Vous pouvez, bien entendu, choisir une phrase en français qui sonne mieux, mais il me semblait important de vous donner du mot à mot. D'ailleurs, suivant votre contexte, vous pourrez peut-être la laisser, en expliquant le sens. Après tout,"dem ting dey" est une locution bien connue des amateurs de reggae.
