Cette chanson est une réflexion sur notre société qui court en permanence mais ne va nulle part. J’ai choisi de chanter le refrain en créole en hommage à la Guadeloupe où j’ai passé bien des étés étant enfant.

lyrics

Malè pa janmé kouché
Sé on tanbou a dé bonda
On ka poté-w
Ou ka trenné-mwen

The world’s in a hurry to get somewhere
They don’t know where they’re going and they don’t care
Nobody wants to listen to the rain
Nobody wants to make time, quit the race

Wait a little, wait
For humanity’s sake
Turn around before it’s too late

Malè pa janmé kouché
Sé on tanbou a dé bonda
On ka poté-w
Ou ka trenné-mwen

You want to live your life in the fast lane
You want to be covered in golden glow
You don’t see the victims in your wake
You don’t know that dollars won’t make you grow

Wait a little, wait
For humanity’s sake
Turn around before it’s too late

Malè pa janmé kouché
Sé on tanbou a dé bonda
On ka poté-w
Ou ka trenné-mwen

Open your eyes and free your mind
It’s not about the distance it’s not wise
Throw away the disguise
If you care about the people do it now
Do it now, do it now

Malè pa janmé kouché
Sé on tanbou a dé bonda
On ka poté-w
Ou ka trenné-mwen
