They say you can’t bend a heart… No spell can make love start… Still… I kneel in the dark. Black sand falling through my hands tonight Moonlight trembling on a crooked shrine I drew a circle in the dust and bone Lit three flames where I stand alone I ain’t asking for kingdoms or gold Just three quiet truths my soul can hold If you’re listening through smoke and flame Genie… remember my name. Pa fòse lanmou vini… Don’t force love to come… Mé tanpri, pa lésé li pati… But please, don’t let it leave… Three wishes under violet skies Ash on my lips, stars in my eyes I know you can’t make hearts choose me… But let love stay if it finds me. Three wishes, I’m down on my knees No crown, no throne, no destiny Just grant these whispers drifting free… Then take what’s left of me. I seen angels sleeping in alleyways Broken halos, falling rain My wild ones dancing on shattered glass Laughing loud so the pain won’t last If you got power in that hidden flame Don’t give it to fortune, don’t give it to fame Give it to the souls who run with me… Make my Wild Ones happy and free. Gadé zanfan lannwit mwen… Watch over my night children… Ba yo on lavi dous, san lapenn… Give them a gentle life, without pain… Three wishes under violet skies Ash on my lips, stars in my eyes I know you can’t make hearts choose me… But let love stay if it finds me. Three wishes I’m brave enough to speak For the strong, the cursed, the weak Let the night be kind when they breathe… That’s enough for me. And the last one… I almost swallowed it whole. Not power… Not glory… Not even a hand to hold. Just… If love ever looks my way Don’t let me feel like I’m too much to stay. Don’t let my shadow be all they see… Let me be enough… As me. As me. Si lanmou gadé mwen… If love ever looks at me… Kité mwen sifi… jis mwen. Let me be enough… just me. Three wishes burning in open air Smoke in my lungs, salt in my prayer No chains of gold, no fantasy… Just one soft truth to carry me. Three wishes, then I’ll set you free Take the magic, bury me If the night remembers anything… Remember I believed. They say you can’t bend a heart… Still… I made my start. Three little wishes in the dark.
