Carnival Lyrics by Wyclef Jean

The Carnival

1997

[Intro: Wyclef Jean]
Refugee Allstars
Nou nan bal la aswè, tout nèg ap relax
Fi ki gen fo cheve yo, fo zong, se tèt poul ou ye
Fi ap pede rele gason "chyen" bagay sa yo paka pati nan bal la
Ou konnin Kreyòl mwen malouk, men nap eseye
Tandem, bam bam bam fon ti pale avèk nou, tande tande
[Verse 1: Wyclef Jean]
Si gen nèg ki nan bal lan (uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh)
Ki santi fi an se tèt pou li ye (uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh)
E ou santi ke ou pagen peche, ou mèt kalonnen poul lan ak kout ròch
Kade fi kap pran ròch (kadeeeee ròch), kade fi kap pran kout ròch
Anmweey
[Chorus: Wyclef Jean & Sweet Mickey]
Original lan, original lan, original la, men orginal lan (HE!)
Original lan, original lan, original, Ti Mano original lan (HE!)
Original lan, original lan, original, Refugee orginal lan (HE!)
Original lan, original
Surprise, it's Sweet Mickey y'all
Si nou te jwe Konpa, se konsa nou ta mate
Matin, midi, swa New York ta yon kanaval
Si nou te jwe Konpa, si nou te Mate zo, Se konsa li ta sonnen
Lè nou pral fè bal, pagen kote pou nou met moun
[Verse 2: Wyclef Jean]
Ankò
Mwen pavle tèt poul, mwen pavle Kentucky Fried Chicken (oh ho)
Mwen pavle sis piece nugget, on fam Ayisyen mwen bezwen sou kotem (tanpri souple)
Mwen pavle bagay ki hmm, mwen pavle chinese food
Mwen pavle sis piece nugget, on fam Ayisyen mwen bezwen so kotem (tande)
Fam Ayisyen, nou konnen nou se nimero en
Pa okipe nou si yap mete nou nan zin (zin)
Jalouzi ap fè kankou nou yo se Kayen, en-en, en-en
Vendredi aprèmidi nou prale nan cinema
Aprèsa nou pral danse Konpa
Jacob
[Verse 3: Jacob Desvarieux]
Woy, woy woy woy
Depi se Taniz mache, koute loraj la gronde
Kade la paye-a soukwe, koute se chyen ra jape
Depi se Taniz mache, kade latè-a soukwe
Koute loraj la gronde (retire menw nan poch mweh)
[Interlude: Wyclef Jean]
Epa moun yo ap tire dèyè-a, pa gen anken rezon
Jan bal lan, tout moun ap relax yo - pou nèg
E lè sa, nèg yo vle kraze bal-lan
E kounya pou nèg yo wè e dèyè-an pou yal tire
Mesye relax nou, mwen gen Jocelyn la
Jocelyn pral pale ak tout fi yo
So Jocelyn map bow mikro-an, mwen bow trant segond, ale
[Bridge: Jocelyn Berouard]
Si yon fanm, andidan, ki trouve nom se dimi frè chyen fè (uh huh)
Si pe jire he pa janmè peche, a lò fèy bwan la kouse, ak kout ròch
Gade nèg kap pran ròch, mezanmi(ròch)
Gade tout nèg kap pran ròch nan bal-lan(ròch)
Tout nèg sa yo ap pran kout ròch(ròch), roy
Anmweey (hey)
[Chorus: Wyclef Jean & (Jocelyn Berouard)]
Original lan, original lan, original la, men orginal lan(kòk la vole manman poul la)
Original lan, original lan, original la, men orginal lan(kòk la vole manman poul la)
Original lan, original la, original, all-star original lan(kòk la vole manman poul la)
Original lan, original la, mache
[Verse 5: Wyclef Jean]
Mwen pavle tèt poul, mwen pavle Kentucky Fried Chicken
Mwen pavle sis piece nuggets, on fam Ayisyen mwen bezwen sou kotem(ankò)
Mwen pavle chinese food, mwen pavle bagay ki hmm..
Mwen pavle sis piece nuggets, on fam Ayisyen mwen bezwen sou kotem(tande)
Fam Ayisyen, nou konnen nou se nimero en
Pa okipe nou si yap mete nou nan zin(zin)
Jalouzi ap fè kankou nou yo se Kayen, en-en, en-en
Vendredi aprèmidi nou prale nan cinema
Kisa nou pral gade, [Naughty Professor]
Timari, mape vin chachew nan Jaguar
Apresa nou pral mange diri a omar
Li gade mwen, li tonbe ri "haha"
Yon men manyen mwen nan do, Le mwen gade
E te papal' - papal' rale yon zam men mwen men pat kouri
Mwen di, "poukisa papi wap fè jalouzi, se piti fi'w ki fèm fè belle"
Li di, "sesa kadav ou deja ap tan ou nan simityè
