Pitit pitit nou ap grandi
Kontra sa se pou la vie
Be nice to me be good to me
It's my first time
In Carimi's song "My First Time," the singer urges the person they are speaking to, to be nice and good to them since it's their first time experiencing something. They repeat this plea throughout the song, stressing the importance of being gentle and kind to them. The lyrics are in Creole, which is a language spoken in Haiti.
The verses tell a story of two people who have a secret to keep and don't want anyone to know what they're doing. They continue doing what they want regardless of what others may say, and they hope that they won't be caught. The raconteurs nearby know what they're doing, but they don't want to spoil their secret. The chorus of the song follows that their 'first time' means a lot to them and that they want to be together 'for life.'
Be nice to me be good to me
I am inexperienced and vulnerable, so please be kind and treat me well
It's my first time
This is my first experience of this kind, so I don't know what to expect
Be nice to me be good to me
I am nervous and anxious, so please show me care and tenderness
It's my first night
This is my first time spending a night like this, and I am scared but excited
Secrets between the two of us

Let's do what we want

Hold your little mouth
Please be quiet and keep our activities a secret

Watch over me
Please look after me and be responsible for me during this new experience
