The Essence of Resilience
The phrase “M’pap ka neye” translates to “I will not drown,” which is the recurring theme throughout the song. Harsh waves might batter the boat, but it won’t sink.
This metaphor powerfully represents the human spirit’s resilience and determination to survive, even when faced with life’s most challenging adversities.
Unity Amidst Adversity
In the face of hardship and need, the lyrics question who will come forward to lend a helping hand. This theme underscores the importance of unity and solidarity.
It’s a reminder that we all have a role to play in the governance of our lives and society. Understanding one another’s struggles, particularly in times of need, can eliminate many burdens.
The Pursuit of Truth
The song’s lyrics encourage us to seek truth, particularly in our interactions actively. “Fòk ou al chèche, Pou konnen kòt verite yo ye” means “you must go searching to know where the truths are.”
The song suggests that it’s essential to inquire, to find the reality hidden beneath the surface. It’s about encouraging empathy and understanding in our dealings with others.
Empowering Others
The lyrics emphasize the importance of recognizing the power within oneself and the importance of not relying solely on others for assistance.
Recognizing our inner strength allows us to stand tall despite tough times. However, Ceide also stresses the importance of helping others when we see them in need, even without them asking.
The Joy of Giving
A key message in the song is the joy derived from helping others. It encourages acts of kindness and charity, reminding us that true satisfaction comes from making a positive difference in someone else’s life.
The lyrics also suggest that we should give without seeking recognition or praise – the act of giving should be rewarded enough.
M’pap ka neye by Zafem Lyrics:
M’pap ka neye
Bato a pap koule
M’pap ka neye
Menm lè lanmè move
Gen anpil nesesite o
Kilès k’ap vi’n ede’n
Tèlman gen nesesite o
M’pa ka menm rakonte
Se nou’k gen gouvènay la
M’pap ka neye
Bato a pap koule
M’pap ka neye
Menm lè lanmè move
Gen anpil nesesite o
Kilès k’ap vi’n ede’n
Tèlman gen nesesite o
M’pa ka menm rakonte
Konpreyansyon se yon gwo koze
Li ka elimine anpil tèt chaje
Gen moun k’ap viv avè w’K pap janm pale
Fòk ou al chèche, Pou konnen kòt verite yo ye
Ou ka mande mesye Jowèl si ou vle
Si ou vle, si ou vle
Ou ka madan Jowèl ooooo
Ou ka mande madan Jowèl si ou vle
Si ou vle, si ou vle
Mwen konn wè sa rive nan anpil fanmi
Madanm ak mouche avèk menm zanmi
Ou ka wè dan deyò men se ak gwo efò
Epi ofon yo ka tòdye tou pre trepase
Si’w kwè m manti mande ale mande
Ou ka mande mesye Jowèl si ou vle
Si ou vle, si ou vle
Ou ka madan madan mesye a
Ou ka mande madan Jowèl si ou vle
Si ou vle, si ou vle
Sa vle di si’w wè’l, si’w gen pouvwa pou fè’lOu pa bezwen kite moun mandeSi w wè nesesiteWòl tout vèditèSe kole zepòlLè nou fin fè la charitePa paleMòdòd la se toujou patajeLi pap chanje
Se pou mizik sa fè m sonje
Pou’m toujou pataje
Douvan
Lagon moso pen nan larivyè ya
Yon pwason ap pote’l bòw bò lanmè a
Yela yaya
Tout bon tan move tan se pou yon tan, Fòk nou sonje sa
E si jou yo souri ba w, Fò w gen gratitid pou sa
Ou pap ka bon moun pou tout moun
Se pa tout moun ki youn
Sa se Zafem, ZAFEM
Zafem
Vi’n pale’w
O O O O O O O O
O O O O O O O O
O O O O O O O O
O O O O O O O O
Si’w te konn valè fòs ki nan ou
O O O O O O O O
Yo toujou di mande ya va ba ou
Men’w ka merite yo pa gen pou ou
Sonje ou pap neye pou sa
Sonje ou pap peye pou sa
Se pa tout moun ki alèz nan ranpe
Lè’w gon byen pou fè, Piga’w demake
ou ka jwenn Kontantman nan sa
ou ka jwenn Kontantman nan sa
Ann fè mesaj la pase
Ann fè’l pase
Tyenbe tyenbe
Tyenbe tyenbe
Lalalala lala
Yo toujou di mande ya va ba ou
Men’w ka merite yo pa gen pou ou
Sonje ou pap neye pou sa
Sonje ou pap peye pou sa
Se pa tout moun ki alèz nan ranpe
Lè’w gon byen pou fè, Piga’w demake
Genyen la Kontantman nan sa
ou ka jwenn Kontantman nan sa
An’n fè mesaj la pase
An’n fè l pase
Tyenbe tyenbe
Tyenbe tyenbe
Lalalala lala
Hey hey

Tout sak santi yanba dlo
Santi pèsòn pa sonje yo
