Mé Qué, Mé Qué

The ship is at the dock
There are tons of packages
Packages laid out on the dock... there
In a little bar
At a port in Martinique
A girl so cute you could eat her... there
Cries in the arms
Of a colored boy
'Cause he’s leaving
And it breaks her heart
She, with a sob
Tells him: "Honey, I’m gonna miss you"

What’s up, what’s up
What’s going on?
It’s just an everyday story
What’s up, what’s up
What’s going on?
Maybe the end of a love
The siren rushed
Their delicate goodbyes
But suddenly everything got complicated... ah!
The girl masked
For a moment her worries
Yet her courage failed... there
She said: "I’m scared
You can’t leave
You see my heart
Without you, I’m gonna die"
The boy explained
That he had to go anyway
So he left and boarded

What’s up, what’s up
What’s going on?
It’s just an everyday story
What’s up, what’s up
What’s going on?
Maybe the end of a love

The packages loaded
The boat towed away
Slowly left the dock... there
Don’t be shocked
Don’t go making fun
Of what I’m about to explain... there
Looking at the port
His beautiful love on land
Overcome with remorse
He dove into the sea
In front of this risky move
Provoked by love
The sharks were left stunned

What’s up, what’s up
What’s going on?
It’s just an everyday story
What’s up, what’s up
What’s going on?
It’s the dawn of a new day
That’s meant to last forever
'Cause love comes to find love.
