Ki Melem - Black Boy перевод на английский

Ki Melem

Moun bò isi, yo pap regle anyen
Chak jou leve, chita la pale moun mal
Yo neglijan, yo kon'n pa gentan pou benyen
Fè fèzè kay moun, pandan lakay yo tou sal

Si ou tap bwate ou wè yo, ou mèt tou chita sou li
Li'k pral boto'w ale, menmsi avè'w lap souri
Pandan lavò'w, lap fout ou kout trèt
Li tande'w pral pati, sa gentan bal gro tèt

Pwoblèm nou, nou jalou
Nou pata vle yon lòt pase'l monte
Pwogrè nou, lwen de nou
Mtande'l rayi'm men kimele'm

Ki mele'm, ki mele'm, depi BonDye renmen'm sa'm te ba'w regle ou rayi'm
Ki mele'm, ki mele'm, depi Yawe renmen'm sa'm te ba'w regle ou rayi'm

Ou pa lajan veye'm, ou pa kòb antèman'm
Depi BonDye renmen'm sa'm te ba'w regle ou rayi'm
Ou pa tèt sèkèy mwen, ou pa plas kavo mwen
Depi Yawe renmen'm sa'm te ba'w regle ou rayi'm

Chita la pap fè anyen
Chita la ap foure dan'w nan bagay ki pa regadeeee'www
Chita la fè tripotay
Pandan fanmi'w nan grangou
Pale'm mal, sak pi byen pase'm

Ou fè manman'w panse olye li te genyen'w
Pito'l te gon vye lam, chak ane li ta donnen
Ou fè papa'w panse olye li te genyen'w
Pito'l te gon pye mango, lè'l donnen'l ta pran de grenn
Pito'l te gon pye bannann lè'l donnen li ta vann rejim yo
Pito'l dwe yon jaden yanm lè'l donnen li ta peye lekol piti yo

Defwa yon moun konn posede yon bagay
Ou pa konn kisa'l fè pou li genyen li
Se may li,
Se nan'm li
Se sa li fè pou kou e lap pase sou li
Se onè li
Se respè li

Ou rayi mwen pou talan'm men kimele'm

People around here, they ain't gonna fix anything
Every day they wake up, sit there and talk bad about people
They're careless, they don't even bother to take a bath
They mess up other people's homes, while theirs are filthy

If you were limping, you'd see them, you could sit on them too
They'll help you up, even though they're smiling at you
While you're washing, they'll stab you in the back
They hear you're leaving, it already makes them feel big

Our problem is that we're jealous
We don't want another to rise above us
Our progress is far away from us
I hear you hate me but you're meddling in my affairs

What's it to you, what's it to you, since God loves me, what you gave me to fix, you hate me
What's it to you, what's it to you, since Yahweh loves me, what you gave me to fix, you hate me

You're not my money watcher, you're not my burial money
Since God loves me, what you gave me to fix, you hate me
You're not my coffin head, you're not my grave space
Since Yahweh loves me, what you gave me to fix, you hate me

Sitting there doing nothing
Sitting there sticking your nose in things that don't concern youuuuu
Sitting there gossiping
While your family is hungry
Talking bad about me, the one who's better off than you

You make your mom think that instead of having you
She'd rather have an old machete, every year it would give
You make your dad think that instead of having you
He'd rather have a mango tree, when it gives, he'd take two seeds
He'd rather have a banana tree, when it gives, he'd sell the bunches
He'd rather have a yam field, when it gives, he'd pay for the little ones' school

Sometimes a person owns something
You don't know what he did to get it
It's his sweat
It's his soul
It's what he did for it, and he's going to spend it
It's his honor
It's his respect

You hate me for my talent, but you're meddling in my affairs
