 Michael,

Like I wrote previously, "Kouche" doesn't mean "to lie down" at a certain
point
of understanding in Vodoun. As you translated the song, it really has no
meaning. Do you think that Vodoun adepts would have faithfully kept
singing
something that has no meaning for many generations?

Every word of that song has its own meaning. "hounsi doba", "dlo nan je"
also
have to be understood. Our oral tradition is our bible but Vodoun is an
initiatic religion and it takes time for any initiate to understand.

I was just trying to give a hint to Demare, I am not about to spell it
out to any  outsider (no matter how well intentioned), sorry.

My best to you.

Bb PL
