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.

BIOGRAPHY
  • When he first appeared on the Haitian musical scene at the beginning of the nineties, Beethova Obas was immediately considered as one of the most talented and inspired singer-songwriters of his generation. With his painful lyrics and sensuous melodies, Beethova Obas has forged an incisive blues which appeals to audiences on both sides of the Atlantic. Beethova Obas was born in 1964, under the dictatorial regime of François Duvalier. The youngest of five children, he was the son the painter Charles Obas. Beethova recorded the song "Nwel Anmè" in place of Manno Charlemagne. It was a huge hit. The following year, he was elected Best Young Singer by the jury of the Découverte RFI contest. After 1994 Beethova returned home with an album ready for release and the same year brought out "Si", his second album but his first CD. From there a truly international career began.

    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,...
