Ayo Yo

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.

Anvoy lakomba!

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
