Paroles et traduction Luck Mervil - Renmen Ayiti

Renmen Ayiti

Nou bezwen lanmou yo ban nou male
Nou bezwen lapè yo ban nou laguè
Nou bezwen travay yo vle nou mande
Nou bezwen vanse yo met chèn nan pye'n
Nou bezwen respè yo pa prann pou moun
Nou bezwen pale yo met pye sou kou'n
Nou vle liberte yo bann religion
Nou vle tet ansann yo c divisyon

Kombyen timoun pouki pèdi avan ti dlo kule nn je'n
Kombyen ayisyen puk mouri anvann deside leve pye'n
Kombien tire di'n kombyen mò avan chèf tounen sèvitè
Kombien viktim ak kombyen kò avan nu rele sètase

Kombyen ti zang pouki peri anvan nou komprann fos lavi
Kombyen kriye kombyen tanpri anvan pu mizè nou fini
Kombyen vyolans ak san fanmiy avan'n kaba ak malfini
Kombyen chante kombyen pwezi
Avan nou renmen ayiti

Nou bezwen sante yo ban'n kolera
Nou bezwen mang yo ban nu fatra
Nu vle abiye yo ban nu pèpè
Nou bezwen leve yo mete'n atè

Nou vle makònen yo pa wèl konsa
Bezwen wè demen yo tuye lespwa
Nou bezwen zanmi yo fè nou ledmi
Nou bezwen grandi yo vle nou peri

Refren bis
Kombyen timoun pouki pèdi avan ti dlo kule nn je'n
Kombyen ayisyen puk mouri anvann deside leve pye'n
Kombien tire di'n kombyen mò avan chèf tounen sèvitè
Kombien viktim ak kombyen kò avan nu rele sètase

Kombyen ti zang pouki peri anvan nou komprann fos lavi
Kombyen kriye kombyen tanpri anvan pu mizè nou fini
Kombyen vyolans ak san fanmiy avan'n kaba ak malfini
Kombyen chante kombyen pwezi
Avan nou renmen ayiti
Anvan nou renmen ayiti
Li le pou nou renmen ayiti
Mwen vle wè nou renmen ayiti
Ayitiiiii
Kilè nap renmen ayitiiii
Fok nu renmen ayitiii
Li le pou'n renmen ayitiiii

Love Haiti

We need the love you give us evil
We need the peace you give us war
We need the work you want us to ask for
We need to move forward, they put chains on our feet
We need respect, don't take us for fools
We need to talk you put feet on our necks
We want freedom, they ban religion
We want unity, they create division

How many children will we lose before a little water cools our eyes
How many Haitians must die before deciding to stand up
How many shots have been fired, how many dead before the leaders become servants
How many victims and how many corpses before we say enough is enough

How many young people must suffer before we understand the false life
How much crying and how much begging before our misery ends
How much violence and family bloodshed before it ends with a bad ending
How many songs, how many poems
Before we love Haiti

We need health, they give us cholera
We need food, they give us garbage
We want to dress, they give us tattered clothes
We need to rise, they put us on the ground

We want macaroni, they don't see it that way
We need to see tomorrow, they kill hope
We need friends, they make us idiots
We need to grow, they want us to die

Chorus
How many children will we lose before a little water cools our eyes
How many Haitians must die before deciding to stand up
How many shots have been fired, how many dead before the leaders become servants
How many victims and how many corpses before we say enough is enough

How many young people must suffer before we understand the false life
How much crying and how much begging before our misery ends
How much violence and family bloodshed before it ends with a bad ending
How many songs, how many poems
Before we love Haiti
Before we love Haiti
It is time to love Haiti
I want to see us love Haiti
Haiti
When will we love Haiti
We need to love Haiti
It is time to love Haiti

The end
