An lanmin ka lavé lôt
Kon dlo sôti dan roch

Sé vou é mwen
Konté si mwen, konté si mwen

mwen vinn sézi san pawol
souf coupé, kè mwen fann
pozé ti bwin, pozé si mwen

An ka tann yo palé
yo di ou mérité

ou pa té dwèt lévé
ou pa té dwèt lité
mé ! sé fiewté ou gannyé

pa lésé yo blésé’w, pa lésé yo blésé’w

nou sé on sél pèp désann
an ba kal a machann

vou épi mwen
sé mem bitin, sé mem bitin

Ni sa ka fè plin dézod
pou nou pa viv ansanm

mé vou é mwen
sé yonn é lot, sé yonn an lot

mé lè tout’ bitin brilé
fo nonm finn kalkilé

fo yo apprann pézé
sa i bon , sa i mové

mé tè a libewté
ja pran tan résilié

ja pran tan espéré

Haitie Chérie la vi pa fini

Haiti Chérie chanjman ka vini i i i i
Haitie Chérie la vi pa fini

Haitie Chérie kontinyé souri ii ii

si lanmou ka wouvè pot’
sé klé mwen ka ba zot

woté si mwen pou pran ti bwin

jacmel , thomassin , kenscoff lanmou ka monté mon’

pou sa ki pré, pou sa ki lwen

an sav tèt k chajé
ké kè ka fatigué

timoun sa yo pléré
chimin la ka pézé

mé kontinyé maché
mi jou la ka lévé

mi soleil ja monté

Haitie Chérie la vi pa fini

Haiti Chérie chanjman ka vini i i i i

Haitie Chérie la vi pa fini

Haitie Chérie kontinyé souri ii ii

Haitie Chérie la vi pa fini

Haiti Chérie chanjman ka vini i i i i

Haitie Chérie la vi pa fini

    Here is a translator for those who can’t read French:

    David it is in Creole and I am not sure if the translator can do it. I can understand some of it and I will try. Those who speak some French will understand some by listening and not by reading. Perhaps our friends from St. Lucia can help us.

    That woman is so naturally beautiful with those adoringly captivating sexy brown eyes!

    What I admire about her is not only her soothingly enchanting voice but the fact she is natural in her physical appearance allowing her inner beauty to shine through her lovely sun-kissed skin without the need to put on “Remi” false hair to cover-up her earthly African origins.

    She certainly does not display a persona other than her natural self with no need for a false “hair hat” in a tropical country.

    La pièce de résistant of female African pulchritude.
    Très belle et magnifique, très exquis, vraiment!

    That was the easy bit! You are more likely to get it if you listen rather than read, or say out loud phonetically but only if you speak French in the first place. My Lucian patois-speaking friend cannot speak French at all by the way says she was hopeless at it at school so what chance do the rest of us have? I’m sure there exists a translation tool from patois which would do the trick up to a point.

    You know the translation is not really necessary for such beautiful music. Stevy Mahy was born into a musical family in Guadeloupe. Both her parents are musicians and she has been singing from age nine. I am trying to get some more background info from a friend in Guadeloupe and will post.

    Folks just sit back and immerse yourself.

    Islandgal, just Google her – lots of background online. First thing I did when I saw the video

    This woman is awesome! I fell in love with her music after listening only once. She is truly the essence of beauty and sensuality. Bisous Stevy!

    Beautiful voice, unfortunately she probably wont go anywhere unless she starts smoking weed, and grabbing her crotch in her videos

    Thank you Andrew I am a bit weary of all the yardfowlism and I feel it is necessary to explore and share more worthwhile pursuits.

    We do have boorish people like the Nellies who just don’t possess a discerning ear for the finer things in life.

    Miller you have grasped the sensuality and beauty of the artist, a rare occurrence these days.

    A voice that enfolds you in a delicate embrace and takes you to another place on its wings; it is true, just beautiful.

    Well I got it translated and the words, the words. The music makes you dream but the words make you think. It’s the combination which makes it so special. That’s why Rhianna will never be Bob Marley
