Текст и перевод песни Stevy Mahy - Si'w pé

Si'w pé

Siw pé méné mwen avé'w
Dot koté, on dot bô, adan dot océan
Siw pé méné mwen avé'w
Pou vwè soleyl bégné tout' flè a flamboyan
E si ou dako nou ké ri an ba la lin
E bwè bon toloman
E si ou dako nou ké enmé

Siw pé méné mwen avè'w
Pou pran lodè latè
Sizé koté manman
Siw pé méné mwen avè'w
Pou vwé la pli tombé, zèb guiné vini gran
E si ou dako
An ké changé tout niaj, tout syel gri an bo tan
E si mové tan
An ké vini paravan, vini paravan

Ref
Kouté la pli la chanté pou tout' ko
Pou tout' nanm pou lespri aséché
Méné'm pas ' a dé nou pli fô

Siw pé méné mwen avéw
Meme si ou pati san mwen
Kimbé mwen an didan'w
Siw pé méné mwen avé'w
Kadans' a kè an mwen
Féy li bat an didan'w
E si ou dako
Bô tout' ravin', an tout' môn'
Ou ké dansé ban mwen
Mem si an pa a bô
Mwen ké toujou koté'w

Ref

Kouté la pli la chanté pou tout kô
Pou tout' nanm pou lespwi aséché
Méném' pas a dé nou pli fô

If You Take Me

If you take me with you
Somewhere else, somewhere beautiful, in a different ocean
If you take me with you
To see the sun kiss all the flamboyant flowers
And if you agree, we'll laugh under the lime trees
And drink good rum
And if you agree, we'll fall in love

If you take me with you
To smell the scent of the earth
To see where my mother is
If you take me with you
To see the rain fall, the guinea grass grow tall
And if you agree
We'll transform all the clouds, all the gray skies into sunshine
And if the weather's bad
We'll become a shelter, a shelter

Chorus
Listen to the rain sing for all hearts
For all souls for spirits parched
Take me there where we'll both be stronger

If you take me with you
Even if you leave without me
Hold me in your heart
If you take me with you
The rhythm of my heart
Let it beat within you
And if you agree
Oh, all the ravines, in all the mountains
You will dance for me
Even if it's not beautiful
I'll always be by your side

Chorus

Listen to the rain sing for all hearts
For all souls for spirits parched
Take me there where we'll both be stronger
