Текст и перевод песни Kassav' - Pa té pou viré

Pa té pou viré

Mwen té pou kité tou sa dòmi
Pas menm ou ka di sa fini
Ou jen sav lè i ka malmenné'w
Nou toujou sav sa pou fè
Lè an lot ka pléré pou bay tjè
Touvé pawol pou di lavi ké bel
Lè sé pa wou ki ka manjé fiel
Si listwa té bel sé kon sa i ké rété
Pa mandé mwen rayi'w
Pa kouté moun palé
Ti doudou
Nanana nanana nanana na na na na nanana...
Mwen révé'w koté mwen
Sé ou mwen lé
Délè ou an tet-mwen
Nanana nanana nanana na na na na nanana...
Mwen sé lé'w koté mwen
Sé ou mwen lé
Wo ou wo sé'w mwen ka révé
Mwen ka gadé'w souri
E mwen la ka manti
Tout kò-mwen ka senyen
Sé wou ki la sé wou ki an tet-mwen
Mwen sé lé pran kouri
Pou tjè-mwen pa griji
Mwen pri mwen ka jiré
Sé wou tou sel, sé wou tou sel mwen ka révé
Nanana nanana nanana na na na na nanana...
An révé'w koté mwen
Sé ou mwen lé
Délè ou an tet-mwen...
Dou pa otjipé'w di sa
Lanmou pa ka mò konsa,
Dou pa otjipé'w di sa
Tjenbé mwen, tjenbé mwen!
Dou pa otjipé'w di sa
On jou nou ké ri di sa
Dou pa otjipé'w di sa
Tjenbé mwen, tjenbé mwen!
Mwen sav an pé ké pé mandé'w déviré
Davwè sé wou tou sel ki ka chwazi
Kisa ou lé
Tan-a two kout é mwen za ka roupati
Mé sé sel bagay ké soulajé mwen
Mwen sav menm si ou pa ka jan déviré
An ké toujou lé sav si kò a'w bon
Ki jan ou yé
Tan-a tro kout é an lavi pa sifi
Pou an fè'w konpwann sé'w an ka sonjé
An sav...
Mwen pa té pou viré isi
An té pou kité tou sa dòmi, dòmi
An sav, an sav... tan tro kout é fò mwen pati
An sav, an sav... mé sé sel bagay ké soulajé mwen...

I Can't Turn My Back

I was going to let all this lie dormant
Because you can't say it's over
Yet you know when you're being mistreated
We always know what to do
When someone cries for help
Find the words to say life will be beautiful
When it's not you who's eating poison
If the story was beautiful, that's how it would stay
Don't ask me to hate you
Don't listen to people talking
My little love
Nanana nanana nanana na na na na nanana...
I dream of you by my side
It's you that I want
Your delight is on my mind
Nanana nanana nanana na na na na nanana...
I want you by my side
It's you that I want
Your words, your voice, it's you I dream of
I watch you smile
And I lie here
My whole body is trembling
It's you who are here, you who are on my mind
I want to run away
So that my heart doesn't suffer
I swear I pray
It's you alone, it's you alone who I dream about
Nanana nanana nanana na na na na nanana...
I dream of you by my side
It's you that I want
Your delight is on my mind...
Darling, don't bother telling me that
Love can't die just like that,
Darling, don't bother telling me that
Hold me, hold me!
Darling, don't bother telling me that
One day we'll laugh about this
Darling, don't bother telling me that
Hold me, hold me!
I know it's a bit much to ask you to turn around
Because it's you alone who can choose
What you want
Time is short, and I'm already starting to give up
But it's the only thing that will relieve me
I know that even if you can't turn around
I will always want to know if your body is well
How are you
Time is too short, and life is not enough
For me to make you understand that it's you I think of
I know...
I should not have turned back here
I should have let all this lie dormant, dormant
I know, I know... time is too short, and I have to leave
I know, I know... but it's the only thing that will relieve me...
