Sim Te La M'ta
Sim Te La
Mta
Mta leve
koul jou
Min m'pa tap
Di yon mo
Ak okin moun
M'tap souke
dlo nan bouch mwen
Epi mtap konsantre
Sou yon sel mo
Epi avan soley la kouche,
Mwen tap jete l nan pie-l
M'tap fe yon ti priye
Nan kem
Epi, m'ta...
O, adie bon die souple
Wo
Sim te la,
M'ta...

If I was there, I would
If I was there, I would
I would get up at dawn
But I would speak a word
To no one
I would shake water in my mouth
And concentrate on one word
And right before the retirement of the sun
I would throw it at its feet
If I was there, I would
I would say a little prayer
In my heart
Then,
I would....
Oh God, good God, please...
I would....
