I'm crying, crying, crying, crying
Please, good God, start me up
Give me wings to take off
A little something to let me loose (2 times)

A braggart said, he's not a man if he can't
Get the little lady sitting by the window
He took two steps, made a little scene
Went to pick up the woman, where she was sitting

The woman is serious
She's not joking
How are you going to seduce her?
The woman is serious
Indeed, she's not joking
How are you going to seduce her?

The sea was beautiful, he felt he would sail
The woman was sweet, they went to see the moon
Before he spoke, the woman took the lead
Said without getting upset, "you won't let me loose...!"
Wololoye wololoye wolololoye

He didn't see it that way.
Never thought about later
The woman herself wanted to stop the nonsense
So he declared:
Hold on, I tell you hold on

How to tell the story later
The young lady was happy
He didn't take her to the zouk
It was him who said before he left:
Hold on, I tell you hold on

I'm crying, crying, crying, crying
Please, good God, start me up
Give me wings to take off
A little something to let me loose

Bèkèkè, bèkèkè

He didn't take her to the zouk
It was him who said before he left:
Hold on, I tell you hold on

Hold on
Woye, the moon is still visible
Hold on
Make a good impression, make them fall
Go see the moon again

Cry, cry, cry, cry
Please, good God, start me up
Give me wings to take off
A little something to let me loose

Bèkèkè, bèkèkè
