Lyrics
No more champagne
– Pa gen chanpay ankò
And the fireworks are through
– E feyè yo fini
Here we are, me and you
– Isit la nou ye, mwen menm ak ou
Feeling lost and feeling blue
– Santi pèdi ak santi ble
It’s the end of the party
– Se fen pati a
And the morning seems so grey
– E maten an sanble konsa gri
So unlike yesterday
– Se konsa kontrèman ak yè
Now’s the time for us to say
– Kounye a se moman pou nou di
Happy New Year, Happy New Year
– Bòn Ane Nouvo, Bòn Ane Nouvo
May we all have a vision now and then
– Se pou nou tout gen yon vizyon kounye a epi lè sa a
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
– Nan yon mond kote chak vwazen se yon zanmi
Happy New Year, Happy New Year
– Bòn Ane Nouvo, Bòn Ane Nouvo
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
– Se pou nou tout gen espwa nou, volonte nou pou eseye
If we don’t, we might as well lay down and die
– Si nou pa fè sa, nou ta ka tou byen kouche epi mouri
You and I
– Ou menm ak mwen
Sometimes I see
– Pafwa mwen wè
How the brave new world arrives
– Ki jan bèl mond nouvo a rive
And I see how it thrives
– E mwen wè kijan li pwospere
In the ashes of our lives
– Nan sann lavi nou
Oh yes, man is a fool
– Oh wi, nonm se yon moun fou
And he thinks he’ll be okay
– Epi li panse li pral byen
Dragging on, feet of clay
– Trennen sou, pye nan ajil
Never knowing he’s astray
– Pa janm konnen li se pèdi wout
Keeps on going anyway
– Kontinye kontinye de tout fason
Happy New Year, Happy New Year
– Bòn Ane Nouvo, Bòn Ane Nouvo
May we all have a vision now and then
– Se pou nou tout gen yon vizyon kounye a epi lè sa a
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
– Nan yon mond kote chak vwazen se yon zanmi
Happy New Year, Happy New Year
– Bòn Ane Nouvo, Bòn Ane Nouvo
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
– Se pou nou tout gen espwa nou, volonte nou pou eseye
If we don’t, we might as well lay down and die
– Si nou pa fè sa, nou ta ka tou byen kouche epi mouri
You and I
– Ou menm ak mwen
Seems to me now
– Li sanble m kounye a
That the dreams we had before
– Ke rèv nou te genyen anvan
Are all dead, nothing more
– Yo tout mouri, pa gen anyen plis
Than confetti on the floor
– Pase konfeti sou etaj la
It’s the end of a decade
– Se fen yon dekad
In another ten years time
– Nan yon lòt dis ane tan
Who can say what we’ll find
– Ki moun ki ka di sa nou pral jwenn
What lies waiting down the line
– Ki sa ki ap tann nan liy lan
In the end of eighty-nine
– Nan fen katreven-nèf
Happy New Year, Happy New Year
– Bòn Ane Nouvo, Bòn Ane Nouvo
May we all have a vision now and then
– Se pou nou tout gen yon vizyon kounye a epi lè sa a
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
– Nan yon mond kote chak vwazen se yon zanmi
Happy New Year, Happy New Year
– Bòn Ane Nouvo, Bòn Ane Nouvo
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
– Se pou nou tout gen espwa nou, volonte nou pou eseye
If we don’t, we might as well lay down and die
– Si nou pa fè sa, nou ta ka tou byen kouche epi mouri
You and I
– Ou menm ak mwen
