This moutya number has all the elements to make 'Ayo yo' a hit with the local public. It is surely up there with the likes of the rhythmic songs that are supposed to embody the 'soufrans' of the workers in our society past and present. The song takes in the real tambour moutya feel and Jana's vocals encapsulates this almost universal cry of the hurt and pain that this life is bringing upon us. In the Seychelles context, 'Ayo yo' will surely become a sensation and will make its way as an anthem at future political rallies.
It does lift up one's spirit almost in a trance as the percussions of the 'lapo kabri' takes one into this universe of suffering echoed by soulful diva Jana and her Jah Bless Crew.
Intro:
Yeh, zot ti kwar Jana Ranks pa pou dir narnyen
Manyer sa lavi in ser koumsa
Sa wa dir mwan…
Refren:
Ayo yo, ayo yo, ayo yo, ayo yo y fermal
Zot pas dimyel obor ver, e zot fer nou bwar vineg
Pou nou ganny sa gou dou, saler dan fon y eg,…Ankor
X 2
Vers:
Konmela sa lavi ki nou pe viv, nou bezwen konbat pou sirviv
Sa pti git lamonen, pa arriv ziska lot mwan
Ladanmem partou dan magazin preski napa narnyen
Ni mem dile pou bwar dite, ni mem diri tab pou manze
Lo sa lanmer azite, nou bato pe drive
Ankor… o ti le o lae ala y la, o ti lae lae la, o ti le lae la y la,
O ti le lae, o lae….x 2
Vers:
Seselwa nou pa tro kouyon, nou bezwen konn laverite
Tro bokou le tan monn asize, ni mem santer pa le sante
Abe mwan monn fatige, alor mon bezwen sante
Les mwal rod sa lavi, pou mon tan, mom pti trezor
Mem si mwa ganny mon lanmor, mem si zot a fer mwan ditor
Zis ek jah mon ganny mon konfor, respe mon annan pou mon lekor
Donn mwan mon rezon donn mwan mon tor
Alor si zot dakor, nwa sant san enn ankor!
Mon dir… Ayo yo, ayo yo, ayo yo…
Repet refren x 2

Vers:
Abe si ou annan trwar piti ou bezwen o mwen san roupi
Tou lezour pou anvoy zot lekol, noun fini cole dan sa lakol
Pa ni pe kool kapitalis, kot nou pe fer sakrifis
kantmem nou bezwen mars dan bis, zot dir lisyen y ganny pis
Men san enn mon pa konen, ki kalite viris…(pli move ki tikungunya sann en)
Mon dir… Ayo yo, ayo yo, ayo yo…
Ankor…
Repet refren x 2 till fade
