An ti ayen

Lésé ti bwen lèspwa viré pa finèt la
An tou piti ayen ki ké sa tchenbé dèmen
Lésé lèspwa viré pa finèt la
An tou piti ayen ki ké fè la tè tounen
Nou sé lé sa fasil, sonjé plita lanmè ké luil
Mé abò ki gomyé ou_ka batché
Pas' pèsonn lan pa sav, a ki lè gro van ka lévé
Tou sa sé lavi ya
Ki'w palé di travay
Ou byen lanmou, sé menm bagay
Nou tout plisimyé tchenbé sa nou trapé
Mé lè nou douté, nou za paré ladjé
Nou ka kriyé anmwé
An mwé, an mwé, an mwé
Nou lé touvé an ti ayen
An mwé, an mwé, an mwé
Ki pa ni koulè malpapay
Wouvè la pòt la, pou lésé'y antré
Epi ou ké wè, mwen bizwen'w osi
Kon an ti limyè, ka mandé grandi
Sé an didan nou, i ké pran chalè
Gadé, sé an ti bouji ka kléré
An toutwèl ki pòkò ni zwèl, van pé chayéy
Gadé, Sé an ti bouji ka kléré
An ti flanm frajil
An toutwèl ki pòkò ni zwèl, van pé chayéy
Si'w lé, mwen lé, adé, nou pé, tchenbé
Si'w lé, mwen lé, an ti ayen, pou nou gen-yen
Si'w lé mwen lé, adé, nou pé, tchenbé
Si'w lé, mwen lé, an ti ayen, pou nou gen-yen
Lésé ti bwen lèspwa viré pa finèt la
An tou piti ayen ki ké sa tchenbé dèmen
Lésé lèspwa viré pa finèt la
An tou piti ayen ki ké fè la tè tounen
Si'w lé mwen lé, adé, nou pé, tchenbé
Si'w lé mwen lé, an tou piti ayen, pou nou gen-yen

A Little Something

Let a little hope slip through the window
A tiny something that will hold tomorrow
Let hope slip through the window
A tiny something that will make the earth turn
We like things easy, remember later the sea will be calm
But first, what oar are you rowing with
Because nobody knows when the big wind will rise
All of this is life
Whether you talk about work
Or love, it's the same thing
We all want to hold onto what we catch
But when we doubt, we're ready to let go
We cry out to me
To me, to me, to me
We want to find a little something
To me, to me, to me
That doesn't have the color of misfortune
Open the door, let it enter
And you will see, I need you too
Like a small light, asking to grow
It's within us, it will take warmth
Look, it's a small candle that shines
A thin cloth without weight, the wind can carry it away
Look, it's a small candle that shines
A fragile little flame
A thin cloth without weight, the wind can carry it away
If you want, I want, come on, we can hold on
If you want, I want, a little something, for us to have
If you want, I want, come on, we can hold on
If you want, I want, a little something, for us to have
Let a little hope slip through the window
A tiny something that will hold tomorrow
Let hope slip through the window
A tiny something that will make the earth turn
If you want, I want, come on, we can hold on
If you want, I want, a little something, for us to have
