Pawol Granmoun

Mwen té ni granm pa lè kouté
Mé si ki sa ou ka diya
Lè granmoun té ka raconté piting pita ou pri an sa
Adan lavi i ni zombi
Ki sik é sa ou ka fè ya
Ki ka maré lespri jennfi
Piting pita ou pri an sa

Zonbi a ké fè zié dou
Pou maré mwen
I pé changé fidji pou
Maré mwen
Lè mwen tann yo di
I maré mwen

Aaaaaaa
Yo di i té fè zié dou
Pou maré mwen

Lè mwen tan yo di

Piting pita ou pri an sa
Té ka palé bel ti fransé
Ki sik é sa ou ka fè ya

Mwen pa té ka wè douvan mwen, ti bolonm lan véglé mwen
Pa té pé gadé dèyè mwen, boug la maré lespri mwen
Mwen pa ka rikonnet ko mwen, i manjé lajan mwen
Sa mwen alé chèché, mwen twouvé'y

Mi sé sa ka rivé lè ou tro antété
Pa janmen lé kouté lè granmoun ka palé
Mi sé sa ka rivé manmay ka voumvapè
An manni méprisé sa granmoun raconté

Tounen tounen viré viré
Woy mi ti bolonm lan véglé mwen
Afos an enmen'y an pé sa ladjé'y
Mem si'y ka manjé lajan mwen
Mi sé sa ka rivé manmay ka voumvapè
An manni méprisé sa granmoun raconté

Tounen tounen viré viré
Woy malfentè a véglé mwen
Afos an enmen'y an pa sa kité'y
Mem si an ja pèd l'honnè mwen

Mi sé sa ka rivé lè ou tro antété
Pa janmen lé kouté lè granmoun ka palé
Mi sé sa ka rivé manmay ka voumvapè
An manni méprisé sa granmoun raconté

Kouté Pawol Granmoun créol
Mé sé ki sa ou ka ya

Twouvé twouvé
An nomm péké

Ké ba mwen lanmou,
Dousè toupatou...

Grandmother's Story

I didn't listen to my grandfather
But that's what you used to say
When the elders used to tell their ghost stories
There are zombies in life
What are you going to do about it?
Which can seize the young minds
Ghost stories

The zombie will make sweet eyes
To catch me
He can change face
To catch me
When I hear them say
He caught me
I used to laugh about it
Aaaaaaa
They say he made sweet eyes
To catch me
Put me on my knees
To catch me
When I hear them say
He caught me
I used to laugh about it
Aaaaaaa

I'll tell you above
But that's what you used to say
To young people who escaped very well
Ghost stories
Used to speak beautiful French
What are you going to do about it?
Made me capsize my canoe
Ghost stories

The zombie will make sweet eyes
To catch me
Put me on my knees
To catch me
I didn't dare say
He caught me
For people not to laugh about it
Aaaaaaa
The zombie makes sweet eyes
To catch me
Put me on my knees
To catch me
I didn't dare say
He caught me
So they wouldn't laugh about it
Aaaaaaa

I couldn't see in front of me, the little man blinded me
Couldn't look behind me, the guy tied up my spirit
I can't recognize myself, he eats my money
What I went looking for, I found it

That's what can happen when you're too stubborn
Never wanting to listen when the elders speak
That's what can happen to children who rebel
By foolishly despising what the elders tell you

Turn around, turn around
Hey, the little man blinded me
Since I love him a little bit, I'll let him go
Even if he eats my money
That's what can happen to children who rebel
By foolishly despising what the elders tell you

Turn around, turn around
Hey, the villain blinded me
Since I love him, I won't leave him
Even if I have already lost my honor

That's what can happen when you're too stubborn
Never wanting to listen when the elders speak
That's what can happen to children who rebel
By foolishly despising what the elders tell you

Listen to the Words of Creole Grandmothers
But that's what you used to say
They speak in parables
Ghost stories
Which can seize the young minds
What are you going to do about it?
It's vagabonds who are zombie brothers
Ghost stories

Vagabond, if you come
To catch me
Go your own way
Catch me
If you understand
You catch me
You'll cry about it
Aaaaaaaa
Vagabond, if you come
To catch me
I won't be the one to give you the code
Catch me
If you understand
You catch me
You'll cry about it
Aaaaaaaa

One day I will
Find, find
A man who will not be
Evil
Won't be able to catch me
Won't be able to blind me
I know I will
Find, find
A man who will not be
Evil
Who will respect me
Who will woo me
I know I will
Find, find
A man who not be
Evil
Who will give me love,
Tenderness everywhere...
