Lyrics of An Sansib - Kassav'

An Sansib (original)

An’sansib
Sa’i di ya, do you?
An sansib, an sansib, an sansib
Sa’y di ya, ou savé nou kontan sa
Pa djè révé
Pa fann sistè nou ja savé ki moun i ye
Cheçhé mannié
Padonné nou la nou yé a nou pa ka touché
Véyé pli lwen
Ki sa ka fet nou ka gadé, zié pa ka tjwé
Ta la tan-mwen
Nou té konpwann out é ni charité pou zanmi
I sav lè mwen bizwen
An tjo kares ou an kalen o o
I pa pè fè moun ri
Granmoun pa ka won’t yo ka di o o
An’sansib
Sa’i di ya, do you?
An sansib, an sansib, an sansib
Sa’y di ya, ou savé nou kontan sa
Ni ka tournen’w alanvé
Epi dot ka fè'w dépalé
Tan-mwen pa ka fè manniè
Pou fè mwen chanté
(An sansib…)
Pa djè révé
Pa fann sistè nou ja savé ki moun i yé
Cheché mannié
Padonné nou la nou yé a nou pa ka touché
Véyé pli Iwen
Ki sa ka fet nou ka gadé, zié pa ka tjoué
Ta la tan-mwen
Nou fé konpwann ou té ni charité pou zanmi
(An sansib…)
Pawol-li sa chayé mwen
Pas i sav sa man bizwen
I konnet fè mwen révé
Lè'y ka mannié mwen
(An Sansib.)
Mé nou pa anvi, pran nonm-aw, pran nonm-aw
Sa vré
Sa nou sé anvi, nonm kon ta’w, nonm konta’w
Sa vré
An sansib… adlib

(translation)

Sensitive
That said, what about you?
Sensitive, sensitive, sensitive
That said, you know we are happy
Do not reveal
Don't tell us who you are
Dry mannié
Forgive us, we are here, we cannot touch
Look further
What can be done we can see, the eye cannot see
It would be my time
We understood August and charity for friends
He knows when I need him
Let's caress you in the calendar
He is not afraid to make people laugh
Adults can't be wrong, they can say oh oh
Sensitive
That said, what about you?
Sensitive, sensitive, sensitive
That said, you know we are happy
Nor can you turn back
And dot can make you go away
Time-I can't do manners
To make me sing
(Sensitively…)
Do not reveal
Don't tell us who you are
Cheché mannié
Forgive us, we are here, we cannot touch
Watch more Iwen
What can be done we can look, eyes can not play
It would be my time
We understand that you have no charity for friends
(Sensitively…)
His word is mine
Don't know what I need
He knows how to make me revere
When they can handle me
(Sensitive.)
But we don't want to, take your man, take your man
That's true
That's what we want, man with you, man with you
That's true
In sensitivity… adlib
