Kreyol lyrics:
Ogou O, wa de zanj
Le m sonje pitit an mwen chwal an mwe
Chwal an mwe parenn Ogou chwal an mwe
Le m sonje pitit an mwen chwal an mwe
Ogou O, djab-la di lap manje mwen si sre vre?
Pa fout vre
Ogou O, djab-la di lap manje mwen si sre vre?
Men gen Bondje O gen lesen-yo
Djab-la di lap manje mwen se pa vre
Se pa vre ti moun-yo se pa vre
Sa se jwet ti moun-yo sa se blag
English translation:
Ogou O, King of the Angels
I miss my child, my horse
My horse, godfather Ogou, my horse
I miss my child, my horse
Ogou O, the djab says he'll eat me, is this true?
It's not true
Ogou O, the djab says he'll eat me, is this true?
But we have God, Oh we have the Saints
The djab says he'll eat me, it's not true
It's not true, children, it's not true
That's a game, children, that's a joke
