Sekan soti’m sa-a pou’m bay maman mitit mwen
Pa gen lajan ankò pou’m ba Lera manje, woo!
Look at that rara,
St. Andrew, look at that rara, oh!
Look at that rara,
St. Andrew, look at that rara, oh!
When I heard it,
I took off on my bicycle, following it!
Oh Lera, oh Lera!
When I left, I gave money to my child’s mother;
I don’t have any left to give Lera.
