Trad. lyrics in Haitian creole, Swedish lyrics, ”Zaka, ta emot mig” by Sten Källman, and English lyrics, ”Won’t you catch me” by Patrick Rydman. Rhythm score included.

I come from the plain below on my way up the hill.
Kouzen, I ask for just a drop of water.
Look, take the mug!

”Kouzen means cousin and farmer, but it is also the voudou patron of the farmers.” – Sten Källman
