Soukouyan (Live)

JEFF JOSEPH (soucouyan)

Bon dié ééé... avant mwen môôô...
Ban mwen la fôs pou aidé manman...
Mwen ka travay tout la jounin... inikeman pou rien
Et bon dié ké vwé tout' bitin mwen fè
Et lè mwen ké mô ...mwen ké resté a la paix...

Mwen té ka dômi on vendredi swoi
Lè mwen lévé vwè yon bagail nwoi
Mwen lévé vwé ki sa y té yé
Minm' moman mwen complexé
Mwen komansé hélé soukou... ka kour kon moun' ki fou

Refrain + chœurs

Minm' moman, méssié mwen lévé
Pou vini vwè ki sa y té yé
Dé vwoisin' passé pot' là, pou vinivwè soukouyan là
Mwen minm' mwen alé dérô, pou kryé dôt' moun anko

Refrain + chœurs + ambiance+ solo clavier

Ti vermine la douce-ti vermine là bon
Ti verminé là pâti bô lakay
Pou mwen pé sa fè y woulé ban mwen
Refrain + chœurs+koda

JEFF JOSEPH (soucouyan)

My God, before I die...
Give me the strength to help my mother...
I work all day long... for nothing
And God will see all the good I do
And when I die... I will rest in peace...

I was sleeping one Friday night
When I woke up and saw something black
I got up to see what it was
And at that moment, I was afraid
I started calling out “soukouyan”… running like a madman

Chorus + backing vocals

At that moment, my dear, I got up
To see what it was
Two neighbors passed by, to see the soukouyan
I myself went outside, to call for more people

Chorus + backing vocals + atmosphere + keyboard solo

Little vermin, sweet little vermin my dear
Little vermin, go home now
So that I can make you roll for me
Chorus + backing vocals + coda
