Haiti, mon pays, |
|
wounded mother I'll never see. |
|
Ma famille set me free. |
|
Throw my ashes into the sea. |
|
Mes cousins jamais nes |
|
hantent les nuits de Duvalier. |
|
Rien n'arrete nos espirits. |
|
Guns can't kill what soldiers can't see. |
|
In the forest we are hiding, |
|
unmarked graves where flowers grow. |
|
Hear the soldiers angry yelling, |
|
in the river we will go. |
|
Tous les morts-nes forment une armee, |
|
soon we will reclaim the earth. |
|
All the tears and all the bodies |
|
bring about our second birth. |
|
Haiti, never free, |
|
n'aie pas peur de sonner l'alarme. |
|
Tes enfants sont partis |
