Paroles et traduction Stevy Mahy feat. James Germain - Haïti chérie

Haïti chérie

On lanmin ka lavé lot'
Kon dlo soti nan roch
Sé vou é mwen
Konté si mwen, konté si mwen

Mwen vinn sézi san pawol
Souf coupé, kè mwen fann
Pozé ti bwin, pozé si mwen

An ka tann yo palé
Yo di ou mérité
Ou pa té dwèt lévé
Ou pa té dwèt lité mé
Sé fiewté ou gannyé
Pa lésé yo blésé'w, pa lésé yo blésé'w

Nou sé on sél pèp désann
An ba kal a machann
Vou épi mwen
Sé mem bitin, sé mem bitin
Ni sa ka fè plin dézod
Pou nou pa viv ansanm
Mé vou é mwen
Sé yonn é lot, sé yonn an lot

Mé lè tout' bitin brilé
Fo nonm finn kalkilé
Fo yo apprann pézé
Sa i bon, sa i mové
Mé tè a libewté
Ja pran tan résilié
Ja pran tan espéré

Ref
Haiti Chérie la vi pa fini
Haiti Chérie chanjman ka vini
Haiti Chérie la vi pa fini
Haiti Chérie kontinyé souri

Si lanmou ka wouvè pot'
Sé klé mwen ka ba zot
Woté si mwen pou pran ti bwin
Jacmel, thomassin, kenscoff lanmou ka monté mon'
Pou sa ki pré, pou sa ki lwen
An sav tèt k chajé
Ké kè ka fatigué
Timoun sa yo pléré
Chimin la ka pézé
Mé kontinyé maché
Mi jou la ka lévé
Mi soleil ja monté

Haiti, My Love

My tears are washing your pain away
Like water flowing from a rock
It's you and me
Count on me, count on me

I'm left speechless with wonder
My breath caught, my heart torn
Rest your head, rest on me

They're waiting for them to speak
They say you deserve it
You shouldn't have risen
You shouldn't have fought, but
It's your pride that you've earned
Don't let them hurt you, don't let them hurt you

We are one people descended
We are the backbone of the merchants
You and me
The same thing, the same thing
Nothing can cause such chaos
So that we don't live together
But you and me
We're one in the other, we're one in the other

But when everything burns
Men must have calculated
They must learn to weigh
What's good, what's bad
But the land of freedom
Has taken its time to recover
Has taken its time to hope

Ref
Haiti, My Love, life isn't over
Haiti, My Love, change is coming
Haiti, My Love, life isn't over
Haiti, My Love, keep on smiling

If love opens the door
It's the key I give you
Take me for a walk
Jacmel, Thomassin, Kenscoff, love is rising
For those who are close, for those who are far
We know what's on our mind
Our hearts are tired
These children cry
The road is heavy
But keep walking
The day is rising
The sun has already risen

Avocado seed for the birds
Under the thatched roof
Tonight I won't sleep
