[Vilx]
(It all happened last night man)
Across the room eye contact, yeah I'm tryna reach her
Tryna get her to notice I'm noticing her features
Beautiful smile, plus she's slim in the waist
The way she licks her lips has me wanting a taste
If only I could, I would, but I haven't even met her, uhn
Twenty-two years on this earth, never seen better, nah
So yeah I took my chance, I didn't prance
Got the number in the hopes of a little romance.

[Chorus]
Yèreswa, yèreswa
(It all happened last night)
Yon ti fanm vòlè m sou chimen m
(Last night, last night)
Yon ti fanm kenbe m nan yon ti kwen
(What did she do?)
Defwa lanmou ka fè yon moun dechennen

[Alan]
An verite, m'pa konn kouman pou m eksplike l non
Li jis gade m l'ouvè kè mwen (l'ouvè kè mwen)
L'annik manyen m m'pat ka defann mwen
Fè mwen pèdi kontwòl
Fè mwen pèdi la pawòl

[Mayer Morissette]
An verite, pa konn kòman pou m eksplike w
L'annik gade m l'ouvè kè mwen
L'annik manyen m pasa defann tèt mwen
Sa pa vle di poutan mwen vle feeling sa a sispann

[Vilx]
Mami, listen
A player ain't always a player
Cuz me, I done played my last game
I finally found the girl to let carry my last name
In other words, I never felt like this before
Never had a woman make my jaw hit the floor
But with you, it's something different maâ€”can't explain
The feeling you give me, you got a nigga going insane
Just think of it reallyâ€”damn I barely know her name
But it really doesn't matter at all
That's what you call love at first sight

[Alan]
Non mpat vle, mpat vle l sispann
O non mpat vle, mpat vle l sispann kenbe m
Zonbi goute sèl, mwen pat mande rete (pat mande rete)
M'te anvi sa dire jouk tan solèy leve

[Chorus]
Yèreswa, yèreswa
Yon ti fanm vòlè m sou chimen m
Yon ti fanm kenbe m nan yon ti kwen
Dèfwa lanmou ka fe yon moun dechennen

[Alan]
Cheri w mache nan san m, boulvèse andan m
Pou mwen ou g'on santiman ki la pou lontan
Depi w pase devan m, kap mwen pran nan van
Se wè m wè m'kanpe djanm djanm djanm djanm djanm
Depi w pase devan m, kap mwen pran nan van
Se wè m wè m'kanpe djanm djanm djanm djanm djanm
Ou s'on eman bèl ti manman

Yèswa se premye fwa, m'wè klè nan fènwa
Cheri w banmwen lajwa, ou banmwen lafwa
Ou s'on fanm bèl kou zwa ki pote lajwa
Nan wayòm pa w m'santi m wa wa wa wa wa
Ou s'on fanm bèl kou zwa ki pote lajwa
Nan wayòm pa w m'santi m wa wa wa wa wa
Ou s'on eman bèl ti manman

Ya, ya la la la ley
Ya la la la la la hey ye la la (fade out)

Five Diaspora Winter Anthems

A few weeks ago, all 50 states reached freezing temperatures. The Polar vortex may be gone, but most of us still can't feel our toes. Since humans can't hibernate, staying in and hunkering down is only a temporary fix. Plus, we have to brave the cold to pay those bills. Good thing, we have music to warm our souls. Quite a few Haitian artists have migrated to the States, Canada, and Europe. They've all experienced the winter blues and expressed their lingering homesickness in song. Here are a few of our favorites. They're a potent cocktail of frustration and nostalgia. We'd cry,...

Kompasoul Impresses On 'No Rules'

No Rules is the debut album of Kompasoul, a new band from Montreal, Canada. The 13 tracks flow seamlessly and leave you dancing throughout the duration of the project. What's most impressive about Kompasoul is their versatility. While the band is able to churn out hard-hitting club bangers promoters will love (Pè severans, Pirana, Manje Pou 2), they also craft mellow konpa love and zouk hits DJs will spin. And the transition between the two sounds is effortless. Even...

Cavé has performed and collaborated with other well-known performers in zouk, kompa, French and Caribbean music such asMalavoi, Mario DeVolcy, Tanya Saint-Val, Haddy N'jie, Roy Shirley, and Les ténors du Zouk.

This album seems to transcend barriers of language and cultural sound, with its melodies popular in Japan, Africa and South America, even though listeners may not understand the words. He continuous to have a solo career and has released five solo kompa albums.
