about

A/C: Ines Khai

Window shops can make eyes open wide
To see all the beautiful things
Beautiful dresses
Everything that can be bought
Window shops can make you stop
In the middle of the street so you can stare at
Everything that is on sale
The only nice sound you sometimes want to hear is
The paper sound that money makes
But it will turn into dust

There will be only dust left
Dust to sweep
Everything I can buy
Is only Dust

Empty pockets can make so much water
Flow from our eyes and make us unhappy
They can make knees drop to the floor
Arms and eyes lift to the sky
Empty pockets can make you remember God
Can make you pray-wish money would come back
Money would come back to your pockets
The only nice sound you sometimes want to hear is
The paper sound that money makes
But it will turn into dust

There will be only dust left
Dust to sweep
Everything I can buy
Is only Dust

lyrics

Vitrin ka fè zyé ouvè gran pou yo
Gadé tout bèl madras tout bèl foula
Gadé bèl wòb ki nan vitrin
Tousa yo ni pou vann
Vitrin rivé fè moun rété doubout
An mitan lari dé zyé gran ouvè
Pou gadé sa ki nan vitrin
Sèl biten yo vlè tann sé
Son a papyé lajan ka fè
Son la ké touné nan pousyè


Sé yenki pousyè
Ké rété
Pousyè
Pou baléyé
Tousa mwen pé sanblé
Sé yenki pousyè


Pòch vid an lenj a moun ka fè gwo dlo
Koulé nan jé ka rann moun maléré
Ka fè jounou tonbé a tè
Débra dé zyé anlè
Pòch vid rivé fè moun sonjé Bondyé
Fè moun priyé pou lajan déviré
Pou lajan viré nan pòch yo
Sèl biten yo vlè tann sé
Son a papyé lajan ka fè
Son la ké touné nan pousyè


Sé yenki pousyè
Ké rété
Pousyè
Pou baléyé
Tousa mwen pé sanblé
Sé yenki pousyè

Madras é kolyé chou
Sé yenki pousyè
Bèl wòb é bèl foula
Sé yenki pousyè
Tousa mwen pé achté
Tousa mwen pé sanblé
Tousa mwen pé achté
Sé yenki pousyè


Sé yenki pousyè
Ké rété
Pousyè
Pou baléyé
Tousa mwen pé sanblé
Sé yenki pousyè
