Nou jiferan depi lontan nou depaman
Hmm men jiskaprezan
Nou dep?te nou vwayaje nou egzile
Hmm gade nou
sou tout lat? n gaye n san direksyon
peyi nou
ape trimen nan w vag dezolasyon
pagen p?syon ki pou ba l gerizon
Nou ta vle
tounen yon jou pou n s?vi peyi nou
nou reve
men lespwa nou ap retresi chak jou
kalkilasyon vanse fin f? nou fou
Se vre n travay san chitatann
se sa moun lakay pa konprann
kote n pase n se etranje
nou fatige ak prejije
Nou konnen
nou se yon p?p ki pa p dekouraje
nou s?ten
nan bay lanmen yon jou n a va rive
se s?l maji ki ka f? n delivre
An n ale
jen?s nou se laf?s nou se lespwa
an n lite
an nou montre moun yo nou toujou la
nou se yon p?p ki konnen f? listwa
Si jodi la nou ajenou
se pa vwazen se f?t pa nou
nou vann nanm nou pou plat manje
foli pouvwa f? n divize
[Refren]
Ayiti, sispann krazebrize
pou nou ka vanse
Ayiti, an nou serekole
konsa n a rive
Ban m l? pou m pale menm si l?t fache
dat nou egzile nou pe pa chenbe
lag? se sa n plante ak imoralite
ch? nou plen mechanste
ki sa n te vle rek?lte (la)
[Refren]
Ayiti, sispann krazebrize
pou nou ka vanse
Ayiti, an nou serekole
konsa n a rive
Peyi n fin kraze t?lman n divize
gouv?nman pase anyen pa regle
vire tounen n tonbe nan goumen
n ap viv nan chen-manje-chen
politisyen f? nou f? tenten
Se tout kote n ale nou yo divize
se tout kote n pile nou yo imilye
w a di n pagen peyi
w a di nou san patri
responsab nou yo
genl? n pa w? nou nan dlo
[Refren]
Ayiti, sispann krazebrize
pou nou ka vanse
Ayiti, an nou serekole
konsa n a rive
Di mwen ki kote n prale
si n pa gen linyon
si n pa ke f? wout ansanm
Pou n delivre
ch?che koneksyon
pou nou ka f? wout ansanm
Menm si nou pa dak?
nou ka kreye w ak?
pou nou pa p?di tan
pou nou pouse douvan
2004 rive, t?t nou debraye
nou pa ka mache konsa
f? n chita pou nou pale
f? n chita pou n eksplike
nou pa nan p?di tan
f?k nou pouse douvan
se peyi pa w se peyi pa m ...
[English Translation]
Like wanderers
we’re everywhere
disbanded, dismantled
hmm! hmm! nothing has changed
Crossing oceans
traveling continents
we’re in exile
hmm! hmm!
Look at us
without destination we’re scattered
on the face of the earth
our country
is sinking in the ocean of desolation
no potion can relieve its pain
It’s our desire
to go back some day
to rebuild our country
we dream on
but our hope keeps on shrinking
this pain is killing us softly
We do work unceasingly
but our folks back home don’t get it
where ever we go we are strangers
we’re tired of being discriminated against
We know
we’re a people to never lose hope
we’re certain
unity will get us there some day
that’s the only magic to deliver us
Come on
young souls, we’re the power, the hope
let us fight
to show the world we still have it
we’re a people that made history
If today we’re on our knees
we’re the only ones to blame
we’re selling our souls for food
the lust for power is still dividing us.
[Chorus]
Haiti, stop the genocide
we’ve got to move ahead
Haiti, let’s be united
then we’ll know victory
I need to talk
others will get upset
so long in exile
can’t hold anymore
crime, immorality, war are our seeds
we step over respect and love
what do we expect?
[Chorus]
Haiti, stop the genocide
we’ve got to move ahead
Haiti, let’s be united
then we’ll know victory
Our country is destroyed
we’re so divided
governments come and go
our bad destiny seems untouchable
for nothing we start fighting
like wild savage beasts
politicians keep on deceiving
God, come rescue the Haitian people!
Everywhere we go
we’re humiliated
every road we take
we’re disappointed
it’s like we have no family
it’s like we have no country
our government officials
can’t you see we’re dying!
[Chorus]
Haiti, stop the genocide
we’ve got to move ahead
Haiti, let’s be united
then we’ll know victory
Tell me where we’re heading
if we’re disbanded
if we can’t work side by side
we’ve got to connect
and walk side by side
if we wish to make it.
