Pi Wo
Higher
Shilay
Full lyrics and English translation for Shilay's song 'Pi Wo,' an uplifting track about hope, hard work, and rising above challenges.
Verse 1
Si Jodi a ou wè
If today you see
Wap mache ak de pye’w atè
You're walking barefoot
Pèsòn pa baw valè
No one values you
Lavi a pa fèw favè
Life doesn’t do you any favors
Toutotan ou vivan li poko janm twò ta
As long as you’re alive, it’s never too late
Depi’w Travay pou sa, Zanmi’m fò’w gen espwa
As long as you work for it, my friend, you must have hope
Chorus
Pi wo, pi wo
Higher, higher
Pi wo pase solèy
Higher than the sun
Wap leve yon jou
You’ll rise that high one day
Ou gen pouw jwi bonèw
You will enjoy your happiness
Try pouw Travay plis
Try to work harder
Met may pouw reyisi
Put in effort to succeed
Yon lè fòk ou rive byen lwen
One day, you must make it far
Part 2
Gen sa'k vin milyonè, malgre yo te leve pòv (wohh)
Some became millionaires, even though they grew up poor (wohh)
Ou ka vin gen richès plis pase sa kap fè show off (wohh)
You could gain more wealth than the ones showing off (wohh)
Malgre n nan yon sistèm ki ogmante mizè
Even though we’re in a system that increases suffering
Pigaw fè tèt ou mal zanmi fòk ou pran kè
Don’t hurt yourself, my friend, you must stay strong
Bridge
Yon lè kanmenm, laviw ap chanje, kanmenm
One day for sure, your life will change, for sure
Fòk ou pare tèt ou pou demen, yeah!
You need to prepare yourself for tomorrow, yeah!
Ouuuh!
Ouuuh!
Toutotan ou vivan li poko janm twò ta
As long as you're alive, it's never too late
Depi'w Travay pou sa, Zanmi'm fò'w gen espwa
As long as you work for it, my friend, you must have hope
