Lyrics and translation Orlane - Gonaives




Gonaives
Gonaives
E mové van ale solèy nou vire
When the evil wind blows our sun turns away
La rose di matin retounen
But the morning dew will come again
Pou bondie te gade'm fom ta rale de pie'l
Lord, you looked at me from above and lifted me from the dirt
Depi jou'm relel li fini pa tande'm
I called out to you but you didn't hear
Pitit' nou byen grandi fò'l rete o peyi
My children are grown but they must stay in our homeland
Si tèt mon' mwen fléri si woch tounen mayi sim rache tout fatra m'domi nan bèl dra
If my thoughts are pure and if the rocks turn to corn, then I will clear away all the trash and sleep in beautiful sheets
Sim mange tou jou
I will eat my fill every day
M'gen plas pou lanmou
I have a place for love
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Haïti pa mouri
Haiti will not die
Payi'm pa fini
My country is not finished yet
Sim kraze licifè ki te mèt lan mizè
I will destroy the devil who has brought us misery
Dechouke explwatè yo pran chimen lanfè
I will cast down the exploiters to hell
Si la vi fèm kredi m'pa mache tou ni
If life is hard, I will not give up
Pa bezwen pran bato pou neye kon krapo
I don't need to take a boat to drown like a frog
E move van ale lespwa rivire
When the evil wind blows away hope will return
I nou rasanble pou nou rekonsilye
We must come together and reconcile
Libète gen yon pri nou paye san kredi
Freedom has a price that we must pay in full
Tout timoun yo pwal ri nmizè yo fini
Our children will laugh when their misery is over
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Haïti pa mouri
Haiti will not die
Paï'm pa fini
My country is not finished yet
Tout' ti moun yo pwal ri
All the children will laugh
The rainy days are gone now the sun is shining
The rainy days are gone now the sun is shining
Together we can chase all the bad time away
Together we can chase all the bad time away
The children will be smiling their misery's ending
The children will be smiling their misery's ending
United we won't fall Love always conquers all
United we won't fall Love always conquers all
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
My country will survive
My country will survive
Darkness is gone
Darkness is gone
