Listen To Me Cry
Shilay
Full lyrics and English translation for Shilay's song 'Koute Kriye Mwen,' a heartfelt plea for help and recognition in times of despair.
Verse 1
Mwen gen yon bagay kap toumante lespri’m
I have something that is tormenting my soul
Doktè pa ka jwenn solisyon
The doctors can’t find a solution
Mwen defigire telman, menm depafini
I’m so disfigured that I look like a shell of myself
Tankoum anba gwo pinisyon
Like I’m under a heavy punishment
Ahhh! Èske Bondye konnen egzistans mwen
Ahhh! Does God even know I exist?
Ahhh! Map mande poukisa mwen
Ahhh! I keep asking why it’s me
Chorus
Ou pa ta lagem konsa
You shouldn’t leave me like this
Abandonem konsa
Or abandon me like this
Pa meprizem konsa
Don’t ignore me like this
Koute kriye mwen
Hear my cry
M pa gen lafwa ankò
I don’t have faith anymore
Mwen nan yon lit pou kòm
I’m in a battle by myself
Mwen pèdi tout fòs
I’ve lost all strength
Koute kriye mwen
Hear my cry
Bridge
Pafwa map mande
Sometimes I ask
Bondye ki koto ye
God, where are you?
Pafwa mwen doute
Sometimes I doubt
Si vrèmanw egziste
If you really exist
Priye mwen priye
I pray, I pray
Èske ou pa tandem?
Don’t you hear me?
Pafwa mwen dekouraje
Sometimes I feel discouraged
