Paroles et traduction Maya Kamaty - Takambé

Takambé

Kinm an malizé ralé
Ma tyinbo for mon kaba
Kinm dernyé rozyé fané
Ma grinn an lor mon kavya

La nwit an bout tonm tonbé
La vi lé pann pandiyé
La kwit i anmar anmaré
Mon kèr tabla bonm bonbé

Kaminm kri amwin sorsyé
Mon gran déginn landiablé
Mi shant, mi grinn palanké
Mon pans sa po takanmbé

Kinm an so blaké galé
Mon patatèr vétivér
Kinm an lam la mér baté
Manpokabri mon tonèr

Lo syél malèr malèré
Bondyé oubli oubliyé
In fanm sonbli sonbliyé
Mon flan pikèr bat baté

Kaminm an raz douléré
Kinm an tramay saroyé
An sap lomay saviré
Mon pans sa po tanbouré

Sweet Boy

I'll take away your pain
Darling, for my sake
I'll be the last rose that blooms
My tears shall fall in your chalice

The night has fallen
Life is a chain
The heart's a-bleeding
My heart beats like a drum

Like a witch, I'll make you forget
My love will bewitch you
I'll sing, I'll dance
My thoughts are about you

Like a charred log fire
My vetiver potatoes
Like a boat tossed by the sea
My cowardly lover

The sky is miserable
God has forgotten
A woman is forgotten
My heart aches

Like a thorn that burns
Like a crushed dream
A sap will know
My thoughts are about you
