Paroles et traduction Davy Sicard - Dan mon tan

Dan mon tan

Ou wa sa kozman-la
Tan ti
Mi pe di aou kekfwa
Dan mon zorey mwin la 'tandi
Sa té kom in moral
Koutfwet foutan bandé
Swa té pou débal
Swa pou ramasé
Alor m' té majine koman lontan lété
Mé té pa kan mem mon fot si le tan lavé pasé
Kwék li 'a pou di

Dan mon tan
O wi navé réspé
Demoun navé la santé
Kem nou té mizer
Vé lantant té solider
La vi lété pli joli
Nabé pwin tout sak néna jordi
Té fé ek sak navé
Koméla la fine shanjé

Là rod pa pou afronté
Fé pa linsolan
Rod pa pou démayé
Fé pa linosan
Fé pa lo malin
Fé pa lo konéser
Ou la ariv se matin
Banna 'é là d'pi avan yer
Mé alor sé k' mi wa mon tour jordi
Kom zot kom in lévolision la vi
Afors nout natir la pi mem fason
Mem kod é mwin lé tanté di an rézon
Kozman banna là té bon
Riskab in jour nou d'mann pardon
Pou d'bon mi di

Dan mon tan
O wi navé réspé
Demoun navé la santé
Kem nou té mizer
Té lantant té solider
La vi lété pli joli
Navé pwin tout sak néna jordi
Té fé ek sak navé
Koméla la fine shanjé

Mé mi per pars par là m'a fine pasé
Tout lépok néna son bon ek son mové
Dann tan siklone i wa piédbwa byin rasiné
Sak i tyinbo an zarboutan

Dan mon tan
Wo mi lé lé

In my time

You're wondering what I'm talking about
Darling,
I tell you something for sure
In my time, dawn came early
It was like a lesson
Children ran in droves
Either to unload,
Or to collect,
So I imagined how long it was.
But it wasn't my fault if time had passed
As it will

In my time
Oh, yes, there was respect,
People were healthy,
But we were poor,
Yes, but the family was strong,
Life was more beautiful.
We didn't have everything that's around today,
We made do with what we had,
How things have changed!

You shouldn't try to be defiant,
Don't be insolent,
You shouldn't try to faint,
Don't play the innocent,
Don't act smart,
Don't act like you know it all,
You only arrived this morning,
They've been here since yesterday.
But then it's my turn today,
Like you, like an evolution, life goes on
Except that our nature is no longer the same
Same code and I'm tempted to say a reason
Their gossip was good
Maybe one day we'll ask for forgiveness
I tell you for real

In my time
Oh, yes, there was respect,
People were healthy,
But we were poor,
Yes, but the family was strong,
Life was more beautiful.
We didn't have everything that's around today,
We made do with what we had,
How things have changed!

But I'm afraid if I go on I'll be outdated
Every era has its good and bad sides
In cyclone season we see well-rooted trees
Those that hold on in the gusts

In my time
You know I am
