Paroles et traduction Kassav' - Ba yo lanmen

Ba yo lanmen

Fo pa janmen oubliyé
Sé pas' Désaline ay goumé
Jòdila nou pé touvé
Ti bwen dignité, solidarité
Ki moun ki ka désidé
Voyé frè an nou alé
Lè i vin' isidan chèché
Ti bwen dignité, solidarité
Ba yo lanmen, ba yo lanmen, an bèl lan men
Gran péyi toujou pijé
Piti péyi maléré
Pitit a yo san papyé
Bizwen dignité, solidarité
Lalwa pa toujou séryé
Lè i ka jijé maléré
Davwa i pa vlé gadé
Sa ki dignité, solidarité
Ba yo lanmen, ba yo lanmen, an bèl lan men
Fo pa janmen oubliyé
Sé pas' Désaline ay goumé
Jòdila nou pé touvé
Ti bwen dignité, solidarité
Gran nèg an nou ki lité
Lésé chimen ki kléré
Jòdi jou nou ka rélé
Ba yo lanmen, ba yo bèl lanmen
Ba yo lanmen, ba yo lanmen, an bèl lan men
Ba yo lanmen, ba yo lanmen, an bèl lan men

Give Them a Hand

We must never forget
It's where Dessalines took a stand
Today, we can still find
A little bit of dignity, solidarity
Who has the right to decide
To send our brothers away
When incidents arise, seek
A little bit of dignity, solidarity
Give them a hand, give them a hand, a beautiful hand
Great countries always plunder
Small countries suffer
Their children without papers
Need dignity, solidarity
The law is not always fair
When it judges the unfortunate
Indeed, it doesn't want to see
What dignity and solidarity are
Give them a hand, give them a hand, a beautiful hand
We must never forget
It's where Dessalines took a stand
Today, we can still find
A little bit of dignity, solidarity
Our great men who fought
Left a path that's illuminated
Today we call out
Give them a hand, give them a beautiful hand
Give them a hand, give them a hand, a beautiful hand
Give them a hand, give them a hand, a beautiful hand
