Tòti pa ni dan laten di mwen ki sa i ké manjé,
Tòti pa ni dan laten di mwen ki sa i ké manjé.

Woy woy woy ou a dimwen ki sa i ké manjé,
Woy woy woy ou a dimwen ki sa i ké manjé.
English Translation - The Tortoise Doesn't Have Teeth
The tortoise doesn’t have teeth, tell me how it is that he eats,
The tortoise doesn’t have teeth, tell me how it is that he eats.
(repeat)
Oh, oh, oh, you will tell me how it is that he eats,
Oh, oh, oh, you will tell me how it is that he eats.
