what does fe'm kado'w mean?

Is this from Carimi?
In this song, it seem to mean "Give yourself to me"

    Give me

2. Fè'm kado yon ti dlo.
    Give me some water.

3. Nou te fè yo kado yon $20.00.
    We gave them $20.00

4. Mwen te fè legliz la kado yon machin.
     I gave the church a car.    
     I gave a car to the church.

5. Li te fè'm kado yon bekàn pou fèt mwen.
     He gave me a bike for my birthday.

6.  Misye te fè menaj li kado yon bag pou twazyèm anivèsè yo.
     He gave his girlfriend a ring for their their anniversary.

  1. This site is so helpful!!!! I am Haitian-American and unfortunately my parents only spoke English with my siblings and I. I want to go to Haiti and learn as much Creole as possible before going. Thank you!
