KAISE BELONA 2
Kan berze nepli protez annyo,
e sadou pe fer krim dan berso;
kan lekol napa donn lekleraz
me plonz zanfan dan pit kafouyaz;
kan legliz napa konn gid nou pa
kaise belona do koko, kaise belona?
Kan lerwa Salomon divage
e Rachel so plore res mouye;
kan Noe so rado pran dilo
e Zozef pe desir so palto;
kan Aya finn fini vinn pagla
kaise belona do koko, kaise belona?
Kan progre met kostim roupi-sou,
devlopman dan lesiel pe pers trou;
kan sikse kas pake nikleer
e viktwar pe beni nou maler;
kan pouvwar dan lame bachara
kaise belona do koko, kaise belona?
Kan servi Zezikri pou modi,
souy malang ar sari Dropadi;
kan alim sanbrani ipokrit,
kan partaz parrsadi pou fer kit,
kan sakre finn nwaye dan paysa
kaise belona do koko, kaise belona?
WI ENN GRAN PEI …
Kot imitasion pas pou kreasion,
fer vadire pran plas obzervasion;
kot touk-touk parsi e kol-kol parla
fer sanblan partou ki samem lafwa
laba mem, baba, mo lonbri ete.
Wi enn gran pei me bien tilespri.
Kot lamare ot manz pie tamaren
e bef, vas, kabri patoz dan basen,
pa zeometrik pe fer lasansion
lor fron Piterbot san transpirasion
laba mem, baba, mo lespwar ti’ete.
Wi enn gran pei me bien tilespri.
Kot mil verb rasi kas ledan lespri,
routinn karyate andormi Shakti,
lalinn san lamson desann so kalson
pou vers so pwazon dan Trou Fanfaron
laba mem, baba, ‘enn fwa dan’enn pei’.
Wi enn gran pei me bien tilespri.
Enn fwa dan’enn pei ti’ena Ti Rajou,
Ti’ena Bay Abou ek Tonton Toulsi;
enn fwa dan’enn pei, boukie banane
ti larg petal lor pou anons dime.
Laba mem enn fwa mo ti kwar kikfwa.
Wi enn gran pei me bien tilespri.
ODEK 2
Odek,

Gro zero manz ti zero, dife dan langka mo frero.
Bliye to tanbour tanbourye!

Lapli finn mouy lapo bouk.
Odek,
Nou bann zanfan pa rapel yer, zot viv dan zordi permanan

Ayo ki erer nou finn fer? Nou finn fer lavi vinn lanfer.
Gro zero manz ti zero, tou finn vinn golmal mo dalon.
Bliye to tanbour tanbourye!
Ramas to ravann ravanie!
Lapli finn mouy lapo bouk.

“Dan mo pei desire par laenn

dan Soweto, lor frontier Angola laba
bann poem tou kouler pe plor lamor bann anz.
Si enn zour Zezi desid pou retourn isi

Al farmasi ena pikir pou fer zot dile sek.
