Master DJI:
Depi lè w' piti y'ap pede repete-w
Ke si w' pa vle gen tray fò w' reziyen-w travay
Men ou piti, ou pa konprann
Koze sa tròp pou ou, w'ap relax sou yon kabann
Ou leve w' al lekòl, a midi ou Capitol
Ou wè lavi a bèl, chak jou gen lakansyèl
Lè egzamen rive nan bat bèt je-w enfle
Lè ou rive sou fèy ou wè w' ap fè mèvèy
Lè ou tande rezilta final, ou prèt pou w' fè skandal
Touye-w rache-w, se pa ou menm ki antò
Tonè boule-w, ou konnen w' fè efò
E poutan, lè sa ou santi-w dekouraje
Plis ane ap pase plis ou mande anraje
Ou akize lasosyete, w' komanse kritike
W' ap pale prejije, ou wè se ou k' te dwe rive
Men w' pa wè lè ou tap pran plezi
Te gen yon lòt ki tap redi
Gade kounye an l' reyisi
E se ou menm k' ape sibi
Se konsa nan lavi
Se tann pou w' tann, fò w' gen kouraj pou w' tann
Se tann pou w' tann e fò w' gen fyèl pou w' tann
Refrain:
Se tann pou w' tann (3x)
Master DJI:
Se listwa yon madmwazèl kite konnen l' te bèl
Men ki pat janm gen kòb pou l' te achte yon bèl ròb
Lè-l desann pòtoprens, l' ap gade bèl negès
Byen fre nan volan bèl machin
Pòtre lò k' gen dèyè vitrin
Li pa konn sal ta bay pou l' rive san travay
Men l' pa chache konnen ki mwayen ki genyen
Yon nèg ki tap pase nan yon BMW
Cheke manmzèl, san pèdi tan fè-l respire odè lajan
Anvan solèy gentan fin kouche
Malerèz la wè tout afè-l regle
Ane pase, li fin pran fil
Menm si y' ap lonje dwèt sou li, l' ap jwi lavi-l
E yon bon jou li tonbe damou
Men nèg la fè-l konprann se pa yon moun konsa li tap tann
Manmzèl kriye, li prèt pou l'mouri
Li gen lajan e poutan l'ap soufri
Li te gentan wè-l te nan paradi
Li pat dòmi reve yon jou konsa sa ta chanje
Men se tann pou w' tann, fò w' gen kouraj pou w' tann
Se tann pou w' tann men fò w' gen fyèl pou w' tann
Refrain:
Se tann pou w' tann (3x)
Master DJI:
Papash, di-m sa nou di
Papash:
Nou la nouvelle génération d'Haiti
Fòk nou met tèt ansanm pou nou ka rekonstwi
Nou konn tou sak te pase
Nou pata vle rekòmanse
Nou gen anpil travay pou n' fè
Pou nou rive fòk nou pa gad dèyè
E menm si fòk nou pran san tan zafè, zafè
Sak vin apre yo va profite
Va kontinye sa nou te kòmanse
Car se nou menm ki tout fòs yon nasyon
E n' ap fè back si nou nan divizyon
Fòk nou ka tann avan nou gen satisfaksyon
Master DJI (Papash):
Mwen di tann (Tann), tann pou tann (tann pou tann)
Tann pou tann pou tann (tann pou tann pou tann)
Se tann pou tann fò w' gen kouraj pou w' tann
Mwen di tann (Tann), tann pou tann (tann pou tann)
Tann pou tann pou tann (tann pou tann pou tann)
Se tann pou tann e fò w' gen fyèl pou w' tann
Se tann pou w' tann, fò w' gen kouraj pou w' tann
Se tann pou w' tann e fò w' gen fyèl pou w' tann
Refrain:
Se tann pou w' tann (3x)
Translation
Master DJI: Since you were little, they've been telling you that if you don't want trouble, you have to quit your job But you're little, you don't understand Because that's too much for you, you relax on a bed You wake up and go to school, at noon you're in the Capitol You see life is beautiful, every day there's a rainbow When the exam comes in the blink of an eye your eyes swell When you get to the exam you see you're doing wonders When you hear the final results, you're about to make a scandal Kill you and tear you apart, it's not your fault Thunder burns you, you know you tried And yet, then you feel discouraged The more years pass, the more you ask for revenge You accuse society, you start criticizing You talk about prejudice, you see that you should have succeeded But you don't see when you were having fun There was someone else who was struggling Look now he's succeeding And you're the one who's suffering That's how it is in life You have to wait and wait, you have to have the courage to Wait Wait and wait and you have to have the gall to wait Refrain: Wait and wait (3x) Master DJI: It's the story of a young lady who let it be known that she was beautiful But who never had the money to buy a beautiful dress When she went down to Port-au-Prince, she saw a beautiful girl Very cool behind the wheel of a beautiful car Golden portraits behind the window She didn't know what kind of money she would give to be unemployed But she didn't look for any way out A man was passing by in a BMW Checking out the woman, without wasting time making her breathe the smell of money Before the sun had set The poor woman saw that all her affairs were settled Last year, she got married Even though they were pointing fingers at her, she was enjoying her life And one fine day she fell in love But the man made her understand that he wasn't the kind of person she was waiting for The woman was crying, she was about to die She had money and yet she was suffering She had already seen him in paradise She didn't sleep dreaming one day so that things would change But you have to wait, you have to have the courage to wait You have to wait, but you have to have the gall to wait Chorus: You have to wait, you have to wait (3x) Master DJI: Papash, tell me what we say Papash: We are the new generation of Haiti We have to come together to rebuild We know what happened We don't want to start over We have a lot of work to do To get there we have to not look back And even if we have to take our time, things Those who come after will benefit Let's continue what we started Because we are the strength of a nation And we will back down if we are divided We have to wait before we have satisfaction Master DJI (Papash): I say wait (Wait), wait to wait (wait to wait) Wait to wait to wait (wait to wait) You have to wait to wait You have to have the courage to wait I say wait (Wait), wait to wait (wait to wait) Wait to wait to wait (wait to wait) Wait to wait to wait (wait to wait) You have to wait and you have to have the courage to wait. You have to wait, you have to have the courage to wait. You have to wait and you have to have the courage to wait. Refrain: You have to wait and you have to wait (3x)
