[INTRO]

[VERSE 1]
Anba lalin-la, bò koté dlo-a ka dòmi,
(Under the moon, beside where the water is sleeping,)
Mwen ka tann van-la ka di non to ba mwen.
(I hear the wind saying your name to me.)
Tout pyé sypre, tout flè sovaj ka sav,
(Every cypress tree, every wild flower knows,)
Kè mwen té fèt pou rété épi to.
(My heart was made to stay with you.)

Bayou-a sé tan mwen, sé plas mwen,
(The bayou is my time, it is my place,)
Mé to sé pli bèl bagay i janmen pòté.
(But you are the most beautiful thing it has ever carried.)
Lè dlo-a ka briyé anba solèy,
(When the water is shining beneath the sun,)
Mwen wè limyè to dan tout koté.
(I see your light in every place.)

[CHORUS]
Ô chérie, vini bò koté mwen,
(Oh darling, come beside me,)
Pran lanmen mwen, pa pè anyen.
(Take my hand, do not fear anything.)
Kon larivyè-la ka swiv chimen li,
(Like the river follows its path,)
Mwen ké swiv to tout lavi.
(I will follow you all life.)

Ô bel fanm mwen, tann kè mwen chanté,
(Oh my beautiful woman, hear my heart sing,)
Lanmou mwen pou to pa janmen fini.
(My love for you never ends.)
Menm si tanpèt vini anlè dlo-a,
(Even if storms come above the water,)
Mwen ké rété la, toujou épi to.
(I will remain there, always with you.)

[VERSE 2]
Gran pyé bwa-la ka gadé nou,
(The great tree watches us,)
Lalin-la ka kouvri nou dousman.
(The moon covers us softly.)
Mwen ka sonjé tout pawòl mwen di:
(I remember all the words I said:)
“To sé lakay mwen, pou tout tan.”
(“You are my home, for all time.”)

Pasé lapli, pasé van, pasé tan,
(Beyond rain, beyond wind, beyond time,)
Rasin nou ké toujou jwenn dlo.
(Our roots will always find water.)
Pasé tout nwit ki vini nwa,
(Beyond every night that comes dark,)
Mwen ké toujou chaché limyè to.
(I will always search for your light.)

[FINAL CHORUS]
Ô chérie, vini bò koté mwen,
(Oh darling, come beside me,)
Bayou-a ka chanté non to.
(The bayou sings your name)
Tout dlo ki ka koulé anba syèl-la
(All water that flows beneath the sky)
Ka di mwen menm bagay:
(Tells me the same thing:)

Lanmou vré pa janmen pèd,
(True love is never lost,)
I rété kon pyé bwa ansyen.
(It remains like an ancient tree.)
Jistan dènye zetwal tonbé,
(Until the final star falls,)
Mwen ké aimé to… ankò é ankò.
(I will love you… again and again.)
