Fèy, o! Sove lavi mwen, nan mizè mwen ye, o
Fèy, o! Sove lavi mwen, nan mizè mwen ye, o
Pitit mwen malad, mwen kouri kay gangan Similo
Pitit mwen malad, mwen kouri kay gangan
Si li bon gangan
Sove lavi mwen, nan mizè mwen ye, o
Fèy, o! Sove lavi mwen, nan mizè mwen ye, o
Fèy, o! Sove lavi mwen, nan mizè mwen ye, o
Pitit mwen malad, mwen kouri kay gangan Similo
Pitit mwen malad, mwen kouri kay gangan
Si li bon gangan
Sove lavi mwen, nan mizè mwen ye, o
Nan mizè mwen ye, o
Willie works as the garden man
He plants trees, he burns leaves
He makes money for himself
Often I stop with his words on my mind
‘Do spacemen pass dead souls on their way to the moon’
Petit mou malade moin kouri caye gang gang
Similo
Petit mou malade moin kouri caye gang gang
Si lu bon gang gang
Sauve la vie moin dans mize moin ye oh
Dans mize moin ye oh
