about

Lajoso is the hill where my whole family lives in Martinique and where my father grew up. It's a symbol of happiness, through the eyes of my father. it is a place rocked by light, where we feel good and where memories are comforting. A haven of peace.

lyrics

Tu sais je viens de la terre que les vents balayent
Ils dispersent les secrets, les embruns de mes rêves
J’ai gravi chacune des collines du ciel
Ici on dit que la nuit des voix nous appellent

Coq la chanté
Nou ka lévé
La pli ka tombé
zeb la mouillé

Le ciel est clair
La colline Lajoso s'éveille
Résonnent les rires des Chabins aux yeux de miel
Ils courent ensemble le long de la rivière
Frôlant les arbres qui ploient sous les mangots verts

Ninon lévé
I ka joué mazurk piké
Nou ka dansé

Le ciel est clair la colline Lajoso s'éveille
Résonnent les rires des chabins aux yeux de miel
Ils courent ensemble le long de la rivière
Frôlant les arbres qui ploient sous les mangots verts

Lajoso
“Lajoso”
Écoutez le bruit sourd
“le bruit sourd”
des tambours
“des tambours”
fendre l’air
“fendre l’air”
Ninon joue
“Ninon joue”
le bèlè
“le bèlè”
Lazare chante
“Lazare chante”
lavwa dèyè
Les gens dansent
“les gens dansent”
Remontons
“remontons”
le jour tombe
“le jour tombe”
Oui rentrons
“oui rentrons”
Les vieux nous regardent passer
Ti marmaille bruyante d’un pays emmêlé
Mêlé
Mêlé
“D’un pays emmêlé”
Mêlé
Mêlé
Mêlé
Mêlé
Mêlé
Mêlé
Mêlé
