bonbon fanm
zanj mete zèl
nan yon pandri
pou ti peche
nan paradi
se pandye
kè moun pandye
ki fè li bat
pasi pala
si -w pran lang mwen
lanmou n’ bileng
kenbe m’ devan
nou kwadripèd
lanmò jape
lòm chache zo
oslè kò nou
fin kraze poud
ti chen mouri
pran sant kò nou
an drivayèz de chen kole
li revini kou wè laza
vwa lavyèj
se pa gout san
vwal lamarye
se pa lajwa
solèy bòbèch
nan bonbon fanm
atè miyò
pase kabann
pwèl dekore
koko dore
alsiyis sezi bouch be
men dan sere pa sere kras
ban m’ bwè fyèl ou
madi- w marenn
ban m’gato myèl
nan batèm mwen
pou prèv damou
fò-w bo m’ tou swit
si –w vle vwal blan
chache lòt van
tete-w boule m’
de pla men cho
iwochima
nagasaki
je m’chire tou
bèl ti cheri
elikoptè m’
chwal Medeyin
jès nou kwense
nan yon miwa
kè nou kase
miyèt miyèt
de je fèmen
pou mwen remen- w
si m’ louvri yonn
pa kreve de
devan-w sere
nan mwèl tèt mwen
cheve m’ pouse
pou tout moun wè
fant kò-w bèmid
pou tout bato’ m
viv metafò
nou mouye tranp
