Haïti

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

In those days their blood was still warm
