Le balayeur
Tiken Jah Fakoly
The Sweeper
{Chorus}:
The sweeper swept away
Arrived like a savior
He left like a thief
I had warned him
About the disappointment of my people
Arrived like a hero
He started from scratch
I had warned him
About the vultures circling
Bye bye
{to Chorus}
Arrived like a friend
He left as an enemy
I had warned him
About the disappointment of my people
Arrived like a hero
He started from scratch
I had warned him
About the disappointment of my people
Bye bye
{to Chorus}
Allah, you see what happened
It's because of your actions
The wind blows where it wants
You see what you sow
It's because of your actions
He thought he was the smartest
But someone smarter outwitted him
Bye bye
{to Chorus}
He thought he was the most intelligent
But someone more intelligent outsmarted him
He thought he was the strongest of all
But someone stronger defeated him
He thought he was the greatest deceiver
But he met the king of deceivers
Bye bye
{to Chorus}
