Kilès ki gen rezon? Who's right?

Listening exercise. Click on the play button and follow along :)

O Ti Mari ou rantre bonè jodi a.

Ti Mari you're home early today.

Men wi. Mwen fatige. M pral kouche pou yon moman.

Yes I'm tired. I'm going to lie down for a while.

Kisa w genyen?

What's wrong?

M pa gen anyen.

Nothing's wrong.

Cheri m konnen w trè byen. Sa’w genyen? Poukisa figi w fennen konsa?

Sweetie I know you very well. What's wrong? Why the sad face?

A! Se pa anyen ditou.  M pa gen anyen.  M'anfòm.

It's nothing at all. Nothing's wrong. I'm fine.

Ou di w anfòm men figi w pa sanble sa.  Pale avè m non.

You say you're fine but your face doesn't look it. Talk to me won't you?

Dakò. Te’m rakonte w sa’k pase m. Di m kilès ki gen rezon.

Ok. Let me tell you what happened to me. Tell me who's right.

M’ap koute w.

I'm listening.

Jodi a nan travay la nou te genyen yon miting.

Today at work we had a meeting.

Anhan.

Bòs mwen t’ap fè yon prezantasyon an Kreyòl enpi yon anplwaye etranje  ki te la panche bò zòrèy mwen pou mande m tradui sa bòs la t’ap di a. Sa’w kwè m fè?

My boss was making a presentation in Creole and a foreign employee that was there leaned in my ear to ask me to translate what the boss was saying. What do you think I did?

Ou te ede anplwaye a?

You helped the employee?

Men wi . Mwen tradui sa bòs mwen an t’ap di a.  Sa w kwè k rive?

Yes. I translated what my boss was saying. What do you think happened?

Bòs la mande w fè silans,

He told you to be quiet?

O o men wi! – Se kòmsi w te la.  Bòs la fè m yon sèl malonèt devan tout moun – li di m pe bouch mwen.  Mwen vin santi m tankou yon timoun yo rale zorèy li.

Yes! it's as if you were there. He insulted me in front of everyone. He told me to shut up. I felt like a reprimanded child.

Bòs ou an  gen rezon wi cheri. Ou pa ka pale pandan l’ap pale tou – si tout moun ap pale, pa gen moun k’ap koute. Se youn oubyen lòt. Ouswa w’ap pale ouswa w’ap koute. Ou pa ka fè toulede alafwa.

Your boss is right sweetie, you can't talk while he's talking. If everyone is talking no one is listening. It's one or the other. Either you're talking or listening. You can't do both at the same time.

O o sou bò ki moun ou ye menm?

Whose side are you on?

Mwen sou bò w cheri – men eske ou ta renmen gen yon odyans k’ap pale pandan w’ap fè yon prezantasyon?

I'm on your side sweetie. But would you like to have an audience talking while you're doing a presentation?

Non men fò’w konprann sa’ m t’ap fè a te enpòtan tou.

No but you must understand that what I was doing was also important.

Menm si sa, pa fè yon lòt sa w pa ta renmen yo fè w. Ou konnen sa trè byen.

Even then, "Don't do unto others, what you wouldn't want done unto you". You know that very well.

Bon kòm mwen wè se kritike ou vle kritike m jodi a, mwen pral kouche kouche m. Ou mèt kouche sou sofa a aswè a.

Since I realize that all you want to to is to criticize me today, I'm going to lie down. You may lie down on the couch tonight.

O o Cheri! Mwen te fè erè. Se ou ki gen rezon.  Se ou ki va toujou gen rezon.

Oh Sweetie! I was wrong. You were right. You will always be right.

A! li twò ta pou chanje lide.  Pase bòn nwi sou sofa a.

It’s too late to change your mind. Have a good night on the couch.

E poutan anyen’w pa laverite however nothing of you is the truth

Aprezan m’vin jennen now I’m in a bind

M’al frape nan pòt ou I go knock at your door

Ou, poutan, pran mwen  a kout pye you, however, kick me out

Ou di m p’ap sa pase  you say I can’t come in

Pou jan m konnen For how I know

M fè byen pou ou I did good deeds for you

Sonje kou lè’m vin frape nan pòt ou remember when I come knock at your door

Ede’m fè sa  help me do this

Meprize scorned

Maltrete mistreated

Imilye humiliated

Gade sa’w fè look at what you did

Ou pa ta fè’m sa You should not have done this to me

Sa’k ta di sa who would have said that (or who knew?)

Pou jan’m goumen pou ou I fought so much for you

M pa ta kwè sa I would not have believed it

Ou fè mwen sezi you surprise me

Se lèzòm That’s man (that's the human way)

 O Bondye papa! Oh God!

Sountrack: Jezi la Pou Toujou by Adonai
Lyrics
Kèk fwa nou jwenn tristès nan lavi nou
Kèk fwa kè nou gen gwo fado tou
Men nou kab konnen nenpòt sa'k rive'n
Jezi la pou toujou


Lè'n nan mitan pwoblèm lavi sa
Chaje ak travay, ak fado lou
Nou gen konfò nan Jezi sovè a
Jezi la pou toujou


Nanpwen fado ke Jezi pa ka pote
Nanpwen tristès ke li pa't genyen tou
Malgre jou yo ka bay lajwa ou tristès
Jezi la pou toujou


Lè n'ap mache nan bèl wout isiba
Konsa gen montay difisil tou
Nan pwomès Bondye, nou jwenn asirans
Jezi la pou toujou


M'avèk ou toujou pawòl la di nou
'Dye pa manke reponn priyè nou
Konfye ou nan pawòl li, pwomès li
Jezi la pou toujou


Jezi la...
Li toujou la..
Li p'ap janmen kite'w...

Track: Shada by Lole-Lolay


Mwen soti Okay
M' ateri Jeremi
Kisa m'al fè?
M'al travay nan Shada
Se hach* m'ap voye  *hach → axe
Se pikwa* m'ap voye  *pikwa → hoe
Se bwa m'ap jete
Se wòch m'ap kraze
M' travay anpil, lajan'm piti
Kijan pou'm fè, pou m'al nan peyi'm?


Pitit mwen malad
Men wi, madanm mwen kouche
Mwen gen preskripsyon
Yo bezwen manje
Solèy ap boule'm
Mwen pa gen lajan
Lapli ap mouye'm
Mwen pa sa pare

M' travay anpil, lajan'm piti

Kijan pou'm fè, pou m'al nan peyi'm?

Lyrics


Ala yon bon bagay, se lè'w nan men Bondye
Pou'l pase men pran ou, pou Li transfòme ou
Travay sa pran yon ti tan.  Li fè'w soufri anpil
Men lè ou byen gade, pa gen pi bon plas pou'w ye.


Lavi a ap malmennen* w, ou santi ou vle fou
Ou chwe* nan tout sa'w fè. Ou ka rele "Anmwey!"
Men lè ou vin sonje, Jezi te fè'w pwomès, 
"Pa janm bliye chak jou, M'ap toujou avèk ou."


Lè dife eprèv* y, limen anba pla* pye'w
Nanm ou ape gwonde*, "Poukisa se mwen menm?"
Pinga ou fè jwèt Satan ki vle dekouraje'w
Sou jenou'w pou'w rete.  Nan pye jezi sovè w.


*malmennen v. → to mistreat
*chwe v. → to fail
*eprèv n. → trial
*pla → sole, base, footing, floor
*gwonde → roar, rumble, complain
