about

This song is a conversation with my mum about those classic questions "Where we go? Where we from?". It's been a real deal in my life and today I feel safe to say I know where I am rooted.

lyrics

“Remember the trees, all the sweet memories”
Ousa la vi sa met anou
Di mon frèr
Mwin la bézwin konet sa oté
Dopi tou marmay nou i té roul
si la Terre
Monmon i té guide anou oté

All I need is what I got here with my tribe
All my sisters brothers and a wave to ride
Why in my head something isn’t right?
Mama tell me what is this life?

Tell me how the world is wide?
Wide as can be my soul?
Will you always be here by my side?
Wind is taking us so far

Di a mwin monmon di a mwin ousa nou sa va
Di a mwin monmon di a mwin ousa nou sa va
Di a mwin monmon di a mwin ousa nou sa va
Di a mwin monmon di a mwin ousa ?

Don’t want to be, don’t want to be alone
If I got to be, got to be abroad
You and only you can take us from the storm
So we can find a place where we can peace the soul

My head is so upside down
With all these tragedies
Let’s slighter in those trees
I need to be appeased

Tell me how the world is wide ?
Wide as can be my soul ?
Will you always be here by my side ?
Wind is taking us so far

Di a mwin monmon di a mwin ousa nou sa va
Di a mwin monmon di a mwin ousa nou sa va
Di a mwin monmon di a mwin ousa nou sa va
Di a mwin monmon di a mwin ousa ?

Wayo monmon
Ousa vi sa va aster ?
Akoz mon zié i plèr ? Rakont a mwin monmon
Lespas ma bézwin lé la, dan mon kor lé la, dan mon min
Tout ma bézoin lé la,
Koulèr lo san la pa koulèr lo sin

(Refrain)
