Lyrics and translation Baky - Fos Yon Black




Fos Yon Black
Fos Yon Black
M'aprann mache ak 4 pat, aprè poum ka kanpe
I learned to walk on four legs, then to stand
M enmi ak poum pa ranpe
I made enemies with the earth so I wouldn't crawl
Yo'm just vle'w konprann si destin
They just want you to understand if destiny
Ouvè pòt ba'w, ou gen dwaw pouw pa antre
Opens the door for you, you have the right not to enter
Chak wout baw chwa pouw pa pran'l
Every road gives you a choice not to take it
Chak saw fè'w konn a kisa pouw atann
Every time you do something, you know what to expect
lavi ba'w do, lavi blese'w
When life turns its back on you, when life hurts you
Dèfwa tou se just pouw aprann
Sometimes it's just for you to learn
Ke gen nèg ki la pou detwi
That there are people who are there to destroy
Genyen kap ede'w rive, genyen'k la pou rejwi
Some are there to help you succeed, some are there to rejoice
Genyen kap ankouraje'w toutan pouw ekri
Some encourage you all the time to write
Poutan kap tann pi devan nenpòt saw pou egri
But they wait, in the future, for anything you do to show up
Genyen k'avè'm se pou lajan nan pòch mwen
Some are with me for the money in my pocket
Genyen'k rayi'm, men ki ta renmen vi'n pwòch mwen
Some hate me, but they would like to become close to me
Genyen lè'm pa bay respè ki twouve'm twò chen (lol)
Sometimes I don't show respect, which makes me seem like a dog (lol)
M konnen'm gen repwòch men...
I know I have flaws, but...
Konbyen'k te kanpe avè'm, Ki tap ofri'm Clip?
How many stood with me, offering me a clip?
Lè'm pat gen lafwa nan Bondye konbyen'k tap ofri'm Bib?
When I had no faith in God, how many offered me the Bible?
Konbyen lè'm t'avèg, ki tap ofrim
How many, when I was blind, offered me
