Hey, Manman<br />
DORVAL FRANCHISE<br />
Pati Sèl: Bay Moun Ki Gen yon Manman an<br />
Si mwen te gen manman mwen tap chita pou<br />
mwen diskite de B a Z. Malgre mwen pa gen<br />
manman, mwen sèlmn ap swiv sak ap pa se.<br />
Men yon ti kon sey mwen bay tout moun. Tout<br />
moun ki gen manman, fe manmanw plazr, pa<br />
montre li engratitid, pa kite yo madi shonen nou,<br />
nou konnen pwovèb gran moun ki di boush<br />
granmoun santi. Men pawòl lï pa santi è sa ou<br />
mande pou bèl mè ou se li ki reve manman w. Le<br />
yon ti moun pa respekte manman w. Ou gen lè pa<br />
konnen ke se li kite potew nef mwa nan vant li è li<br />
ba ou tete pou dis wi mwa jis ka ven-kat mwa.<br />
Mande ‘l wap wè.<br />
Pati De: Pou tout Manman yo<br />
Manman, ou se soús ki bay lavi<br />
Ki lè tout move panse leve kouri<br />
Nan nou mwen wè chimen paradi<br />
Andedan kè w’ lòw tadi se fotèy Jezi Kri<br />
Manman pou l’ asistans nèf mwa san se pa<br />
Yon gwosès premati<br />
Fe m sonje peri ou pase<br />
jiskaske m grandi<br />
Si nan ap sans ou m ta vin tou men yon<br />
Fi pedi san abri<br />
M’ promèt ou m’ ap leve zye m jade syèl<br />
Epi m donnen pi bèl fwi dous<br />
M ekri lanmou w nan twa sekrè m<br />
Kote m kache tout lonè m ki pa lòt ke<br />
Fom kè w<br />
