Lyrics
I stepped into an avalanche
– Mwen te antre nan yon lavann
It covered up my soul
– Li kouvri nanm mwen
When I am not this hunchback that you see
– Lè mwen pa sa a boukback ke ou wè
I sleep beneath the golden hill
– Mwen dòmi anba ti mòn an lò
You who wish to conquer pain
– Ou ki vle konkeri doulè
You must learn, learn to serve me well
– Ou dwe aprann, aprann sèvi m byen
You strike my side by accident
– Ou frape bò kote m pa aksidan
As you go down for your goal
– Kòm ou ale desann pou objektif ou
The cripple here that you clothe and feed
– Enfim la isit la ke ou abiye ak manje
Is neither starved nor cold
– Se ni grangou ni frèt
He does not ask for your company
– Li pa mande pou konpayi ou
Not at the center, the center of the world
– Pa nan sant la, sant la nan mond lan
And I am on a pedestal
– E mwen sou yon pedestal
You did not raise me there
– Ou pa t leve m la
Your laws do not compel me now
– Lwa ou yo pa fòse m kounye a
To kneel grotesque and bare
– Pou jenou groteske ak toutouni
I myself am the pedestal
– Mwen menm mwen se pedestal la
For this ugly hump at which you stare
– Pou sa a bouk la lèd nan ki ou gade
You who wish to conquer pain
– Ou ki vle konkeri doulè
You must learn what makes me kind
– Ou dwe aprann sa ki fè m bon
The crumbs of love that you offer me
– Ti kras lanmou ou ofri m
Are the crumbs I’ve left behind
– Se ti kras mwen te kite dèyè
Your pain is no credential here
– Doulè ou pa gen okenn kredibilite isit la
It’s just a shadow, shadow of my wound
– Se jis yon lonbraj, lonbraj nan blesi mwen
I have begun to long for you
– Mwen te kòmanse anvi pou ou
I who have no greed
– Mwen ki pa gen laviz
I have begun to ask for you
– Mwen te kòmanse mande pou ou
I who have no need
– Mwen ki pa bezwen
You say you’ve gone away from me
– Ou di ou te ale lwen m
But I can feel you, feel you when you breathe
– Men, mwen ka santi ou, santi ou lè ou respire
Do not dress in those rags for me
– Pa abiye nan rad sa yo pou mwen
I know you are not poor
– Mwen konnen ou pa pòv
And don’t love me, quite so fiercely now
– Epi pa renmen m, byen konsa ferociously kounye a
When you know that you are not sure
– Lè ou konnen ke ou pa sèten
It is your turn, my beloved one
– Li se vire ou, yon sèl renmen anpil mwen
It is your flesh that I wear
– Se kò ou ke mwen mete
