Oh Jackie you're no good, yes I'd go if I could I'd kill you if I could!

and him lied like a pharisee
but ah ain't got no fear

Skalipsoul is di highway robba
I back on earth wid 15000 dollas!

So one more day, another night
One more year without you
God I'm so blue, honey I miss you
So one more day, another night
One more year without you
God I'm so blue, don't know how old are you...


I mus' say if I had de money
I could show you a better day
but tings dem not so easy today
ain't no fun inna di city
from bad to worse everyday
God I polish shoes, man I beg fi money
tings dem so hard pon me!




ten years I livin' on de streets
still don't know how to make ends meet
tell me what do you learn at school
do your new daddy tink I'm a fool?
I'm dyin' to hear from you
I still polish shoes and still beg fi money
tings dem so hard pon me!

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..
