Hey, heyWo ou wo
Hey, heyWo ou wo

Beautiful little Creole girlBel ti fanm kréyol
Put your hands upMet' men si koté
Life ain't always prettyLa vi pa toujou bel
But don't let the struggles make you shakeHo mè mizè pa fè'w tremblé
Since the sun came upDépi soley lévé
Until the line appearsJis tan la line parèt
You bend down to the groundOu kouwbé do a tè
To feed your kids (hey, yeah, yeah)Pou ba pitit' manjé (hé y yié ter)
Oh love, loveHo lov' lov'

Hey, heyWo ou wo
