Un ti goutte d’eau pou rêver
Ti lamp ti lamp par out zyé
Un cascade koulèr dan ton voix
La fé scintille maloya
Dan mon kèr i bat
Kom un rouler
Un marmay i chante
Rèv !
Rèv zenfan
Va ni grand
Dan mon kèr i bat kom un rèv
Maloya i roule dan mon doulèr
Pou fé ni zoiseau paradis
Dan mon vie fo laisse bonèr
Coulé su moin
Com un doux lèv
Mon soley demin
Va trouv la mer.
ENGLISH VERSION
One little drop of water to dream
Slowly through your eyes
Waterfall of color in your voice
Glistened my Maloya
In my feart beat
Like a Roulèr (big tambor)
A child sing :
Dream !
Children’s dreams
Will one day grow
In my heart beat like a dream
Maloya roll in my pain
To make paradise bird come
In my life
I have to let happyness
Flow on me
Like a soft lip
My sun tomorrow
Will find the sea.
