lyrics

Fon ale

Gen on kote mbeswen mennen ou
Kote la mizè pa ka jwen moun poul kraze
kote limiè- a briye pi klè
Se ave ou mwen vlé pataje-l

Gen on kote mbeswen tounen
Kote la mizè pa ka jwen moun poul kraze
kote limiè-a briye pi klè
Se jodi a pou nou sonje

Verse 1
Msonje te gen dejou mpat jam satisfè
Sonje tout pwoblem mwen tounen gwo malè
Poutan mpa jam nan beswen non
MPa-t jam konen la soif ni la fen
Fom te tounen lakay poum wè
La mizè lan jye frem pa jam bay menti non
Kounie a mwen ka di mwen wè
M'ka apresye sa bon dye fè pou mwen

Chorus
Gen on kote m’beswen mennen ou FON ALE
Kote la mizè pa ka wè moun poul kraze FON ALE
kote limiè a briye pi klè FON ALE
Se ave ou mwen vle patajel FON ALE

Gen on kote mbeswen tounen FON ALE
Kote la mizè pa ka jwen moun poul kraze FON ALE
kote limiè a briye pi klè FON ALE
Se jodi a pou nou sonje FON ALE

Verse 2
Mleve nan yon peyi ki pat ka bam mwen
Sajes zanset mwen yo pawol samba yo
Mta-p mache sam pat kon kotem
Mte soti kibo poum chèche chimen la vim chimen la vim

Chorus
Gen on kote m’beswen mennen ou FON ALE
Kote la mizè pa ka wè moun poul krazé FON ALE
kote limiè a briye pi klè FON ALE
Se ave ou mwen vlé patajel FON ALE

Gen on kote mbeswen tounen FON ALE
Kote la mizè pa ka jwen moun poul kraze FON ALE
kote limiè a briye pi klè FON ALE
Se jodi a pou nou sonje FON ALE
