MARIWÒZ-O !
(Martiniquese Creole)
Mariwòz-o !
Leve Chimiz !
Mwen mande-ou leve dwè-ou,
Mwen mande-ou leve dwè-ou,
Mwen mande-ou di nouvèl-ou,
Mwen mande-ou kouman ou ye.
Vini wè yo an lawi-a,
Vini wè yo kouman yo ye.
Pa kwiye-mwen Papiyonvèl,
Papiyonvèl se pa non-mwen.
M'a wete vye fanm ankò !

Mary-Rose ô !
Get out of bed! (lit. Take your shirt up)!
I ask you to get up,
I ask you to get up,
I ask you some news,
I ask you how you are.
Come and see them in the street,
Come to see how they are (1)
Don't call me Papiyonvèl,
Papiyonvèl is not my name.
I don't live with an old woman any more!
