No more begging please gone this time for real
shatter like a mirror hit by stone
Never more to be the one to fill your needs
now someone else WILL have to do those chores
No matter how
hard i tried to keep it right
nothing last forevermore



All my ways and means couldn’t make it real
I’m burnt out can’t do any more
Hope in time to heal the wound i feel
grace me the straight to carry on
Left shatter beaten broke hearted bleeding
not the same man i was before


Well It’ll be alrigth the sun will still shine
with or without the love that’s lost
Seems no matter what you try to equalize
just keep on storming even more
To always remember now and forever
can’t replace what was before

Traduction :

Plus de solicitations, c’est fini pour de bon
Comme un mirroir frappé par une pierre
Je ne veux plus être celui qui répond à tes demandes
Peu importent
les efforts que j’ai fait pour tenir
Rien n’est éternel

Toutes mes tentatives n’y pourraient rien
Je suis au bout, je n’en peux plus
J’espère que le temps appaisera ma peine
Puisse le Ciel me donner la force d’avancer
Mon cœur brisé saigne
Je ne suis plus le même qu’avant

I laugh though dem take I for a fool

so I turn meself to di golden rule

like me dear old mama used to say

"don't worry just live you life day by day

keep on laughin' and sing likkle boy

life is a game we all must enjoy"



don't care about di passin' of time

evry second I live is divine,

like me dear old papa used to say

"dis world's an illusion come and play!"

keep on laughin' and sing likkle boy

life is a game we all must enjoy"

Berceuse « viens ici, Edimo mon fils et ne pleure pas. Je suis ton père, ne t'inquiète pas. »

Un singe dit quelque chose d'étrange : il voudrait fumer.

Yo no tengo ni una cabra no tengo buey
y me vine caminando de Camagüey
caminé todo el sendero sin descansar
y solo me queda el cuero pa' trabajar

Cuando consiga un trabajo lo juro yo
iré a comprar una joya de la mejor
pa' llevarle al amor mio a la niña que
me tenia de amorio alla en Camagüey

Que yo no tengo, nada tengo
No tengo, nada tengo
Que yo no tengo, no tengoNo no tengo, no tengo
Que yo no tengo, no tengo

Ay lala lala lalala..

J’en ai rien (P Canzani)

Je ne même pas de chèvre j’ai pas de bœuf
Et je suis venu en marchant depuis Camagüey
J’ai marché tout le sentier sans aucun repos
Il ne me reste que la peau pour travailler

Quand je trouverai un travail je te le jure
J’irais acheter un bijou le plus beau
Pour l’offrir a mon amour la fille que
Me faisais tourner la tête la bas à Camagüey

Que je n’ai rien rien de rien
Que je n’ai rien je n’ai rien
Que je n’ai rien de rien
Non je n’ai rien je n’ai rien
Que je n’ai rien de rien

Aï lala lala lalala..
