NWAYE (Official Video Song Malou Beauvoir)

NWAYE, the 4th single from #Malou Beauvoir's #SPIRITWALKER album, is a cry of revolt and of hope….
“#NWAYE,” is the Creole version of the French verb “to drown” (noyer). It alludes to the fact that “figuratively, we are getting out of our depth, drowning in all the nonsense we are fed," says Malou. “We call on Erzuli [the spirit of love] to give us hope, help us keep a level head and make the right call.” Reacting to the Haitian Assembly’s proposed restrictions on the LGBT community and to other communities ostracized because of physical appearance, religious beliefs, skin color, etc. her lyrics speak out to people around the world, asking us to “look inside ourselves, recognize injustice and have the courage to speak out..”


Chorus
Drowning…we are Drowning (Nwaye nap e Nwaye)
Erzuli, if you see me sinking beneath the surface…. Lift me up
Save the children, save the young people
Help us



Verse
What kind of people try and tell you who to love?
Do they think they are wiser than the gods above who created us?
. . .
Why do we believe their lies
Instead of hearing our brothers’ cries
For dignity, and hope, and love?

But I know it’s not too late
To open up to our fate
Stand up for what’s right

And finally see the light



(Chorus)

Verse 2
How can we close our eyes
to the ignorance and the lies that surround us?
Like the chains that bound us
La pluie tombé, Vent ap soufflé, Cay yo kraze
Nap é Nwayé oh
But I know that we can change and find a better way
Stand up for what’s right,
Oh the time has come to fight…

“NWAYE”


(Chorus)
