Could you translate some of the lyrics in Jocelyne Beroard's song "Siwo"? I absolutely love the song, but I cannot always understand what they're singing and I do not know what it means in English.
Here's a link where you'll find the lyrics to " Siwo".

Please, give me a Verse in the Bible that say that " don't worry about what should you eat and what should you drink."
Matthew 6:25 "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?"
Matye 6:25-31 "Se poutèt sa, mwen di nou: Pa bat kò pou sa nou bezwen pou manje ak bwè pou viv, ni pou rad nou bezwen pou mete sou kò nou. Eske lavi a pa pi konsekan pase manje? Eske kò a pa gen plis valè pase rad?"
