Lyrics
Sounds like you really could do
– Son tankou ou ta ka reyèlman fè
With a little reminder of who you’re talking to
– Avèk yon ti rapèl de ki moun ou ap pale ak
An honest woman
– Yon fanm onèt
Always there to lend an ear
– Toujou la pou prete yon zòrèy
I dealt with you fairly, been patient, it’s true
– Mwen te fè fas ak ou san patipri, te pasyan, li se vre
But remember, my deer
– Men, sonje, ren mwen
You’re in my zoo
– Ou nan zou mwen an
Don’t you forget
– Pa bliye
You are my pet
– Ou se bèt kay mwen
I say when to sit and stay
– Mwen di lè pou chita epi rete
Roll over, or go fetch
– Woule sou, oswa ale chache
Don’t you forget
– Pa bliye
There’s no way out
– Pa gen okenn fason soti
You’re a debtor ’til the day you settle your account
– Ou se yon debiteur ‘jiska jou ou regle kont ou
I’ve served you faithfully for an age
– Mwen te sèvi ou fidèlman pou yon laj
Obeyed demands, contained my rage
– Obeyi demand, te gen kòlè mwen
Went off the air for years on your behalf
– Te ale sou lè pou ane sou non ou
I know, and you’re so kind!
– Mwen konnen, e ou se konsa bon!
And since you made me disappear
– E depi ou te fè m disparèt
My name inspires much less fear
– Non mwen enspire anpil mwens pè
The least that you can do is fix my staff
– Pi piti ke ou ka fè se ranje anplwaye mwen
In due time
– Nan bon moman
Sing along, dear, you know the words!
– Chante ansanm, cheri, ou konnen mo yo!
Don’t you forget
– Pa bliye
I won’t forget
– Mwen pap bliye
You are my pet
– Ou se bèt kay mwen
Yours since we met
– Ou depi nou te rankontre
I say when to sit and stay
– Mwen di lè pou chita epi rete
Play ball, or just play dead
– Jwe boul, oswa jis jwe mouri
Don’t you forget
– Pa bliye
I’m in your net
– Mwen nan rezo ou
The coop can’t be flown
– Kof la pa ka vole
At least, not yet
– Omwen, pa ankò
The moves you make are mine and mine alone
– Mouvman ou fè yo se pou mwen ak pou mwen sèlman
Looks like you’ll have to do this on your own
– Li sanble tankou ou pral gen fè sa sou pwòp ou yo
Looks like I’ll have to do this on my own
– Li sanble tankou mwen pral gen fè sa sou pwòp mwen
Fine
– Bon
