Lyrics

Hey….

Gen lontan n’ap chèche

Yon kote pou n viv

Yon kote pou nou tout ka viv anpè vre

W’a ede m chante chante sa

Monkonpè mwen!

Ah!  woulo woulo woulo

Monkonpè mwen! (4 liy, 3 fwa)

Hey….

Se chita m chita, n’ap gade

Nou wè se tout bon l’ap vin menase vre

Fò n  ede m chante chante sa

Monkonpè mwen!

Ah! woulo woulo woulo

Monkonpè mwen! (4 liy, 2 fwa)

Moun chowou -l o

Frè mwen!

Monkonpè mwen!

Hey….

Twòp pwoblèm nan peyi mwen

Fè nou pa ka jwenn

Yon kote pou nou tout ka viv anpè vre

M’oblije chante chante sa

Monkonpè mwen!

Ah! woulo woulo woulo

Monkonpè mwen! (4 liy, 2 fwa)

Moun chowou-l o

Frè mwen!

Monkonpè mwen!

Hey….

Mezanmi!

(gen or genyen are used interchangeably)

Future tense:
For the future tense, use either ap or pral.

examples

Pral gen anpil moun la.

There will be dancing.

The same form goes for Past Tense:
Use the paste tense determiner te
examples

Te gen yon mesye la.

There were many people at the party.
Te gen anpil moun nan fèt la.

There should be enough food for everyone.

And if you need to put these sentences into the negative form,
place 'pa' in front of the sentence.  'pa' is the determiner for the negative form.
examples:
Another way to say there's no, there are no..., there's nothing (in the present tense) is NANPWEN
