Si ou ka tradwi: Kò imen: esplike fenomèn kwasans lakay moun. Human body: explain the phenomenon of human growth? What is "lakay" doing there?

Kò imen (from French corps humain) → human body
In Creole sometimes, you will also see imèn which also comes from the French humaine which itself is the feminine of French word humain.

lakay, in Creole, does not only mean house or home; it also means deep within ourselves or within

You will hear Creole speakers say:
Li gen yon gwo defo lakay li.
He has a big fault/vice in him.

You will often hear preachers say:
Fòk nou retire vye abitid sa yo lakay nou.
You must remove these bad habits from within yourselves.

Or you might hear:
Ou gen twòp rankin lakay ou.
You have too much resentment within yourself.
You are very resentful.

SO,
kwasans lakay moun
maturation within people.
growth within the human body.

Regarding previous post about "lavichè", is there another way to say "hardship"?

hardship (as in poverty?) → povrete, lavi di, zafè pa bon, boukannen dlo, bat dlo pou fè bè

We fell into hardship. (Is that correct in English :-\ ?)
Nou te tonbe nan povrete.
Nou te tonbe nan boukannen dlo.
Nou te tonbe nan lavi di.
Nou te tonbe nan zafè pa bon.
etc...


hardship (as in distress, suffering, trials) → zeprèv, difikilte, peripesi, tribilasyon, tray, traka

We will get through the hardships and trials in our lives.
Nou va andire difikilte ak zeprèv yo nan lavi nou.

Kisa vle di 'lavichè'? Li pral bat grangu epi lavichè.

lavichè (lavi chè), literally means life expensive
If it is one word, lavichè, it means hardship, hard times, suffering,  inflation, bad economic times
If it is two words, lavi chè, then it is a sentence, Life is expensive.

These are the two translations that might work based on what you have:

as one word:
Li pral bat grangou epi lavichè. (Could it be: Li pral bat grangou ak lavichè?)
He / She will endure famine and bad economic times.

as two words:
Li pral pat grangou epi lavi chè.
He/she will brave hunger, and life is expensive.

Hi I was wondering can you do the song Yves et Yvan: Danse Danse lyrics please?

Twa lame pral atake Jida

Za-ka-syèl ranpli ak lespri

Li di Jozafa Letènèl pale

Pandan w’ap louwe m’ap ba ou viktwa

Se konsa m’danse

Se konsa m’louwe

Se konsa m’danse pou Bondye m nan

Se konsa sa ye

M sonje David an Izrayèl

Ki te wè lach la t’ap retounen

Li retire manto li, Michal fache

Se premye fwa li te wè ‘on wa k’ap danse

Chak moun g‘on jan yo danse

Chak moun g‘on jan yo louwe

Chak moun g‘on jan yo danse pou Bondye

Se konsa sa ye

M pa ka bliye ki kote ou  te jwenn mwen

Se sa’k fè lè’m rantre nan tanp lan

Gen de moun ki pa ka konprann mwen

Jan yo wè’m kanpe m’ap danse

Chak moun g‘on jan yo danse

Chak moun g‘on jan yo louwe

Chak moun g‘on jan yo danse pou Bondye

Se konsa sa ye

Ad lib…

Danse’l non

Leve de men w tande!

Louwe’l non, se pa mwen li ye

Leve de men’w legliz!

Chak moun g‘on jan yo danse

Chak moun g‘on jan yo louwe

Chak moun g‘on jan yo danse pou Bondye

Se konsa sa ye

G‘on onksyon ki fè men’m anlè toujou

G‘on onksyon ki fè sa

G‘on onksyon ki fè m’ap louwe l toujou

G’on onksyon ki fè sa

G‘on onksyon ki fè m’a chante l toujou

G‘on onksyon ki fè sa

S’on onksyon k’ fè m pa ka chita lè’m nan tanp lan

S’on onksyon ki fè sa

Lè m’ap danse, ou pa konprann mwen, s’on onksyon k’ andan m

S'on onksyon ki fè sa

S’on onksyon k’ andanm ki fè m’ap louwe jan’w wè m nan

Son onksyon ki fè sa

Pou kote m soti a, pou kote l mete’m, m’ap louwe’l

G’on onksyon ki fè sa

L retire nan fatra, L retire nan labou, fò’m louwe’l

G’on onksyon ki fè sa

Mwen di s’on oksyon k’andan m ki fè men’m anlè

S’on onksyon ki fè sa

S’on onksyon k’andan’m m ki fè’m pèdi tèt mwen lakay

G’on onksyon ki fè sa

S’on onksyon ki fè’m leve pou jwa’m anlè

G’on onksyon ki fè sa

S’on onksyon ki fè m’ap danse toujou

G’on onksyon ki fè sa

G’on onksyon, wi, ki fè m’ap louwe’l toujou

S’on onksyon ki fè sa

David tiye roi Goliat avek yon fistibal (chante David ak Goliat?)

I wonder if this is the song...

David ak Golyat yo te nan konba
Tout moun panse David te fou
Yon ti fistibal te nan men David
Golyat gen tout materyèl
David apiye sou Bondye
Golyat sou zam li
Sa se travay Bondye
David ranpòte laviktwa
Konfye ou nan Bondye
Paske L p'ap janm pèdi batay.

Kè
Bondye ban'm lapriyè kòm gwo zam
Pou m dechouke Satan
Pa gen anyen ki kab kanpe devan zam sa
Moun ki nan lapriyè, Satan koube devan yo
Mwen p'ap janm abandone zam sa
