\"Emeline<\/p>\n

Discovered her through a friend<\/a>, bought an album<\/a> through itunes, but I wasn’t listening til I heard this song:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Vinn danse manman mwen
\nka danse manman mwen
\nm’ka ba’w diaman manman mwen
\nm’pap ka peye’w sa mwen dwe’w
\nvinn danse manman mwen
\nfo’w souri manman mwen
\nm’fe’w chante pou manman mwen
\npa ka peye’w sa mwen dwe’w<\/em><\/p>\n

Translation (with my poor bilingual skills)<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Come dance with my mother
\nCan you dance my mother
\nI can’t give you diamonds my mother
\nI can’t pay you what I owe you
\nCome dance my mother
\nYou must smile\/laugh my mother
\nI sing for my mother
\nI can’t pay you what I owe you <\/em><\/p>\n

From <\/em>“Moso Manman”<\/p>\n

What MTV had to say about her<\/a>.<\/p>\n
