Mother Earth

Kay Manman

Where is it?Koté sa yé?
Where can we end up?Koté pou nou fini laswaré?
My mother earth has a time that is spinningKay manman mwen ni an tan ki ka woulé

Mother earth will trembleKay manman latè ké tranblé
Mother earth will trembleKay manman latè ké tranblé
Mother earth will trembleKay manman latè ké tranblé
Mother earth will trembleKay manman latè ké tranblé

Take a paper and a crayonPran an papyé é an kréyon
So I can give you a directionPou mwen pé ba'w an ki fason
You can find your way without getting lostOu pé twouvé san ou garé
Where my mother staysKoté manman mwen ka rété
When you pass the balconyLè'w pasé bèlvèdé-a
Turn left, climb the hillViré agoch, monté mon-lan
The big white house, it's not there yetGran kaz blan-an, sé pòkò sa
Look for the one that is hiddenChèché tala ka soukwé-a

Mother earth will trembleKay manman latè ké tranblé
If there's chaos, it's a habitSi ni dézòd sé abitié
Mother earth will trembleKay manman latè ké tranblé
Because the music won't stopPask mizik-la pé ké bésé
Mother earth will trembleKay manman latè ké tranblé
My mother earth will trembleKay manman mwen latè ké tranblé
Mother earth will trembleKay manman latè ké tranblé

What are you doing, brother? How are you?Sa'w fè, bofrè? Kijan ou yé?
And you, miss, what's the latest?É vou, konmè, ki dényé fé?
There's no need to stay seatedPa ni zafè rété sizé
If you have dirty feet, wear shoesSi'w ni mal pyé woté soulié
The taste behind is not yet washedLagout déyè pòkò mannyé
And for eating, don't calculateE pou manjé pa kalkilé
When the music is playingLè mizik-la ka déboulé
It's support for us to goSé apiyé pou nou alé

Let's go! Let's go!Annou alé! Annou alé!
Let's go! Let's go!Annou alé! Annou alé!

It's not the sun rising that makes me lie downSé pa solèy ki ka lévé ké fè mwen kouché
It's not the sun rising that makes me lie downSé pa solèy ki ka lévé ké fè mwen kouché
It's not the sun rising that makes me lie downSé pa solèy ki ka lévé ké fè mwen kouché
It's not the sun rising that makes me lie downSé pa solèy ki ka lévé ké fè mwen kouché

What are you doing, brother? Are you still good?Sa'w fè, bofrè? Ou toujou bien?
And you, miss, what's the latest?É vou, konmè, ki dényé fé?
There's no need to stay seatedPa ni zafè rété sizé
If you have dirty feet, wear shoesSi'w ni mal pyé woté soulié
The taste behind is not yet washedLagout déyè pòko mannyé
And for eating, don't calculateE pou manjé pa kalkilé
When the music is playingLè mizik-la ka déboulé
It's support for us to goSé apiyé pou nou alé

The cow will move, the sheep will talkKawo ké boujé, lémou ké palé
Mother earth will trembleKay manman latè ké tranblé
Hey! Don't climb on my roofWoy! Pa monté anlè zòtèy mwen
Mother earth will trembleKay manman latè ké tranblé
Even if the sun decides to riseMenm si solèy désidé lévé
Mother earth will trembleKay manman latè ké tranblé
The scent of sweat will find me hereSentjè di swè ké twouvé mwen la
Mother earth will trembleKay manman latè ké tranblé
