Paroles et traduction IZA - Ton jo

Ton jo

Depui gran matin
Juska fénwar
In tan lu na pwin
Po rakont in zistwar
Achèv plant son grin
Avan k'lé tro tar
I fé pous dan sé min
In ti pe déspwar
Komsi lu lété le dernié
Ton Jo i ve pa arété
Sankwa
Kisa va kontinué
Depui biin lontan
Vän son lanti
Lé kom inn'ofrann
Sé vie la mont a lu depui tann ti
Redonn sé zanfan
Inn ti bout sa sézi
I fé lèv le van
Dan sonn ti paradi
Komsi lu lété le dernié
Ton Jo i ve pa arété
Sankwa
Kisa va kontinué
Demin petèt
Dann liv zistwar
Na découv sa golèt
Kom inn mémwar
Zistwar not ilèt
Sak I fo savwar
Su no zansèt
Po zot mémwar
Komsi lu lété le dernié
Ton Jo i ve pa arété
Sankwa
Kisa va rakonté
Kisa va kontinué

Your John

Since the early morning
Until nightfall
Even when there is no one there
To tell a story to
She continues to plant her seeds
Before it is too late
She makes seeds grow in her hand
A little bit of hope
As if it were her last
Your John will not stop
Lady,
What will become
Of this long time
Seed yielding
Is like an offering
It is the life that has been motivating her since childhood
Give your children
A little bit of this truth
It makes the wind rise
In her little paradise
As if it were the last one
Your John will not stop
Lady,
What will become
Perhaps tomorrow
In the history books
We will rediscover this necklace
As a memory
The story of our island
All that we must know
About our ancestors
For their memory
As if it were the last one
Your John will not stop
Lady,
What will be told
What will continue
