Paroles et traduction Ralph Thamar - Exil

Exil

J'ai si longtemps rêvé de ce pays lointain
Que j'ai réinventé ses bruits et ses parfums
Les rythmes d'aujoud'hui mêlés au sons d'hier
Scandent ma nostalgie, réchauffe mon hiver
Parfois île volcan
Et parfois île fleur
J'en connais les beauté
J'en connais les douleurs
Des contes oubliés naissent du souvenir
Entre les pleurs on se prend à rire

Nou ja maché an tout koté
Ni lontan nou ka vwayajé
Dépi tan-an nou ka drivé
Atjèlman nou la nou rivé
Jòdijou nou ké janbé dlo-a
Nou ja konnèt tout péyi
An vyé chanson ka di: man pa moun lòt bò, man sé moun isi

Je suis né loin d'ici pourtant je suis d'ici
Je reconnais des mots que je n'ai pas appris
Et la voix, douce amer
La voix de l'orphelin
Redit des mots, les mots qui ont faim

Nou ja maché an tout koté
Ni lontan nou ka vwayajé
Dépi tan-an nou ka drivé
Atjèlman nou la nou rivé
Jòdijou nou ké janbé dlo-a
Nou ja konnèt tout péyi
An vyé chanson ka di: man pa moun lòt bò, man sé moun isi

Je suis né loin d'ici pourtant je suis d'ici
Je reconnais des mots que je n'ai pas appris
Et la voix, douce amer
La voix de l'orphelin
Redit des mots, les mots qui ont faim

Nou ja maché an tout koté
Ni lontan nou ka vwayajé
Dépi tan-an nou ka drivé
Atjèlman nou la nou rivé
Jòdijou nou ké janbé dlo-a
Nou ja konnèt tout péyi
An vyé chanson ka di: man pa moun lòt bò, man sé moun isi

Nou ja maché an tout koté
Ni lontan nou ka vwayajé
Dépi tan-an nou ka drivé
Atjèlman nou la, nou rivé
Jòdijou nou ké janbé dlo-a
Nou ja konnèt tout péyi
An vyé chanson ka di: man pa moun lòt bò...

Exile

I have dreamed of this distant land for so long
That I have reinvented its sounds and scents
Today's rhythms mingled with the sounds of yesterday
Punctuate my nostalgia, warm my winter
Sometimes a volcanic island
And sometimes a flower island
I know its beauties
I know its pains
Forgotten tales are born from memory
Between tears we start to laugh

We traveled everywhere
We have been traveling for a long time
We have been driving for a long time
Now we are here, we have arrived
Today we're going to cross the water
We have already seen every country
An old song says: I am not someone from the other side, I am someone from here

I was born far from here, yet I am from here
I recognize words I have not learned
And the voice, bittersweet
The voice of the orphan
Repeating words, words that are hungry

We traveled everywhere
We have been traveling for a long time
We have been driving for a long time
Now we are here, we have arrived
Today we're going to cross the water
We have already seen every country
An old song says: I am not someone from the other side, I am someone from here

I was born far from here, yet I am from here
I recognize words I have not learned
And the voice, bittersweet
The voice of the orphan
Repeating words, words that are hungry

We traveled everywhere
We have been traveling for a long time
We have been driving for a long time
Now we are here, we have arrived
Today we're going to cross the water
We have already seen every country
An old song says: I am not someone from the other side, I am someone from here

We traveled everywhere
We have been traveling for a long time
We have been driving for a long time
Now we're here, we arrived
Today we're going to cross the water
We have already seen every country
An old song says: I'm not someone from the other side...
