[Start] [Intro | deep breath, low register] Mmm… Pa prese non… Kite anvi a grandi. [Verse 1 | Haitian Creole | intimate chest voice] Ou vle rive twò vit Men m renmen jan anvi a grandi Chak fwa ou pran yon poz Li desann pi fon nan mwen Pa ban m tout bagay Kite kèk sekrè rete Kenbe mouvman an dous Se konsa ou jwenn mwen [Pre-Chorus | restrained gospel phrasing] Pa kouri… Mwen pa prale Jan ou kenbe ritm nan Fè m vle w plis [Chorus | fixed bilingual pattern] Pa prese non, let it breathe Kite anvi a pran rasin Pa prese non, move with me Sa ki dous pa bezwen kouri [Post-Chorus | soft male harmonies] Mmm… pa prese… Hold that feeling… Kenbe l la… [Verse 2 | English | smooth rhythmic delivery] You don’t have to prove it I can feel your control What you leave unspoken Keeps me under the pull Hold the space between us Let anticipation climb The sweetest kind of surrender Never races to arrive [Pre-Chorus | light rasp, gradual lift] Don’t hurry… I’m not leaving The way you hold the rhythm Makes me want you more [Chorus | fixed bilingual pattern] Pa prese non, let it breathe Kite anvi a pran rasin Pa prese non, move with me Sa ki dous pa bezwen kouri [Gouyad Break | whispered ad-libs] Pa prese… Kenbe l dous… Don’t give it all away… Kite m anvi plis… [Bridge | English | controlled gospel lift] Leave a little at the edge Keep a little out of reach Every pause becomes a pressure Every movement pulls me deep [Pause] Oh… don’t rush… [Final Chorus | full male harmonies] Pa prese non, let it breathe Kite anvi a pran rasin Pa prese non, move with me Sa ki dous pa bezwen kouri [Outro | low voice] Pa prese non… Sa ki dous… Pa bezwen kouri. [End]
