Vini (Come Back to Me)

[Intro] (Smooth guitar, soft percussions, light synths) (Creole & English mix) Oh baby no no no... Nou te bèl ansanm, pa kite m konsa... (We were beautiful together, don’t leave me like this...) Oh, yeah yeah yeah [Verse 1] (Afrobeats groove enters, bouncy bassline, warm keys) I left Jacmel for the city lights, Brooklyn nights, Met you by the corner shop, love at first sight, You said “Pa jwe avè m” (Don’t play with me), but I got too hype, Now I messed up bad, tryna make it right. You gave me love, like a motherland queen, Held me down, built me up, made me dream, Now your heart cold, girl I see it in your eyes, I was blind to the pain, now I realize. [Pre-Chorus] (Kompa rhythm takes over, guitars strumming, horns slide in) Bébé, pa fè sa... (Baby, don’t do this...) Ou konn mwen renmen w (You know I love you...) Map priye pou ou tounen lakay (I’m praying you come back home...) Girl, I know I broke your trust, But this love we got, it’s bigger than us, Give me one chance, let me make amends, I’ll fight for you ‘til the bitter end. [Chorus] (Kompa meets Afrobeats bounce, infectious hook) Vini, vini, vini ba mwen (Come, come, come back to me) Pa kite m pou li, se ou kè mwen vle (Don’t leave me for him, you’re the one I want) Ou se flanm dife nan nanm mwen (You’re the fire in my soul) San ou map peri, pa kite m soufrir (Without you, I’m dying, don’t let me suffer) [Verse 2] (Afrobeats takes lead again, percussions pop, deep bassline) I know he telling you I ain't no good, Say I’m just another guy from the hood, But deep down you know what we had was real, Don’t let the pain kill what we used to feel. Girl, I was dumb, acting like a fool, Texting that girl, breaking all the rules, Now I’m on my knees, baby just say oui, Don’t let Brooklyn streets take you from me. [Bridge] (Smooth saxophone solo, Kompa groove slows down) (Creole harmonies, call & response) Mwen fenk reyalize… (I just realized...) Se ou ki solèy mwen (You are my sunshine...) Mwen fenk konprann... (I just understood...) Pa lage m nan fènwa, pa ale… (Don’t leave me in the dark, don’t go...) [Chorus] (Repeat with extra harmonies, bigger instrumental drop) Vini, vini, vini ba mwen (Come, come, come back to me) Pa kite m pou li, se ou kè mwen vle (Don’t leave me for him, you’re the one I want) Ou se flanm dife nan nanm mwen (You’re the fire in my soul) San ou map peri, pa kite m soufrir (Without you, I’m dying, don’t let me suffer) [Outro] (Slow down to a Kompa groove, sensual sax outro, echoing vocals) Ohhh bébé, nou ka refè sa… (Oh baby, we can fix this...) Se ou mwen vle, sèlman ou… (You’re the only one I want...) Pa kite Brooklyn pran ou… (Don’t let Brooklyn take you...) Vini lakay mwen… (Come back home to me...)
