What does the word "siwo" mean culturally, and how does it translate in Jocelyne Berdard's song "Siwo"?

siwo (culturally) - sweet, luscious, affectionate, honey, sweetie
siwo is the Haitian Creole word for honey, syrup
myèl - honey
siwo myèl - honey

Many people say that love is as sweet as honey (if not sweeter).

Jocelyn Béroard's song  "siwo" interprets it as such.
She may be looking for a man that is sweeter than honey,
But she won't find it
'cause, I believe, the "siwo" is within herself.
