1. ENVOKASION
Aster ki mo pe galoup dernie tour
Mo kwar, si posib, li pou neseser
Antoutliberte ki mo kapav dir
Seki mo santi, seki mo panse
Kan enn papiyon poz lor enn fey ver,
Kan enn etensel briye dan fernwar,
Kan enn bor larzan dekor niaz maron,
Kan enn petal rouz apel banane;
Kan sourir zanfan pe egey fami,
Kan zenes-anfler pe tras zot sime,
Kan lamour partou pe ranplas laenn.
O Saraswati, gid ledwa feb-feb
Lor klavie laptop pou anrezistre
Emosion larme telman mo kontan,
Telman mo gagn per pa reysi fini.
Mersi Bondie!
Mersi tou dimoun ki finn trap mo lame
Pou ed mwa sot sime, travers larivier.
Ar mo poem mo pe dir rekonesans.

2. KRWASANS
Bann dan gouvernman, bann lopozision
Pe dimann krwasans, pe propoz krwasans
Parski elekter bien kontan krwasans.
Tou dimoun reve roul dan limouzinn;
Fer letour lemonn; depans enn fortinn
Dan bann shoping-marl; aste marsandiz
Pa parski bizen me parski gagn bon
Dan akizision ek konsomasion,
Dan posesion ek dan fer letalaz.
Obsesion kantite touf kalite!
Samem lakle devlopman?
Pa fasil!
Letansa partou, tou anbalao:
Propagann finn vinn lasours konesans;
Siperkonpagni aval liberte;
Pitay ki kontrol lavi politik;
Petrol ek sarbon pli for ki Bondie;
Relasion imen finn vinn marsandiz
E kiltir aste-vande mont lor tronn
Pou fouy trou partou, anter nou vivan.
Tou dimoun anbras relizion krwasans;
Touy zot vwazen pou ranpli tenk zwisans.
Mamonnmiliarder pe zwir so pwisans.

3. KAN ANSESTRAL TOUF NASIONAL
Lepase amer ar so barlizour
Li kouma kazie ki blok nou andan
Me ki ena ‘si enn sime sorti
Ki ouver laport ver nouvo dime.
Nou lang nasional pa ti ne isi
Lor later Moris me abor bato
Miltinasional Mediterane
Ki pas par Lafrik, al dan Maskaregn.
Kouma pikan raket ki ena fler,
Krim kont limanite finn donn nesans
So prop kontrer:
Enn nouvo kiltir ki zordi pe fann
So bote parfen dan karo zepis
Kouler larkansiel.
Falepa ki nou bliye lepase
Me napa les yer ar so gou amer
Bar-bar nou gete e anpes nou trouv
Nouvo lalimier ki aroz lamer.
Imigran Lerop, Lafrik ek Lazi
Ansam pe ranz enn zoli ti pei.

Kan aprann tom anpann parski pa konn bazik

Avoy bann profeser fer piknik lor laplaz,
Les zelev pa konn lir amize ar tablet.
Tou nou bann gran servo, disip teknolozik,

Pou priye Dizital ek So Rezo Sosial.
Mesaz piblisiter fer zoke lor seval
Nimerik e ranplas konesans bann zeni
Ki ti aprann servi experyans ek lozik.
Mem dan Lakaz Bondie sinema fer ravaz;
Olie zot rant andan, zot grenp lesafodaz.

5. ROD SO VRE DAWAY
Kan pos finn ranplas neronn dan servo;

Pe fer malis ar piten gro palto;
Kan filozofi dan poban vineg
Pe ramas mwazi; poezi finn vinn
Enn girlann flatri pou lespri latrinn;
Reflexion lozik vinn extra aveg;
Kan seki trap plim finn vinn portparol
Voler-koripter, violer-triyanger,

Finn ariv ler pou ki nou devier bol.
Kan zanfan pe fen, zenes san travay,
Vieyes andetres, rod so vre daway.

1
Kat tifi dan Gid lor enn ti santie
Enn akote lot zot ti pe marse.
Vizavi zot enn vie tonton dan laz
Ti pe trenn lipie pou retourn lakaz.
Kat tifi dan Gid fons drwat lor tonton
Ki ti oblize evit kolizion;
Mont lor enn oter; les mamzel pase
Pou ki li kapav kontinie sime.
Lontan, mo tann dir, bann tifi dan Gid
Ti pou avanse, les tonton pase
But the times they are a-changin.
2
Enn group kolezien koste kot lekol
Trouv enn vie bonnfam gro tant lor zepol
Pe trenn so lipe, dimann sarite
Pou so tizanfan kapav gagn manze.

Mazinn so zanfan; kontinie sime.
Lontan, mo tann dir, zanfan al lekol

But the times they are a-changin.

Enn fwa enn garson lor enn miray ros
Gonfle ar lapli ti pe deklar bos.
Enn tonton pase, dir ti kouyon la
Sorti lor miray, tansion gagn traka.
Garson sap lor kal; ensilte tonton;
Al parl so papa ki dir so garson:
Tonton anrezon! Al dir li mersi!
San ki to kone, li’nn sov to lavi.
Lontan ti koumsa; aster lot manier.
Papa al tir sab, detrip profeser.
For the times they are a-changin.

7. KILTIR DISAN, DISAN KILTIR
1
Fetis feminen pa gagn drwa grandi;
So plas dan latrinn ou anba later.
Fetis maskilen, ala li zoli;
Li donn so fami grander ek loner.
Kiltir disan amenn lamor;
Disan kiltir amenn lamour.
2
Laba dan tribi e kot monarsi
Garson premie lo, tifi enn lake.
Dan lanpir pitay peyna lot lespri;
Malgre laparans Kounouk ki premie.
Kiltir disan amenn lamor;
Disan kiltir amenn lamour.
3
San egalite ant tifi-garson
Zame pa pou’ena bonte-dinite
Ki endispansab pou evolision
Ver armoni dan kreasion Bondie.
Kiltir disan amenn lamor;
Disan kiltir amenn lamour.

Pe refiz konpran garrbarr dan vilaz
Ki ranpli prizon, fer disan koule,

Anou konstrir enn lemonn san prizon!
3
Mem nou pa parfe, si dan nou vilaz

Dimoun ti pou viv enn lot kalite.
Pa ti pou ena ti lagren sovaz
Ki viv dan lonbraz enn ta malpropte.
Taslima Nasrin, to ena rezon!
Anou konstrir enn lemonn san prizon!

Prezidan baitka dan vilaz Toutouk
Anvi vinn kouma Lerwa Louis Katorz
Me malsans pou li, so katorz ventwit.
Prezidan Toutouk dan pei mamlouk
Kwar ki koup likou krak kouper lagorz;
Lespri mwayennaz ankor bien-bien fit.
Initil dir li:
Fwet, travo-forse pa enn solision;
Vre sime li reabilitasion.
Ar bonte, fermte, zenerozite,
Solidarite tras nouvo sime.
2
Kapitenn Toutouk ek so Iznogoud

Pou kasiet so moud, rod slogan fasil.
Donn li ki li’le enn formil gagnan.
Initil dir zot:

Vre sime li reabilitasion.
Ar bonte, fermte, zenerozite,
Solidarite tras nouvo sime.
3
Anperer Toutouk kontan gou disan

Ek loder larzan e plis li gagne
Plis so lapeti rod enn remontan;
Tizanfan bouse gagn so vre nisa
Dan koupe-transe; dan taye-raze.
Initil dir li:
Fwet, travo-forse pa enn solision;
Vre sime li reabilitasion.
Ar bonte, fermte, zenerozite,
Solidarite tras nouvo sime.
4
Ena enn pei, pa nou ansestral,
Ki finn reysi bes kriminalite
Pa par sot likou, laparey tortir
Me par enn program lazistis sosial
Ki ed deteni sanz mantalite,
Anpes zot retom dan ansien kiltir.
Zot finn bien konpran:
Fwet, travo-forse pa enn solision;
Vre sime li reabilitasion.
Ar bonte, fermte, zenerozite,
Solidarite tras nouvo sime.

Depi bien lontan santiman finn mor

Ousa rod dimiel lao lor montagn.
2
Depi bien lontan li’nn perdi reper

Ousa rod dimiel lao lor montagn.
3
Depi bien lontan lekol finn vinn bet;

Me Vadire pa aret zwe so rol.
Zes touy konesans ranplas alfabet.
Dan mo vilaz borlamer kot montagn
Nou pa bien kone kot nou pe ale:
Kiltiv nou later; al poz nou kazie;
Ousa rod dimiel lao lor montagn.
4
Depi bien lontan nou tou nou santi
Mofinn pe vini akoz nou gabzi
Me nou fer sanblan peyna zavari.
Zes touy konesans fer nou abriti.
Dan mo vilaz borlamer kot montagn
Nou pa bien kone kot nou pe ale:
Kiltiv nou later; al poz nou kazie;
Ousa rod dimiel lao lor montagn.

Mo telman gourman, zame mo ase;
Mo nek pran, pran, pran; zame arete.

2
Mo telman gourman, zame mo vant plen;
Mo trik mo ser-frer, kouzinn ek kouzen,

3
Mo telman gourman, zame mo dir non;
Mo priye Mamon; servi koripsion,

Pou gagn eleksion. Mo’apel Jabaljas

4
Mo telman gourman, mo’aval gourmandiz;

Tou koumans kraze. Mo sey tour paspas,
Nanye pa marse. Kot twa Jabaljas?

12. KANTITE TOUY KALITE
1
Tro boukou lagren lor enn ti platbann;
Tro boukou plantil dan enn ti fose;
Tro boukou pie fri dan enn ti verze
Rannman kas lagel, devlopman anpann.
Nisa kantite pe touy kalite
E pe anpes lekilib devlope
Ant zwisans fizik ek lazwa sakre.
2
Tro boukou zanfan lor enn ti lili;
Tro boukou zelev dan enn ti lasal;
Tro boukou aprann fer latet fermal,
Blok lelan zanfan, anpes zot grandi.
Nisa kantite pe touy kalite

Ant zwisans fizik ek lazwa sakre.
3
Tro boukou lespri ki rod mem zafer;
Tro boukou anvi pou mem marsandiz;
Tro boukou gourman nouri fitir kriz,
Akous diktatir, soufrans ek maler.

E pe anpes lekilib devlope
Ant zwisans fizik ek lazwa sakre.

13. KIRYOZITE MALSEN
Kan mo gourrou dir mo bizen kirye;
Mo bizen ouver lafnet mo lespri;
Les kouran ler fre soufle dan tou kwen;
Pous loder toufe; irig mo servo;
Kan mo gourrou dir mo bizen kirye
Sinon mo pou vinn enn pov abriti
Parski dan routinn, labitid malsen
Peyna kreasion ekleraz nouvo
Mwa, pov bachara, ki mo finn konpran?
Mo bizen vey zafer pa regard mwa;
Konn tou detay lor lavi mo vwazen;
Fer palab, fann rimer ar jos malsen;
Angourdi lespri, koz manti lor twa
E detrir tou seki mo pa kontan.
14.04.2014
14. PARSKI LI ENN ZOM
Dan renion sendika travayer transpor
Li menas fer lagrev
Parski patron la pe fer dominer
Me dan so bis li maltret
Vie bonom, vie bonnfam;
Arsel madam ek mamzel
Parski so pouvwar mont dan so latet.
Ler li rant lakaz, so madam marye pas kord.
Me se so drwa sa!
Parski li enn zom.
Ar so bann kamarad polisie
Li plengne parski li pa finn gagn seki li anvi
Mem li pa merite.
Me dan travay, iniform lor ledo
Get kouma li maltret seki pli feb ki li;
Get kouma li abiz madam ek tifi.
Ler li rant lakaz, so madam marye pas kord.
Me se so drwa sa!
Parski li enn zom.
Pou gagn promosion li’nn desann kalson.
Aster dan biro, sibaltern regret zot nesans;
Enn zennfi finn swiside.
Ler li rant lakaz, so madam marye pas kord.
Me se so drwa sa!
Parski li enn zom.
Li kriye for-for kont tou enzistis
Me ar so pouvwar li fer ankor plis;
Kan pe kraz so kor li denons lemal
Me kan li ki for lezot gagn dimal;
Pou li tousa normal
Parski li enn zom.

15. ZE KONN, ZE DEBROUY
Toultan mo ti kwar mo enn gran oustad
Poliglot natirel, otomatik
Dan pei extra kot san fer zefor
Nom, verb, azektif desann dan dalo
Mo lalang fleri – mo pa’nn dir fletri –
Roul kouma kanet, pa per alfabet.
Toultan mo ti kwar mo enn gran oustad
Ki san vinegret prepar so salad.
Aster mo’nn konpran mo pa poliglot,
Ni trileng, ni bileng, ni literet
Me enn semileng, semiliteret
Ki pe nwaye dan pa konn alfabet.
Larouy dan lespri finn reysi anbrouy
Tou bann konpetans. Ze debrouy-debrouy.
15.04.2014
16. MO PA EDIKE, MWA?
Mo pa bet, mo konn trwa let alfabet;
Pa kwar mo kouyon, mo konn tab par ker;
? Mo bliye parol me mo konn so ler.
Mo dir mo zezer, “Maseri ze tem”;
Kan mo zwenn touris, mo dir “Goudmorning”.
Aster to dir mwa mo pa edike?
De fwa mo’nn vote! Prosenn eleksion
Mo poz kandida. Bengker mo eli
Parski mo jati pou apiy mwa plans.
Mo gagn difisil swazir minister.
Mo les sa dan lame Premie Minis.
Aster to dir mwa mo pa kalifie?
Zame to finn tann enn proverb sakre:
“Lafortinn souri zis ozodasie?”
