La Caraïbe (Live)

Han han, yeh man Selassie Rastafarie ...

La Caraïbe ne nous appartient pas, On n′a jamais dit ça
C'est uniquement pour travailler, Qu′on nous a emmenés là
L'abolition de l'esclavage physique, Théoriquement on l′a
Chacun fait maintenant ce qu′il veut, Moi, je veux rentrer chez moi

Parce que chacun sait que Martinique, Guadeloupe ou Guyane
La situation empire ça devient incontrôlable
Des générations entières ont souffert bien plus qu'au bagne
L′an 2000, et pas une plantation aux descendants d'esclaves
Il faut savoir que je ne juge personne et personne je ne blâme
Mais si beaucoup de jeunes s′obstinent à se tourner vers la came
C'est parce que certaines personnes ont droit à ce qu′on ne les condamne
Ne me dit pas que tu ne sais pas
Qu'ils rentrent la coke au kilogramme

La Caraïbe ne nous appartient pas, On n'a jamais dit ça
C′est uniquement pour travailler, Qu′on nous a emmenés là
L'abolition de l′esclavage physique, Théoriquement on l'a
Chacun fait maintenant ce qu′il veut, Moi, je veux rentrer chez moi

Il y en a qui se battent pour l'indépendance
Mais la majorité préfère être sous la tutelle de la France
Suivre les lois de son système pour eux est une assurance
Pour montrer qu′ils adhèrent à fond marquent leurs préférences
En consommant de tout ce qui vient de l'extérieur à outrance
'Faut savoir que je ne fais pas partie de leurs manigances
Coûte que coûte et quoi qu′ils fassent
Ils ne changeront pas c′que j'en pense
Depuis mon enfance
J′éprouve pour l'Afrique une attirance

La Caraïbe ne nous appartient pas, On n′a jamais dit ça
C'est uniquement pour travailler, Qu′on nous a emmenés là
L'abolition de l'esclavage physique, Théoriquement on l′a
Chacun fait maintenant ce qu′il veut, Moi, je veux rentrer chez moi

Tout' moun rikonét sa yo fé
Yo rikonét sa yo di
Dot ka atend toujou ke yo fé
Pou profité de la vi
Ki sa zot comprend yo ké fé
De plus ke sa ki ni jodi
Pa tend di pésonn a lé
Faudré nou travay pou ni
Mém si nou ka sonjé
Ki mannyé Gran Papa nou Soufé
Pou sa trapé
Tibrin liberté
Tché yo té ke′y rachté
Di wé nou viv san an moso té kita nou
Adan an péyi ke yo goumin pou tchimbé
Tout' mannyé nou la pou wé
Tout′ mannyé nou la pou di
Si i ni dé bagay nou ka wé
Sé a nou di réaji
Odua ja adan an ladjé
A sou sa i fini di
Fok sav' sa pa ka fé′y pé'y
Doubout déyè sa i ka di ...

La Caraïbe ne nous appartient pas, On n'a jamais dit ça
C′est uniquement pour travailler, Qu′on nous a emmenés là
L'abolition de l′esclavage physique, Théoriquement on l'a
Chacun fait maintenant ce qu′il veut, Moi, je veux rentrer chez moi

The Caribbean (Live)

Han han, yeh man Selassie Rastafarie ...

The Caribbean doesn't belong to us, we never said that,
It was solely for work, that they brought us here.
The abolition of physical slavery, theoretically we have it,
Everyone now does what they want, me, I want to go back home.

Because everyone knows that Martinique, Guadeloupe or Guyana,
The situation is getting worse, it's becoming uncontrollable.
Entire generations have suffered more than in prison,
The year 2000, and not a single plantation belongs to the descendants of slaves.
You should know that I don't judge anyone and I don't blame anyone,
But if many young people persist in turning to drugs,
It's because some people have the right to not be condemned.
Don't tell me you don't know
That they bring in coke by the kilogram.

The Caribbean doesn't belong to us, we never said that,
It was solely for work, that they brought us here.
The abolition of physical slavery, theoretically we have it,
Everyone now does what they want, me, I want to go back home.

There are some who fight for independence,
But the majority prefer to be under the tutelage of France.
Following the laws of its system is an assurance for them,
To show that they fully adhere, they mark their preferences
By consuming everything that comes from outside excessively.
You should know that I'm not part of their schemes,
No matter the cost and what they do,
They won't change what I think of it.
Since my childhood,
I have felt an attraction to Africa.

The Caribbean doesn't belong to us, we never said that,
It was solely for work, that they brought us here.
The abolition of physical slavery, theoretically we have it,
Everyone now does what they want, me, I want to go back home.

Everyone recognizes what they've done,
They recognize what they say,
Some are still waiting for them to do,
To enjoy life.
What do they understand they will do,
More than what we have today,
Don't listen to anyone say it's easy,
We have to work for it.
Even if we remember,
How our Grandfathers suffered,
For this trap,
A bit of freedom,
Look at what they bought,
Tell me we live without a piece of land left to us,
In a country they stole to exploit,
Anyway we are here to see,
Anyway we are here to say,
If there are two things we see,
It's to tell us to react.
Odua is already in the lead,
That's what he ends up saying,
You have to know it doesn't scare him,
Standing behind what he says ...

The Caribbean doesn't belong to us, we never said that,
It was solely for work, that they brought us here.
The abolition of physical slavery, theoretically we have it,
Everyone now does what they want, me, I want to go back home.
