Lizette Ma Cheré Amie
Language: English
Lisette, to quitte la plaine Mo perdu bonheur a mouin; Yeux a mouin ‘semblé’ fontaine Dipuis mo pas miré tou. Le jour quand mo coupé canne Mo ponce l’amour a mouin ; La nuit quand mo dans cabanne Dans dormi mo voir tou. Si to allé dans la ville To trouvé bon candio Qui gaignin pour trompé fille Bouche doux passé sirop. To va croi’ li bien sincère Pendant que li ein cocaïne ; Ce un serpent qui connain fait Comme un rat pou trompé’ bien! Lisette, ma chère amie! Lisette, to quitté la plaine Mo perdu bonheur a mouin.
