Haiti

Haiti



LRC by Young & Stupid



Haiti, mon pays (Haiti, my country)

Wounded mother I'll never see

Ma famille(My family) set me free

Throw my ashes into the sea



Mes cousins jamais nes  (My cousins, never born)

Hantent les nuits de Duvalier (Haunt the nights of Duvalier)

Rien n'arrete nos espirits (Nothing stops our spirits)

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 (All the still-born children form an army)

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 (I'm not afraid to sound alarm)

Tes enfants sont partis (Your children left)

In those days their blood was still warm 



-THE END-
