For all you single ladies, here a folk song to relish your singularity!
Mi nuh haffi worry up mi mine
Mi paggle me own cannu
Mi drink mi rum
Mi smoke mi pipe, an
M cock up mi foot as me like!

"Every bady haffi paggle dem own cannu"
Translation: Everybody has to paddle their own canoe.
What does this mean? This proverb is about taking personal responsibility. Take charge and run your own life!
Application: Yu mean yu waan mi fi look after yu pickney dem? No chile, every bady haffi paggle dem own cannu!
You children are your responsibility, you must take charge and look after your own household. This proverb is also used in situations were a family member or close friend continually borrow money even though they may have employment but does not use their money wisely.
Have a super Sunday!
