Jwèt mab (Marble game) (English version)

Go ahead, yes, you win
yet, you’re still sad within
Cause, it was just a game
I’m a wimp, I’ve no fame.
Joy, laughter from the start
then, my heart falls apart
Falls in love, finds trouble
remorse, pain and struggle.

In my soul, a dead dream
something I can’t redeem
Love knows not how to bet
it gives without regret.

Give as much as you can
make it your greatest plan
Don’t you dwell in despair
find a way to repair.

If you want, I’ll go far
as afar as a star
There’s no need to get mad
no one wins, it’s all bad.
Game of hearts, marble game
the weak is just too lame
Game of love, game of fools
the strong makes all the rules.

In my soul, a burnt dream
something I can’t redeem
Love knows not how to bet
it gives without regret.

Give as much as you can
make it your greatest plan
Don’t you dwell in despair
find a way to repair.

Ain’t easy to let go
despite grief and sorrow
My tune, my melody
drenched in melancholy.
It’s alright, I shall go
I will surf my sorrow
Till the game is replayed
till new rules have been laid.

Sure, it was just a game
game means fun, but, not blame
marble game, simple game
but, my heart is in flame.
