Lyrics
What you doin’, Papa?
– Sa w ap fè, Papa?
Hi
– Bonjou
No, uh-uh, say hi
– Non, uh-uh, di bonjou
Hi
– Bonjou
Don’t you know I’m no good for you?
– Ou pa konnen mwen pa bon pou ou?
I’ve learned to lose you, can’t afford to
– Mwen te aprann pèdi ou, pa kapab peye pou
Tore my shirt to stop you bleedin’
– Chire chemiz mwen pou anpeche ou san
But nothin’ ever stops you leavin’
– Men, pa gen anyen ki janm sispann ou kite
Quiet when I’m comin’ home and I’m on my own
– Silans lè m’ ap vini lakay mwen e mwen sou pwòp mwen
You never got to meet Papa (I could lie, say I like it like that)
– Ou pa janm te rankontre Papa (mwen te kapab bay manti, di mwen renmen li tankou sa)
He sweet proper, he keep Mama on my toes (like it like that)
– Li dous apwopriye, li kenbe Manman sou zòtèy mwen (tankou li tankou sa)
I needed help, you booked a flight (I could lie, and say I like it like that)
– Mwen te bezwen èd, ou te rezerve yon vòl (mwen te ka bay manti, epi di mwen renmen li konsa)
In three days, you’d meet Papa (like it like that, mm)
– Nan twa jou, Ou ta rankontre Papa (tankou Li tankou sa, mm)
The waiting, the gazing
– Ap tann, gade
The painting, the raging
– Penti a, anraje a
The ravin’, the pacing
– Ravin a, pacing la
The praying, the shaking
– Lapriyè a, tranble a
I must admit, I was breaking
– Mwen dwe admèt, mwen te kraze
I must admit, I was taking
– Mwen dwe admèt, mwen te pran
I must admit, my heart was racing
– Mwen dwe admèt, kè m te bat vit
Telephone ring
– Telefòn sonnen
He didn’t make it
– Li pa t fè l
I just believed you wakin’
– Mwen jis te kwè ou reveye
A memory in the makin’
– Yon memwa nan fè’
Call me
– Rele m
Won’t you call me? (Call)
– Ou pa pral rele m’? (Rele)
No, you gone
– Non, ou ale
Are you gone already? (Don’t you know too much already?)
– Èske w ale deja? (Ou pa konnen twòp deja?)
I’ll only hurt you if you let me
– Mwen pral sèlman fè ou mal si ou kite m’
Call me friend, but keep me closer (call me back)
– Rele m zanmi, men kenbe m pi pre (rele m tounen)
And I’ll call you when the party’s over
– E m ap rele w lè fèt la fini
Quiet when I’m coming home and I’m on my own
– Silans lè m ‘ ap tounen lakay mwen e mwen sou pwòp mwen
So deal, Nika
– Se konsa, kontra, Nika
Yes real, Nika (I could lie, say I like it like that)
– Wi reyèl, Nika (mwen te kapab bay manti, di mwen renmen li tankou sa)
Don’t stress, Onika
– Pa estrès, Onika
So blessed, Onika (like it like that)
– Se konsa beni, Onika (tankou li tankou sa)
Today, it’s 12-3-23 (I could lie, say I like it like that)
– Jodi a, li se 12-3-23 (mwen te kapab bay manti, di mwen renmen li tankou sa)
Your baby’s three
– Ti bebe w la gen twa
He’s the best, Onika (like it like that)
– Li se Pi bon An, Onika (tankou li tankou sa)
Set me, set me, set me free
– Mete m, mete m, libere m
Why didn’t you come back to get me?
– Poukisa ou pa tounen vin jwenn mwen?
Let me, let me, let me be (let me be)
– Kite m, kite m, kite m (kite m)
Why would anyone want to love me?
– Poukisa yon moun ta vle renmen m?
Rich, yes, but are you happy? (Rich, yes, but are you happy?)
– Rich, wi, men ou kontan? (Rich, wi, men ou kontan?)
All this guilt you carry is heavy (all of this guilt is heavy)
– Tout koupab sa a ou pote se lou (tout koupab sa a se lou)
You’ve already made your peace with me
– Ou deja fè lapè avè m
One day you’ll have to forgive Mommy
– Yon jou Ou pral gen padonnen Manman
But she knows you know too much already
– Men li konnen ou konnen twòp deja
I’ll only hurt you if you let me
– Mwen pral sèlman fè ou mal si ou kite m’
Call me friend, but keep me closer (call me back)
– Rele m zanmi, men kenbe m pi pre (rele m tounen)
And I’ll call you when the party’s over
– E m ap rele w lè fèt la fini
Quiet when I’m coming home and I’m on my own
– Silans lè m ‘ ap tounen lakay mwen e mwen sou pwòp mwen
And I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that
– E mwen te kapab bay manti, di mwen renmen li tankou sa, tankou li tankou sa
I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that
– Mwen te kapab bay manti, di mwen renmen li tankou sa, tankou li tankou sa
Nothin’ is better sometimes
– Pa gen anyen ki pi bon pafwa
Once we’ve both said our goodbyes
– Yon fwa nou tou de te di orevwa nou
Let’s just let it go
– An nou jis kite l ale
Let me let you go
– Kite m kite ou ale
Quiet when I’m comin’ home and I’m on my own
– Silans lè m’ ap vini lakay mwen e mwen sou pwòp mwen
I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that
– Mwen te kapab bay manti, di mwen renmen li tankou sa, tankou li tankou sa
I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that
– Mwen te kapab bay manti, di mwen renmen li tankou sa, tankou li tankou sa
