Lyrics and translation Kassav' - Léron

Léron

Si mewen rakonté zot listwa misié Léron
Ka rété Fon Galion
Za ni posé dizan i ka tounen ron dan ron
I pran ko'y pou patron
Ka pran moun pou kouyon
Léron sé an lawon
Sa ki pou fet ka fet
Touléjou sé lafet
Dépi zafe'y ka fet
I pu la pou konnet
Pa toujou tro net
Mé woul-la ka tounen
Yo tjenbé Léron
Anba kann Galion
Ka fè malonnetté
Mé lè'y touvé i pri
Léron chanjé lespri
I kounmansé di ko'y
Mé non sé pu lavi
Bagay-la ka vini di
Mi tout moun-la ka n'y
I chèche tou tmaji
Pou touvé an ti lanbéli
Lè ou santi fé-a cho ou ka kriyé way
La pu ni débouya pa péché ou tousèl
Ka fè klé ou an nwè
Têt-ou ka pri difé
I ni an rimed ki pé soulajé'w
Sé la kay-nou ki ni lanmou
Pou pu kwè lavi fini
Ou pou réfléchi
Ou pou mété'w koul
Ba lanmou osi

Léron

If I told you the story of Mister Léron,
Who lives in Fon Galion,
Getting old, turning round and round,
He takes himself for a boss,
Fooling people around,
Léron is a sly one,
What he does, he does,
Always partying,
Since his business started,
He's there to be known,
Not always too clean,
But the money keeps flowing,
They caught Léron,
Under the Galion sugarcane,
Doing wrong,
But when he got caught,
Léron changed his mind,
He started saying to himself,
No, this is for life,
Things are getting tough,
Everyone is against me,
He looked for all sorts of magic,
To find a little happiness,
When you feel the heat, you cry out,
There will be trouble, you're not alone in sin,
Your key is turning black,
Your head is on fire,
There is a remedy that can relieve you,
It's in our home that love resides,
To think life is over,
You must reflect,
You must put yourself in order,
Give love too.
