Doumbé Doum

Mi nou la ka révé, djòl ouvè bouden plen
Ka ba labsolityon séléra é kotchen
Plita toujou pli tris, sé jòdi ou ka fè dèmen
Pwan sa ki ta'w mennen'y monté
I ké touvé rèspé
Lè nou la ka pléré, pandan moun' ka woulé
Pwan tan sonjé si'w pa ni tchè boujé
Bèf douvan toujou ka bwè dlo klè
Pou wè rasin, fouyé latè...
Mwen pé pa rivé gadé siléma san chouboulé
Lè ou sispann palé ou ka sispann ègzisté
Nou lé wè an lòt solèy vini kléré
Tout pyé bwa nou mété pousé an tchè péyi ya
Si laswè nou pa ka wouzéy
Mwen sav i ké " ovwa "
Manmay, sé zantray latè ki ka palé Piyapapaw
Fodré nou kouté'y Piyapapa a
Lontan, ni an doulè nou ka téré Piyapapaw
Nou simyé angwé
Doumbé doumbé doum an ti kay la
Sé pitché désann oubyen monté
Si'w pa konnèt koté'w sòti, koté ou yé, kikoté'w pé alé
Doumbé doumbé doum an ti kay la
Sé pitché désann oubyen monté
Sa nou la ka atann péké janmen rivé an lan men nou

Doumbé Doum

We are waking up, the sun opens a full day
Giving absolution to the hangover and bitterness
Later always sadder, today you make tomorrow
Take what is yours and take it up
You will find respect
When we are crying, while people are rolling
Take time to remember if you have nothing to move
The ox in front always drinks clear water
To see the roots, dig the earth...
I may not be able to watch the movie without being moved
When you stop talking you stop existing
We want to see another sun come to shine
All the trees we planted grew in this country
If tonight we don't move
I know it will be "yes"
Man, it's the depths of the earth that speak Piyapapaw
We must listen to him Piyapapa a
For a long time, we have been carrying pain Piyapapaw
We are filled with anguish
Doumbé doumbé doum in the little house
It's either going down or going up
If you don't know where you came from, where you are, where you can go
Doumbé doumbé doum in the little house
It's either going down or going up
What we are waiting for may never come into our hands
This year, it's time to push
Reach our hands alone
This year, it's time to push
Mamay we're going, push
Doumbé doumbé doum ... climb
Yes, yes
Doumbé doumbé doum ... climb
Open, open, we pass
Doumbé doumbé doum ... climb
Push, push
Doumbé doumbé doum ... climb
We are climbing
This year, it's time to push
Man, it's the depths of the earth that speak
You have to listen to it
For a long time, we have been carrying pain
It must dry
Doumbé doumbé doum ... climb
Take all that is yours, take all that is yours and take it up
Doumbé doumbé doum ... climb
Push, it's time for us to go, push, it's time for us to climb, woy
Doumbé doumbé doum ... climb
Take all that is yours, take all that is yours
