what is 'tanto si ... tanto sa'?

tanto..., tanto...→ one minute ..., and the next ...

Tanto si, tanto sa.
One minute it's this, and the next it's that.

Tanto ou vle ale, tanto w vle rete. Deside non.
One minute you want to go, and the next, you want to stay.  Make up your mind.


Fanfan pa ka deside ak ki fi pou l renmen.  Tanto l ak youn, tanto l ak lòt la.
Fanfan can't decide which girl to date.  One minute he's with one, and the next he's with the other.


Ou pa ka konte sou nèg sa.  Tanto l cho, tanto l frèt.
You can't count on this guy.  One minute he's hot, and the next he's cold.
