Paroles et traduction Kassav' - Doubout Pikan




Doubout Pikan
Standing Tall
Yenki sa ki adan
The things we've learned
Liv-a yo nou aprann
From the books we've read
yo nou anvi sanm
Are the things we long to share
Listwa-an nou yo vin pran'y an koutchanm
Our history, taken and locked away
Yoruba vayan
The Yoruba people journeyed
Fwet a mizè yo pran
Enduring hardships along the way
yo konpwann
Making it clear
Jòdijou doubout pikan
Today, we stand tall
Vié mes-a yo, brilé tet-an nou
The old ways, they burned our minds
Listwa-a yo, pa sel ki tan nou
Our history, more than just our time
Listwa-an nou, kay nanm an nou
Our history, it will build our souls
nanm-an nou, kay démaré nou
Our souls, they will set us free
Manni-a yo, étenn lespri-nou
Their ways, extinguished our spirit
Kakwè-a yo, a pa kakwè-an nou
Their quarrels, not our own to inherit
Listwa-an nou, nanm-an nou
Our history, it will build our souls
nanm-an nou, ki tout fos-an nou
Our souls, the source of all our strength
Si'w vwè nou aprann
If only we had learned
Sa nou ansanm
What we could achieve together
Menm si nou pa ka sanm
Even if we don't always agree
Listwa an nou pa ped an koutchanm
Our history wouldn't be locked away
Nou rivé pi lwen
We can reach further
Si bagay pa biten
If things aren't broken
Kon lanmen
Like two hands
toujou yonn ki lavé lot bien
One can always wash the other clean
Mi an ka di an sèten
I say with certainty
Nou rivé lwen
We will go far
Si nou sonjé bien
If we remember well
Bagay pa biten
Things aren't broken
Aksepté sa,
Accept this,
Fin épi sa
End this strife
Wayayayay nou sav la nou
Wayayayay we know where we are
pa jòdi, nou kontan di
It's not today we're happy to say
On Kassav ki ni
There's a Kassav that exists
Avan lanmou, respé nou ti ni
Before love, there was respect we held
Aaaaaaaaiyé...!
Aaaaaaaaiyé...!
