Lè w wè yon moun an devenn menm lèt kaye kase tèt li.
When misfortune follows someone, even curd milk would break (smash, split) his head (skull).
This is the same saying as:
Lè w wè yon moun an devenn menm po bannann (or sometimes they say: po patat) blese l.
When misfortune follows someone even a banana peel (or potato skin) will hurt him.
As you probably can already tell, this proverb is saying that when misfortunes follows someone, even the least little thing will imperil or injure him.
