Me que, me que

The ship is docked
There are lots of packages
Packages placed on the dock
In a small bar
In a Martinique port
A girl so beautiful you could eat her

Crying in the arms of a colored boy
Because he's leaving, breaking her heart
She, with a sob, handing him her ticket
Says: 'Darling, I'm going to miss you!'

Me que, me que, what the hell is this?
Just an everyday story
Me que, me que, what the hell is this?
Maybe the end of a love

The siren blared
Interrupting their delicate goodbyes
But suddenly everything got complicated
The girl masked
For a moment her troubles
Yet her courage failed

She said: 'I'm scared, you can't leave
You see, my heart, without you I'll die!'
The boy explained that he had to
Leave anyway, that's why he boarded

Me que, me que, what the hell is this?
Just an everyday story
Me que, me que, what the hell is this?
Maybe the end of a love

The packages loaded
The boat towed
Slowly left the dock
Don't be shocked
Don't mock
What I'm about to explain

Looking at his love on the shore,
Filled with remorse, he dove into the sea
Faced with this risky move caused by love
The sharks were left dumbfounded

Me que, me que, what the hell is this?
Just an everyday story
Me que, me que, what the hell is this?
It's the dawn of a new day
That is meant to last forever
Because love comes to find
Love...
