Haiti,  mon pays
 Wounded mother  I’ll never see
 Ma famille  set me free
 Throw my ashes  into the sea
 x4
 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
