Paroles et traduction Boukman Eksperyans - Zili

Zili

Manman manman map saluer ou
Ou menm ki plen lanmou
Gran mèt la avè ou
Ou beni nou e ou beni pitit ou
Yahwe ohh manman mwen
Ou se manman bon kè
Lapriyè pou nou tout jodia
M konnen lew pale tout saw di se vérité

Lè Zili pale l pale tout sal di se vre
Lè Zili chantel chante tout moun ret tande
Lè Zili kriyel kriye tout syèl la tande
Se konsa lè li pale tout sal di rive

Se ou nap rele manman
Pa kite n soufri anko
Siw we jann santi nou byen
Lè nou tandew pale

Lè Zili pale l pale tout sal di se vre
Lè Zili chantel chante tout moun ret tande
Lè Zili kriyel kriye tout syèl la tande
Se konsa lè li pale tout sal di rive

Zili

Mother mommy I give you my greetings
You who are full of love
The voodoo god is with you
You bless us and you bless your children
Yahweh ohh my mother
You are a good-hearted mother
Pray for us all today
I know the lions speak and what they say is true

When Zili speaks he speaks simply and what he says is true
When Zili sings everyone stops to listen
When Zili shouts even the sky takes note
That's why when he speaks everything he says actually happens

Mother is who we call you
Don't let us suffer anymore
If you see a worm take pity on it
When we hear you speak

When Zili speaks he speaks simply and what he says is true
When Zili sings everyone stops to listen
When Zili shouts even the sky takes note
That's why when he speaks everything he says actually happens
