[Verse 1]
Tu sais bien comment je t’admire
Pou ou m ta bay tout tirès sa m posede
Si lavi ta pèmèt mwen gen
Yon mwayen pou m ta ede kòm sa dwa
Mwen ta ba w tout sa yon gason dwe bay fanm
Men pòch mwen pa fon
Mwen jis fè sa m ka fè
[Chorus]
Jès sa vle di je t’aime
Menm lè m pa gen anpil
Kanmenm m ap fè on ti jès
Jès sa soti nan kè m
Menm lè m pa gen milyon
M ap jwenn on akoden
Jès sa vle di je t’aime
Menm lè m pa gen machin
N ap soti sou moto
[Verse 2]
Tu sais bien tu es mon avenir
Mwen gen gwo rèv ki poko reyalize
Pran pasyans pou mwen ti cheri
Piga w koute konsèy zanmi ak fanmi
Se yo tout kap di ke mwen poko pare
Yo eseye kare w ak lòt nèg ki gen kòb
[Chorus]
[Keyboard Solo]
[Verse 3]
Se pa tout moun ki gen chans
Relasyon k bati sou lanmou
Nou soti nan tout move enpas
Avan n te konn pran nan lanmou
Istwa nou trè diferan
Se sak fè m vin trè konfyan
Nou gon avni k trè pwomèt
Avèk pasyans n ap yon ekzanp
[Choir]
La patience est dur
Mais sa recompense est toujours pure
La patience est dur
Fò n pa kite eprèv menase lanmou n
[Keyboard Solo]

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...

Songwriter's Corner: Roody Laforest
"Cheri, mwen konnen m pa ase." That's what Roody Laforest sings on his debut single, Mwen Pa Ase. It takes an honest man to admit his shortcomings. But after chatting with the Montreal-based singer, we realized though Roody tells it like it is, he can be a little too hard on himself. Wikimizik talked to him about his musical roots and writing process. We hope you enjoy his straight talk as much as we did. Who is Roody? How am I supposed to answer this question? Let's make it short...

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,...

For Mom
That voice in your head isn't your conscience. It's your mother, whispering "Pitit mwen, sa a w'ap fè la a?" Reminding you that you're better than this. Telling you to dust yourself off and finish what you started. Urging you to be as great as she knows you were destined to be. Because that's what mothers do. She always knows best and always wants the best for you. Whether your mother is a short drive away, a phone call away, or in heaven watching down, these songs remind us that the our greatest...
