Mwen Soti<br />
DJENIKA<br />
Mwen soti Peguy Vyl<br />
Mwen antre nan television<br />
Mwen soti nan mashin<br />
Pou’m al jwen manman ak frem<br />
Mwen alè sou kanape a<br />
M’ alè sou tab la lè mwen soti sou bifette la<br />
Mashin tap-tap pou’m alè lakay mwen ak<br />
nan mashè<br />
Mwen tande ti zawzo yo<br />
Lè mwen rive nan mashè mwen tande<br />
poule yo se, “kit-kit”<br />

DJENIKA<br />
I come from Peguy Ville<br />
I come from the television<br />
I come from cars<br />
I go to see my mother and my brother<br />
I sit on the couch<br />
I set the table<br />
I ride the tap-tap home, and I go to the market place<br />
I hear the birds when I get to the market place<br />
I hear the chickens crying, “kit-kit.”<br />
