Lyrics (Mauritian creole) 🇲🇺
Verse 1
Mo lev mo latet, get lesiel lao,
Mo trouv de tizoli zwazo.
Lezel ape anvole,
Zot napa pe trakase
Ki zot pou manze dime.
Verse 2
Mo bes mo latet, get later anba,
Mo trouv enn fler ape pous la.
Li pa lager ek so vwazin,
Trankil, tras so semin.
Nou osi, anou kree nou destin… destin!
Chorus
Kriye… nou sante, viv nou lavi, leker dan lazwa.
Vire… nou danse, viv nou lavi, les nou amize.
Verse 3
Mo lev mo lame, dir Bondie mersi,
Lin donn mwa enn lavi beni.
Manze, bwar, mo amize,
Me mo pa pou abize.
Avan tou, mo get mo lasante.
Verse 4
Mo tap mo lame, mo lev mo lavwa,
Mo sante, danse sa sega-la.

Minn mo lavi, mo pa les personn… personn!
Bridge
Tan ki nou leker ankor bate
Tan ki soley kontign leve,
Nou gard nou an bonn sante
Kan nou fer fas difikilte,

Pena nanye pa kapav sirmonte.
Dan tou fet… Viv nou lavi
Dan sikse… Viv nou lavi
Dan maler… Viv nou lavi
Dan boner… Viv nou lavi
Dan problem… Viv nou lavi
Dan lapenn… Viv nou lavi
Ar sourir… Viv nou lavi
Avek ferver… Viv nou lavi
Dan respe… Viv nou lavi
Dan lape… Viv nou lavi
Avek pasians… Viv nou lavi
Perseverans… Viv nou lavi

VERSE 1
Chaque matin, je me réveille dans la joie
Un nouveau jour se dresse pour moi
Savourant dans mon coeur
Chaque instant, chaque douceur,
L’énergie m’envahit
La vie me sourit
VERSE 2
Happiness follows me throughout the day
At every step, it lights my way
Should I run, should I fall
I can weather it all
It makes me see clearly
The beauty around me
CHORUS:
Thank you, thank you for my life
Merci pour tout ce que je suis
For the joy, even the strife
Les hauts, les bas m’ont tous appris
Et je me sens si happy, happy, happy
I’ll forever say merci, merci, merci
Et je me sens si happy, happy, happy
I’ll forever say merci, merci, merci
Merci à la vie!
VERSE 3
Je fais le choix d’être positif même dans le noir
Je n’ai pas peur, je garde l’espoir
Je m’efforce d’apprécier
Toutes ces merveilles que j’ai
En étant reconnaissant,
Eoula couman capav napa content?
VERSE 4
I’m grateful for my family and my friends
Their love is strong, it never ends
It’s the rainbow in my sky
That money can’t buy
This drive makes me strive,
I feel alive and I thrive
BRIDGE
Anou santer, anou santer [Kids: Nou santer]
Anou danser, anou danser [Kids: Nou danser]
Anou tourner, anou tourner [Kids: Nou tourner]
Anou crier, anou crier [Kids: Yay…]
Pena pli gran la zwa
Ki kan to ouver to lebra
Pou aide to kamarad
Pa get zis seki pou twa
Seki to ena
Partaz ek seki pena
Anou viv koumsa
Lor sa la ter la
Fer lezot happy
Mo garanti
To pou beni
