Doméyis

Doméyis mako, nonm'a la vaniy
La tiwbin'i ka twavay
Gadé siwo doudou i minnin' baw mé zanmi
Doméyis mako, nonm'a la vaniy
La tiwbin'i ka twavay
Gadé siwo doudou i minnin' baw mé zanmi

Siw konèt' Domeyis, kontrimèt' an lizin'
I rivé fé yich' épi kouzinn' marèn' matan' li
Dépi i jwen' an manmzel' i bizwen mennenye an syel
Sé pou sa an péyi a lé I pasé yo ka kriyéyé

Doméyis mako, nonm'a la vaniy
La tiwbin'i ka twavay
Gadé siwo doudou i minnin' baw mé zanmi
Doméyis mako, nonm'a la vaniy
La tiwbin'i ka twavay
Gadé siwo doudou i minnin' baw mé zanmi

Mé alé an mone la bo kaye li
Sé la kéy rivé twouvé chalé
Lèw pilé a sou pa la lot pot'li
Ou ka respiré an lodé tendres'

Menm si jan komin' la pa chèché konpwan' li
Kriyé'y malfétè yo di i ka fé dowlis'
Doméyis' pa ka mété lèspriye asou sa
Yo wè i pé pa wè an jipon pasé

Pé pa, pé pa
Rété san dousè
Domi san chalè'a
Pé pa, pé pa
Rété san dousè
Domi san chalè'a

Adan près' tout' konmin' o mwen senk ti manmaye
Mé i toujou ba yo bré, i toujou ba yo manjé
Jou bon djé ké kriyé'y pou di i ja fé asé
An lo moun' kèy rigrité an tan yo té ka chanté

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

Dépi i jwen' an manmzel'
I bizwen mennenye an syel
Sétièm' syel

I Pé pa, I pé pa

Rété san dousè
Domi san chalè

Mé alé, mé alé
Chalé, tendres'
Mé alééééé...

Doméyis

My dear, that man is vain
His turbine is working
See how that fool is begging me, my friend
My dear, that man is vain
His turbine is working
See how that fool is begging me, my friend

If you know Domeyis, contribute to his laziness
He managed to have sex with his cousin's godmother
Since he met a young lady, he needs to take her to heaven
That's why they scream when he passes by in the country

My dear, that man is vain
His turbine is working
See how that fool is begging me, my friend
My dear, that man is vain
His turbine is working
See how that fool is begging me, my friend

But come on, go to his house
That's where you'll find warmth
When he pounds on the door of his neighbor's pot
You can breathe in a tender embrace

Even if his neighbors don't try to understand him
They call him a hooligan, they say he's making love
Doméyis doesn't pay attention to that
They see that he can't see a skirt pass by

Can't, can't
Stay without sweetness
A home without warmth
Can't, can't
Stay without sweetness
A home without warmth

He has at least five children with different women
But he always gives them money, he always feeds them
One fine day, God will call him to tell him that he has done enough
In the other world, people will regret the time they sang

My dear, that man is vain
Yélélé, yélélé, yéléla

Since he met a young lady
He needs to take her to heaven
Seventh heaven

He can't, He can't

Stay without sweetness
A home without warmth

But come on, come on
Warmth, tenderness
Come onnnnnnnn...
