REVOLUTION is not war, REVOLUTION is ART, and it begins with your way of thinking.
Free your mind, free yourself.
La Révolution n'est pas la guerre, l'ART est Révolution, et cela commence par notre manière de penser.
Libérez votre esprit, libérez vous.
lyrics
Un ti mot i ginn fé
Coule un nation
Un idée i peu fé
Lèv out génération
Trap out plume
Danse, chante, écris
Souris, parle, échange out bonèr
A nou nou pé rouv les kèr
A moin mi vé lèv pou la paix
Aou dan ton lame na la clé
Si mi tomb dan mon vie
Mon dalon mon ami
Pou chante l’égalité
Et la fraternité
Mi sra pa mort pou rien
Si mi wa lamour i pouss
La haine plus loin
Kom un flèr i grandi
Dan mon kèr l’harmonie
Li va trouv un chemin
Pou éclaire mon demin
Révolution dan lèr
Mon nation sa la tèr
Ki sa i sa di pou moin
Out voie lé dan ton main
Lé dan ton kèr
Trap out destin
Oubli pa la mer le ciel
Out rasin bonèr i rode soley
Di pa moin l’état lé la
Pou di a ou Bouge pas ! Pense pas !
Kom si un boug la jamais touche la terre
I pé juge a ou parskou vi dan galère
Mon flamme jamais va étein
Personne i sa empèch a moin pein
Mon rèv kom un tableau kom i di
Ousanousava si nou laisse ban bandit
Di a nou Marche ici ! Parle pas !
Attention ou sa tombe bien plus bas.
I fo ou danse, ris, plèr, joue, écris, parle, pense, vis ton vie !
Pou moin l’art c’est la vérité
Pouss a moin, tape su moin jamais mi va arrêter
Ou pé grondé, ronflé mon bec
Mon grande guèl mi sa pa fermé
Sa mon tèr, sa la tèr toute domoune
Liberté pou parler
Egalité pou lever
Fraternité pou la paix
Révolution pou rêver…
One word can make a nation sink
One idea can make a generation rise
Put your pen to paper
Dance, sing, write, smile,
Trade your happyness
Together we can open hearts
Me, I want to get up for peace
And you, in your soul got the key
If I fall in my life
My dalon, my friend
For singing équality
And fraternity
I will not be dead pointlessly
If i see love press
Hate further
As a flower that growns
In my heart harmony
Will find a direction
To light my tomorrow
There is révolution in the air
Earth is my nation
Who will bring that message for me
Your way is in your hands
In your heart
Catch your destiny
But never forget
Sea and sky
Happyness’s roots searches for sun
Don’t tell me State is here to say
Don’t move ! Don’t think !
As if someone that has never touch ground
Could juge you because of your real pain
My fire will not pass away
Nobody will stop me from painting
My dream like a picture as says «Ousanousava »
If we let crooks tell us « walk here ! don’t talk ! »
Be carefull or you will fall to a lower level
You have to dance, laugh, cry, write, speak, think, live your life !
To me Art is Truth
Push me, hurt me I will never stop
You can be brewing, you can roar my mouth
My big mouth will never close for you
This is my earth, this is our earth
Liberty to talk
Equality to get up
Fraternity for peace
Revolution to dream.
