Lyrics and translation BélO - Tenza

Tenza

Tenza, sa se pou ou, bebe
Granmoun se granmoun

Ou konn piman pa bon nan bouch
Pa lapenn ou eseye l nan je
M deja gason, kanson m nan ren m
Se nòmal mwen kenbe karaktè m
Kè sere, pye lou, tèt chaje
Mwen santi si m pa pale, m ap toufe
Chagren vle pran m, mennen m ale
Lawont vle fè m debousole

Si m pa pale, m ap toufe
Pouki se se sa w ap mande mwen
Si m pa pale, m ap toufe, non-non-non
Pouki se sa n ap mande mwen

Si m pa pale, m ap toufe
Pouki se sa n ap mande mwen
Si m pa pale, m ap toufe, non-non-non
Pouki se sa n ap mande mwen

M pa t janm panse se konsa sa t ap fini
Pou jan lanmou sa te byen kòmanse
Fanmi m, zanmi m pa t bouke di mwen mèsi
Menm klòch legliz te pare pou sonnen

Lanmou te ka ba w la ke jodi a ou refize
Pou te fè tout sa m vle, mwen di w m pa te ezite
Ba w lanmou san rete, se sa ki fè mwen vibre
Se sa ki fè m rele, fè m chante san rete
Mwen te tèlman kwè nan ou, mwen gen tan ba w yon bebe
Ou vyole konfyans mwen, ou vire do w, w ale, men

Si m pa pale, m ap toufe
Pouki se se sa n ap mande mwen
Si m pa pale, m ap toufe, non-non-non
Pouki se sa n ap mande mwen

Si m pa pale, m ap toufe
Pouki se sa n ap mande mwen
Si m pa pale, m ap toufe, non-non-non
Pouki se sa n ap mande mwen

Ou konn piman pa bon nan bouch
Pa lapenn ou mete l nan je mwen
M deja gason, kanson mwen nan ren m
Se nòmal mwen kenbe karaktè m
Kè sere, pye lou, tèt chaje
Mwen santi si m pa pale, m ap toufe
Chagren vle pran m, mennen mwen ale
Lawont vle fè m debousole

Si m pa pale, m ap toufe
Pouki se se sa n ap mande mwen
Si m pa pale, m ap toufe, non-non-non
Pouki se sa n ap mande mwen

Si m pa pale, m ap toufe
Pouki se sa n ap mande mwen
Si m pa pale, m ap toufe, non-non-non
Pouki se sa n ap mande mwen

Si m pa pale, m ap toufe
Si m pa pale, m ap toufe
Pouki se sa n ap mande mwen
Si m pa pale, m ap toufe

Tenza

Tenza, my darling
Grownups are grown ups

You know pepper isn't good for your mouth
Don't try putting it in your eyes
I'm already a man, my songs are in my blood
It's only right that I hold my character
A heavy heart, leaden feet, a burdened mind
I feel like if I don't speak, I'll suffocate
Sorrow wants to take me, lead me astray
Shame wants to disorient me

If I don't speak, I'll suffocate
Why is that what you're asking of me
If I don't speak, I'll suffocate, no-no-no
Why is that what you're asking of me

If I don't speak, I'll suffocate
Why is that what you're asking of me
If I don't speak, I'll suffocate, no-no-no
Why is that what you're asking of me

I never thought it would end this way
After how well the love had started
My family and my friends never stopped thanking me
Even the church bells were ready to ring

Love could give you the key that today you refuse
In order to do everything you wanted, you said you wouldn't hesitate
To give you boundless love, that's what makes me come alive
That's what makes me cry out, makes me sing without stopping
I believed in you so much, I had the time to give you a baby
You betrayed my trust, you turned your back on me, you left, but

If I don't speak, I'll suffocate
Why is that what you're asking of me
If I don't speak, I'll suffocate, no-no-no
Why is that what you're asking of me

If I don't speak, I'll suffocate
Why is that what you're asking of me
If I don't speak, I'll suffocate, no-no-no
Why is that what you're asking of me

You know pepper isn't good for your mouth
Don't bother putting it in my eyes
I'm already a man, my songs are in my blood
It's only right that I hold my character
A heavy heart, leaden feet, a burdened mind
I feel like if I don't speak, I'll suffocate
Sorrow wants to take me, lead me astray
Shame wants to disorient me

If I don't speak, I'll suffocate
Why is that what you're asking of me
If I don't speak, I'll suffocate, no-no-no
Why is that what you're asking of me

If I don't speak, I'll suffocate
Why is that what you're asking of me
If I don't speak, I'll suffocate, no-no-no
Why is that what you're asking of me

If I don't speak, I'll suffocate
If I don't speak, I'll suffocate
Why is that what you're asking of me
If I don't speak, I'll suffocate
