lyrics

Pa Kont Mwen (Don’t Be Against Me)


Refrain:
Don’t be against me
If I go and I truly don’t return
Or if I do come back and
truly don’t bring anything
If you see I always truly hold my tongue
My friend – you shouldn’t be against me
If you see that I truly always control myself
I follow the plan that
my heart has truly traced out for me
I’m playing my music to truly make a career
My friend- you shouldn’t be against me

1
If I never let you know my weaknesses
It’s so that you don’t destroy me
You could increase my stress,
even destroy my life
If I chose to avoid a man,
that doesn’t mean he’s stronger
Neither, if I help a blind person,
does that mean I’m weaker
Know that the strong side has weaknesses,
And even the weak side has strengths
Don’t ever profit from someone’s
weakness to do him wrong
Rather you should support him
when he’s fragile and help him get better
Then you’ll see how strengths
and weaknesses
have no better accord

Don’t be against me if I don’t agree
with you on a point
If you take a route and see
I’m not walking behind you
Try to find ways to push these
things out of your heart
If I don’t reciprocate,
that doesn’t mean I’m scared of you
Don’t be against me if someone
has a place in my life
Don’t be against me if
I’m never underestimated, it’s not my fault
Don’t be against me,
my liberty is all that I want
Don’t be against me ,
If I tell you not to be against me
Know that you shouldn’t be against me

Refrain

2
If early in the morning, through
the morning dew I’m leaving
Don’t think I’m crazy for how sleep is so sweet,
I could have stayed in bed
There are some steps
I want to ascend in the staircase of life
I have to face the disagreeable parts of life
I won’t be against you if you treat me
like I’m nothing more than
the waves of the ocean
Don’t be against be if I tell you
that I might make it early
I won’t be against you in
whatever you decide to believe, my friend
Don’t be against me when
I tell you it’s in God only that I believe
Yes, who knows me better than myself?
