Haiti lyrics

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.
