain
Save them to create mermaids
Tell me if the sea is sweet
I don’t want to drown
I will walk all day long until I reach the water
I will walk on roads and cross forests
I will remember the boat and the brave soldiers
Family of my mother and my father, who met the water
When I arrive near the sea
I always think about this
When I lye down on the sand
Listening the the song of the water
The sea is talking
I sit up to listen
The waves are singing
It makes me want to stand up
To ask and yell
Mother water, sea goddess
Did you smother them
Did you save them
Smother them to kill the pain
Save them to create mermaids
lyrics
Mwen ké fè vwa an mwen vin dous pou mwen chanté yo
Mwen ké fè pawòl an mwen vin blues pou onoré yo
Mwen ké sonjé kò a yo tonbé anba dlo
Mwen ké chanté pou sa ki mò pou nou sonjé yo
Lè mwen rivé bòd lanmè la
Mwen toujou ka sonjé sa
Lè mwen kouché an sab la
Ka kouté dlo la, ka bay la vwa
Lanmè la ka palé
Mwen sizé pou kouté
Sé vag la ka chanté
Mwen anvi lévé
Pou mandé, pou kriyé
Manman dlo, manman dlo
Ès ou toufé yo
Ès ou sové yo
Toufé yo pou tchouyé doulè la
Sové yo pou kréé sirèn la
Di mwen si lanmè dous
Mwen pa anvi néyé
Mwen ké maché maten o swa, rivé an dlo la
Mwen ké vansé an béton la, travèsé gran bwa
Mwen ké sonjé bato la é vayan solda
Fanmi a manman, fanmi a papa ki kontré dlo la
Lè mwen rivé bòd lanmè la
Mwen toujou ka sonjé sa
Lè mwen kouché an sab la
Ka kouté dlo la, ka bay la vwa
Lanmè la ka palé
Mwen size pou kouté
Sé vag la ka chanté
Mwen anvi lévé
Pou mandé, pou kriyé
Manman dlo, manman dlo
Ès ou toufé yo
Ès ou sové yo
Toufé yo pou tchouyé doulè la
Sové yo pou kréé sirèn la

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.
