Note 133 — Little Dictionary of Creole Proverbs.

Literally the proverb is almost untranslateable. It is cited to those who express needless apprehension of future misfortune. “Mo va gagnin malhé”—(I am going to have trouble.) “Aïe, aïe! chère!—temps present gagnin assez comme ça avec so quonne.” (Ah, my dear! the present has enough trouble of its own.)
