about

A/C: Ines Khai

I remember you and I sing your name
I honor you and live for you
I close my eyes to remember well
Beautiful you left for me
Wisdom for my child

The ancestors who came and walk the journey of life
Manvie's mother
Leonie's grandmother
And those who came before them
Those who lye under the ocean
The ancestors who fought
So we can walk today

I cannot forgot
That we are only there for a moment
And I remember the love you left
I do not forget
That I'm here only for a moment
And what I am leaving is a little song

lyrics

Mwen ka sonjé zòt
Mwen ka sonjé zòt
Mwen ka sonjé zòt
O fanmi, mwen ka sonjé zòt

Mwen ka sonjé zòt
Mwen ka chanté zòt
Mwen ka onoré zòt
Mwen ka viv ba zòt
Mwen ka fèmé zyé an mwen
Pou mwen sonjé byen
Bèl pawòl zòt lésé ban mwen
Sajès pou timoun an mwen

Mwen ka sonjé zòt
Mwen ka sonjé zòt
Mwen ka sonjé zòt
O fanmi, mwen ka sonjé zòt

É sa ki vini
Maché an ti chimen a lavi
Manman a Manvie
Granmanman a Léonie
Tousa ki pasé avan
Sa ki anba loséan
Tousa ki goumé
Ki fè si Jodi nou ka vansé

Mwen ka sonjé zòt
Mwen ka sonjé zòt
Mwen ka sonjé zòt
O fanmi, mwen ka sonjé zòt

Mwen pé pé oubliyé
Sé pasé nou ka pasé
É mwen la ka sonjé
Lanmou zòt lésé
Mwen paka oubliyé
Sé pasé mwen ka pasé
É sa mwen ka lésé
Sé on ti chanté

Mwen ka sonjé zòt
Mwen ka sonjé zòt
Mwen ka sonjé zòt
O fanmi, mwen ka sonjé zòt

Woy! Sa mwen ka lésé
Sé on ti chanté
