Lyrics [Translated from Creole by Sydelle Exantus]
Ti Miyo----------Little Miyo
Little Miyo feels discouraged, every day in his life is a problem
The way he lives, honestly, it touches my heart
A guy who left Province who came to Port au Prince,
he thought he 'd be a little prince
He stayed at his family's house and they welcomed him
He thought things would be easy
He was admitted into the university, he attended Inaghei
He passed without difficulty, his future was on a well-prepared route
He never forgot, where he came from,
the tree leaves he had to water,
at dawn he had to get up
His animals he had to change before sunset
Pass by grandma Dede's to get some dinner, he never forgot
---------------------REFREN-----------------------------------
------------------------------2------------------------------------
This life is so strange, it's like a soccer team
but on your own side it sometimes makes you shoot a goal
He found all he wanted, life didn't tell him to be anybody
People in Province never heard from him
Imagine he's in a place where he doesn't have to spend,
people are always taking care of him
Two months yes, two months didn't even pass yet and the welcome started to change
They're treating him poorly, they're tired
They already want him to leave
Poor little Miyo, he fell into trouble
Even for a little drop of water he drinks, its a big burden
Everything that's bad they blame it on him
Finally, he wants to return home, back to where he's from
Ignored his studies, which was his future, the hope of his mother
