Mwen Bouke
I'm Tired
Shilay, Wisman Homie
Full lyrics and English translation for 'Mwen Bouke', a raw, emotional release about fatigue, frustration, and truth.
Verse 1
Yon fwa ma rive rakonte (ma va pale)
One day I’ll tell it all (I’ll speak)
Yon fwa ma rive temwanye
One day I’ll be able to testify
Le mond fè’m mal, lanati fè’m
The world hurt me, and nature hurt me.
Tout moun fè’m mal
Everyone hurt me
Yon fwa ma rive rakonte
One day I’ll tell it all
Hook
Mwen bouke ehh
I'm tired, ehh
Bouke jis nanm mwen toumante
Tired to the point my soul is tormented
Mwen bouke viv ak kè sere
I'm tired of living with a heavy heart
Mwen bouke
I'm tired
Verse 2
Moun ki aji mal, se yo’k toujou chanse
Those who do evil are always the lucky ones
Sa ki onèt se yo’k mal pase
Those who are honest are the ones who suffer
Mwen pèdi kouraj, pèdi tèt, mwen dekouraje
I lost courage, lost my mind, I gave up
Lemond engra, Ayisyen pi mal
The world is ungrateful. Haitians are even worse
Yon fwa ma rive rakonte
One day I’ll tell it all
Wisman Homie's Verse
Lè sa ma rive dechaje’m
Then I’ll finally let it all out
Ahh
Ahh
Ahh
Ahh
Kè’m saturé
My heart is saturated
Tout kalamite m jwenn sou chemen m map rive avoué
All the hardships I’ve faced along my way, I’ll admit them
Ke tout chemen pat janm mennen a Rome
Not all roads ever led to Rome
Konsekans yo te plis ke avantaj
The consequences were greater than the rewards
Wap konprann lèm refize sac plen ak kòb
You’ll understand when I refuse a bag full of money
Ou panse se siksè’m pa renmen
You think it’s because I don’t like success
Lèm inyore des occasions en or se toujou pou byen m
When I ignore golden opportunities, it’s always for my own good
Moun kap mennen w ka pa vle mennen
The person guiding you might not want you to make it
Li telman panse négatif
He thinks so negatively
Li panse li pa nòmal si yon jou wap mennen l
He thinks it’s wrong if one day you’re the one leading him
Mond lan biza
The world is weird
Map proteje vi pam
I’m protecting my life
M pito viv byen nan yon cercle fèmen ke mal ante’l nan vi star
I’d rather live well in a closed circle than suffer inside a celebrity life
Kitem fight ak brimad
Let me fight through the hardship
Sim santim konble, mwen pa wè rezon pou dim mwen pa hot paske map viv vi’m calme
If I feel fulfilled, I don’t see the point in you telling me I’m not hot just because I live my life calm
