about

A/C: Ines Khai

I won't die far away

I know where I grew up
I know where I was born
And this is where I walk every day
The lock is ticking
The years are passing
I am thinking and thinking
I want to go home
And get ready to work hard
I am asking for strength and courage

I will go and cross the blue sea

I remember they used to call me French
I want to scream this is not my name
I moved to a different country where they speak English
Sometimes I stutter, it's not my language
I traveled a lot to many places
Nowhere is as sweet as Anse-Bertrand
I am thinking and thinking
In truth, I am scared but I have to be courageous

lyrics

Mwen péké mò lòt bò
Mwen péké mò non

Mwen savé byen kikoté mwen lévé
Mwen savé byen ki koté mwen vwè jou
É sé la mwenka maché touléjou
Tan la ka pasé laj la ka monté
kalkilé, mwen ka kalkilé
ritouné, mwen vlé ritouné
Maré ren an mwen pou mwen ay travay
Mandé répondè fòs é kouraj

Mwen péké mò lòt bò X4

Mwen ké alé
Janbé lanmè blé

Mwen ka sonjé yo téké di moun Frans
Mwen té vlé kriyé a pa non an mwen
Mwen chanjé péyi yo palé anglé
Mwen ka bégéyé a pa lang an mwen
Mwen ja vwayajé
Alé tout koté
Pon koté pa bèl dous kon Lansbètran
Kalkilé mwen ka kalkilé manman
An vérité mwen pè mé fo mwen vin vayan

Mwen péké mò lòt bò
