Doméyis (Domeus)

Doméyis mako, nonm a la vaniy
La tiwbine y ka travay
Gadé siwo doudou y menné baw mé zanmi
Doméyis mako, nonm a la vaniy
La tiwbine y ka travay
Gadé siwo doudou y menné baw mé zanmi

Si'w konèt Doméyis, kontrimèt an lizine
Y rivé fè ich épi kouzine marène matant li
Dépi y jwend an manmzel, y bizwen menney an syèl
Sé pou sa an péyi la lé y pasé yo ka kriyéy

Doméyis mako, nonm a la vaniy
La tiwbine y ka travay
Gadé siwo doudou y pòté baw mé zanmi
Doméyis mako, nonm a la vaniy
La tiwbine y ka travay
Gadé siwo doudou y menné baw mé zanmi

Mé alé an mone la bò kaye li
Sé la ou ké rivé twouvé chalè, an an
Lè'w pilé a sou pa la pòt li
Ou ka respiré an lodè tandrès, yé hé

Menm si jan komine la pa chèché konpwan li
Kriyéy malfétè yo di y ka fè dowlis
Doméyis pa ka mété lèspriy asou sa
Sé wè y pé pa wè an jipon pasé

Pé pa, pé pa
Rété san dousè
Dòmi san chalè-a
Pé pa, pé pa
Rété san dousè
Dòmi san chalè-a

Adan près' toute komine, o mwen senk ti manmay
Mé y toujou ba yo bwè, y toujou ba yo manjé
Jou Bon Dié ké kriyéy, pou di y ja fè asé
An lo moun ké rigrété an tan yo té ka chanté

{Doméyis mako, nonm a la vaniy
Yélélé, yélélé, yéléla

Dépi y jwend an manmz'
Y bizwen menneny dan syel
Sétièm syel}

Y pé pa, y pé pa

{Rété san dousè
Dòmi san chalè}

Lésé woulé

(Marimba+kuiv)

Mé alé, mé alè
Chalè, oh, tandrès
Mé alé

Doméyis (Domeus)

O, sweetheart, the man of my dreams
The turbine is working
Look how my lover rocks the show, my friend
O, sweetheart, the man of my dreams
The turbine is working
Look how my lover rocks the show, my friend

If you know my sweetheart, meet me at the factory
He will make stir fried food with his mother's cousin
Since he found a girlfriend, he wants to go to heaven
That's why people cry out when he passes by

O, sweetheart, the man of my dreams
The turbine is working
Look how my sweetheart carries the show, my friend
O, sweetheart, the man of my dreams
The turbine is working
Look how my sweetheart rocks the show, my friend

But go to his house in the countryside
That's where you'll find warmth
When you knock on his door
You can breathe a scent of tenderness

Even if some people do not seek his attention
Malicious critics say he's a deceiver
Sweetheart doesn't bother with that
Seeing a skirt pass by makes him restless

Can't, can't
Stay without sweetness
Sleep without warmth
Can't, can't
Stay without sweetness
Sleep without warmth

In all the neighborhoods, I have at least five kids
But I always give them something to drink, I always give them something to eat
When God calls out, to tell me I've done enough
People in the crowd will regret the time they sang

{O, sweetheart, the man of my dreams
Yélélé, yélélé, yéléla

Since he found a girlfriend
He wants to take her to heaven
Seventh heaven}

He can't, he can't

{Stay without sweetness
Sleep without warmth}
(...)
Let it roll

(Marimba+brass)

But go, go
Warmth, oh, tenderness
I'm going
