Ala w' pa fonw ide?
M renmen fanm ak po koulè kafe
Pa kafe melange
Kafe ki soti nan mòn kiskeya byen pile

Ou konnen, fanm ak leèv pwès ki gen kote pou m' souse
Ayayay, fanm byen kanpe 
Ki gen bel fom, dèyè mate
Ak bel tete byen kanpe

Fanm ki pap kouri antre leu soley leve
Ou konnen, pou pol pa brile
Fanm ak cheve krepi ki ka trese
Jansiv vyolèt, dan blan, bel souri trou bote

Fanm ki konn sal vle
Ki pap just kitew paske lajan w bese
Dayè li pa pè bese leve
E li forme, byen edike

M bezwen yon bel neges Gine
Yon fanm ki pa nan wanga men kap fem kole.
Zanmi m di m toujou ap reve
Men m konnen depi Jean chache, Jean ap trouve.

Cheve kafe
Po chokolate
Souri'l fem reve
Bouch li byen roze
kou yon frez sukre
M paka tann pou'm fe yon goute

Leul ap mache
Hanch li ap balanse
Gason vle gade
Ko dezire
Fe ap imajine
Jan sa ye le lalinn klere

Fo m' mennen l' Gelee
Pou van ap vante
Pandan cheve l' lage
Pou'm gade l' nan je
Ba l' yon beze
Pandan soley ap kouche

M pap janm kite l'
M pap fe l' kriye
Bote chokolate
Ak li m vle marye
Pou n' gen yon bebe
avek de bel trou bote.

Je m’en souviens
Du jour, que nul ne peut me faire oublier
Quand tu m’avais dit, "Perri, on peut s’aimer"
Mais Je m’en souviens
 
Je ne sais si c’est parce que le destin l'avait décidé
Ou parce que c’était le 14 mai
Mais je m’en souviens


Je ne sais si c’est parce que ce jour avait tout changé
Du coin de l'oeil je te regardais danser
Mais je m’en souviens

Je ne sais pas si c’est parce que je ne pouvais pas m’empêcher
Dans les yeux de te regarder
Mais je m’en souviens

De lumineux éclairs, le ciel strié,
Et moi, ma belle, d'admirer
Mais je m’en souviens

Vingt ans après sur cette terre, mon rêve était devenu réalité,
D'un coup, je sentais mon Coeur palpité
Mais je m’en souviens

Comment, déjà,  j’imaginais le reste de ma vie à tes cotés
Amoureusement, je t’avais déjà accepté
Mais je m’en souviens

Comment cette nuit, mes yeux ne pouvaient pas fermer,
Ton nom, j’ecrivais sur des feuilles de papier
Mais je m’en souviens

Des beaux moments passés
Franchement, de toi, j’étais obsédé
Mais je m’en souviens
 
 Je m’en souviens
De la fille qui m’avait fait tant pleurer
Quand elle m’avait dit dit, "Perri, on doit tout cesser"
Mais je m’en souviens

Ouh, m bouke pase fi chak semaine chak mwa
M bezwen yon fanm pou’m fe konfyans em konnen ki pap fem Kriye kou Kayla
M pa gen problem si non’l se Katia, Marla oubyen Tia
M pa diskrimine men m ta preferel soti Haiti Kiskeya
Ou konnen yon bel ti nwa
Ki anfom, ki konn danse konpa
Paske m renmen al nan T-vice, Amicus ak Tropicana

Oh oui yon bel ti nwa men fol briye ato le swa
Pou’w senp regar li k mete’m sou sa
Pou souri ‘l fem delala
Fo’l gen yon bel ti vwa
Pou’l k soulem tankou yon neg ki anba tafya 
Fo’l gen yon po swa, depi’l touchem pou’l fem gaga
Pou ti bouch li sukre kou yon kan anana
Fol gentiy, saj romantik afektyez poze kou yon ma

Leu fanm sa ap mache se pou tout moun di Ou lala
Byenke Se pa yon fanm ou pral kwaze sou trotwa
Men leu yon neg resi wel pou yo di alon’w Pepito sa Papa
Epi pou’m pale de li otan ke ‘m pale de manmie, Yvenande, Sagine ou Nausica
M pral panse a li maten midi e swa
Reve li chak fwa m monte matla
Fanm nan pa oblije Eistein men fol konn twa fwa twa

Oh oui fanm sa ra
M pa konn sil Hipanyola, USA ou Canada
Ni si se Bondieu pou’ m rele ou Ezili Dambala
Men leum genyenl, li pral mon alfa e omega
Pou’l totalman a mwa
Bon m pa bezwen pale met la
Menm konnen romantic pase’m pa gen sa
M’ap konn tout sak pou’l fel kontan de Z a A

Pou’n fe yon sel tankou branch nan yon pye bwa
Pou’m avel leum pral amazura
Kou leu’m pral nan Osca
Leu’m nan avenue Cartagena
Kou leu’m sou Hollywood Boulva
POu nou ansanm a chak pa

Fok nou damou tankou nou tap viv de sa
Pou’m bliye sim tak Nene, JJ ou Vava
Pou’m pa imajine’m ak yon lot fanm sou planet la
Pou’n ta marye epi rete jouk sa kaba
Fe bel timoun ak twou bote nan machwa
Oui pitit janw tande a se konsa
Yon bel ti fanm nwa ki ra
Alor se pouw dim’ siw se yon fanm konsa?

I SWORE

I swore never to write to you anymore

But the volcano awoke encore

Words are easier to say

When they’re in your thoughts everyday.


I swore, but I was lying

About you, to stop thinking

But I never stopped writing

The same melody that I sing.


I swore to just forget

Move on with no regrets

But the feelings never fade away

Spread love it’s a Brooklyn way.


I swore and then here

It's always the same old story

But I am still talking about Nini

Yes, she is part of me.


Oh! I swore never to write

Another poem about you right?

But either you say what’s on  your mind

Or let it destroy you inside.


I swore in my hallucination

You were an old narration

But everyday seems like a déjà vu

Everything reminds me of you.

All this to tell you that I love you.

Trying to recover from an addiction is difficult. Finding true love at the same time is a challenge! "Addiction" is a new short film about a young man who has to choose between finding the love of his life or battling his addictions to alcohol and drugs. The film stars director, producer and actor Perri Pierre (“J-12” and “Three of One Kind”). Pierre wrote, directed and produced the former. He earned a Bachelors degree in Arts in Drama and Theatre from CUNY Queens College. The film also stars Vicky Jeudy. She has been passionate about acting from a young age. Having studied with acting coach Anthony Abeson, she has worked in several independent films in New York City and Atlanta. She graduated SUNY New Paltz with a Bachelors degree in Drama and Theatre. “Addiction” is directed by Jabari Clarke-Pennegan. Pennegan knew he wanted to be an actor after playing Julius Caesar when he was only 15 years old. He then expanded his talents by not only working in front of the camera, but behind it as well as a director. His first job as director was for a short video tribute to Haiti titled, “The Press Concert.” Isabelle Parzygnat is the costume and production designer. In addition to previously working with Perri Pierre in both “J-12” and “Three of One Kind,” she has also designed for other films, theater and dance shows. She, too, is a Queens College student and has earned the John Darren Scholarship in Technical Design for two years. As of May 2012, she is working on her double Bachelors in Film Studies and Media and Communications.

Filming begins January 2013 in New York City. Advertisements for the film will be featured in the Daily News and magazines.
