🎤 LYRICS

[INTRO]
(Humming)
Oh lé...
Oh lé...
Kayamb i sonne...
La nuit descend...
Le feu i brille...
Frèr...
Nou lé la...
[HOOK]
Frèr kèr...
Marche ek moin
Loin d'vant
Loin d'vant
Frèr kèr...
Main dann la main
Nout chemin
I casse jamais
Frèr kèr...
Nou oubli pa...
[VERSE 1]
Sous l'pied bois tamarin
Nou chantait zanfan
Nout pieds dann la poussière
Nout rire dann l'vent
Y avait pa grand-chose
Mé nout kèr té riche
In roulèr té bat
Pou faire dansé la vie
Kan soleil tombait
L'océan brillait
La lune regardait
Nout promesses d'hier
[PRE-HOOK]
Même si l'temps
I emmène à nous loin
Dann mon kèr
Ou reste mon chemin
[HOOK]
Frèr kèr...
Marche ek moin
Loin d'vant
Loin d'vant
Frèr kèr...
Main dann la main
Nout chemin
I casse jamais
[VERSE 2]
Certains sont partis
Loin d'la Réunion
Pou cherche in demain
Sous d'autres horizons
Mé chaque retour
Lé comme avant
In sourire suffit
Pou arrêter l'temps
Le kayamb répond
Le roulèr raconte
Le pikèr fé battre
Nout mémoire vivante
[BRIDGE]
Oh...
Yééé...
Frèr...
Yééé...
Nou chante...
Nou avance...
Nou partage...
[FINAL HOOK]
Frèr kèr...
Marche ek moin
Même demain
Même toujours
Frèr kèr...
Sous ciel létoilé
Nou va garde
Nout l'amitié
Frèr kèr...
Pou toujours...
