Текст и перевод песни Kassav' - Fo pa fann

Fo pa fann

I palé, palé, i palé, palé é
I palé tou sel pèsonn pa té ka kouté'y
I palé, palé, i palé, palé é
Konsidiré sé dènié fwa i_té ka palé
Mwen té tann, boug-tala ja fou
Pa lapenn ou otjipé
I ka plen tet-ou tout lè dépi douvan-jou
Ki ou lé ki ou pa lé
I palé, palé, i palé, palé é
Pa sav poukisa jou-tala nou ay kouté'y
I palé, palé, i palé, pléré é
Sa_i té ka di ya té bel kon dlo larouzé
Fo pa fann! Fo pa fann!
Sé wou ka chwazi ki koté ou ka alé
Fo pa fann! I di'w Fo pa fann!
Pa kouté tala ka di'w ou pé pa rivé
Ou ni lespri'w, ou ni tet-ou
Ou ni lanmen'w, ou ni lanmou
Si'w ni lafwa, ou pé rivé
Manmay (?) kouté mwen pa ladjé
Lavi-ya sé pa kontribann
Fann kann ... Manmay fo pa fann!
Ou ni lespri'w, ou ni tet-ou
Ou ni lanmen'w, ou ni lanmou
Pa éséyé, sé fè pou fè
Fo'w aprann fè pou pa tèbè
Lè'w ka tjoké ou ka ped tan
Lè'w ka ped tan ou ped lajan
Manmay fo pa fann!
Fo pa fann! An... yayay, Tjébé! Fo pa fann!
Fo pa fann! I di'w fo pa fann!
Fè kon si ayen pé ké fè'w sispann vansé
Yo di mwen, boug-tala garé
Mé ki moun ki ja kouté'y
Sa_i ka di ya pé fè manmay-nou vansé
Ki ou lé ki ou pa lé
I palé, palé, i palé, palé é
Pa sav poukisa jou-tala nou ay kouté'y
I palé, i pres pléré, pléré é
Sa_i té ka di ya té bel kon dlo larouzé é
Fo pa fann! Fo pa fann!
Sé wou ka chwazi ki koté ou ka alé...
Fo pa fann! I di'w fo pa fann!
Fè konsi ayen pé ké fè'w sispann vansé
Ou pé pa konnet si'w pa aprann fè avan
Tjoké sé tjoké, sa pé pa fè'w tounen gran
Lè'w rété bladjé lanrestan ka ba'y douvan
Pli ta ké pli tris si'w ka dòmi, lè'w vayan
Fo pa fann! Fo pa fann!
Sé wou ka chwazi ki koté ou vlé alé...
Fo pa fann! I di'w fo pa fann!
Fè kon si ayen pé ké fè'w sispann vansé

Don't Give Up

He talked, talked, talked and talked
Talked all alone, nobody listened to him
He talked, talked, talked and talked
Considering it was the last time he spoke
I thought, that guy's already crazy
Don't bother yourself
He fills your head all the time, since the day before
Whether you like it or not
He talked, talked, talked and talked
Don't know why that day we listened to him
He talked, talked, talked and cried
What he was saying was beautiful like rose water
Don't give up! Don't give up!
It's you who chooses where you go
Don't give up! He tells you, Don't give up!
Don't listen to those who say you can't make it
You have your mind, you have your head
You have your hands, you have love
If you have faith, you can make it
Girl, listen to me, don't let go
Life is not a sugar cane field
Cutting cane... Girl, don't give up!
You have your mind, you have your head
You have your hands, you have love
Don't just try, do it for real
You have to learn to do it right
When you stumble, you lose time
When you lose time, you lose money
Girl, don't give up!
Don't give up! Come on... yayay, hold on! Don't give up!
Don't give up! I tell you, don't give up!
Act as if nothing can stop you from moving forward
They tell me, that guy is crazy
But who ever listened to him
What he says can make our people move forward
Whether you like it or not
He talked, talked, talked and talked
Don't know why that day we listened to him
He talked, he almost cried, cried and
What he was saying was beautiful like rose water and
Don't give up! Don't give up!
It's you who chooses where you go...
Don't give up! I tell you, don't give up!
Act as if nothing can stop you from moving forward
You can't know if you don't learn to do it first
Stumbling is stumbling, it won't make you big
When you stay stuck, the rest move on
Later will be sadder if you sleep while you're awake
Don't give up! Don't give up!
It's you who chooses where you want to go...
Don't give up! I tell you, don't give up!
Act as if nothing can stop you from moving forward
