Lakay (Live)

Ayiti ala'm kontan wè'w.
Pòtoprens, pou jan m'anvi wè'w.
Ayiti ala'm kontan wè'w.
Haïtiens, mes frères, pou jan m'te anvi wè'n.
Depi ayewopò, mwen santi'm transfòme
Radyo, televizyon, jounalis, tout te vinn rankontre m
Yo soti tout kote pou yo vinn akeyi nou
Mwen te telman sezi, mwen pat menm ka pale
An n chante!
Ala kontan m'kontan aswè a m'nan peyi'm, (Mezanmi!)
Ala kontan m'kontan, aswè a m'avek zanmi'm
Ala kontan m'kontan, aswè a m'avek fanmi'm yo
Ala kontan m'kontan, aswè a m'nan peyi'm.
Sikilasyon bloke sou tout wout Montana
Onzè diswa sonnen, n'ateri Chez Harry's
Nou bwè bon Barbancourt, nou manje bon griyo
O! Mèkredi premye mas, s'on jou m'pap sa bliye
A'nn chante!
Ala kontan m'kontan aswè a m'nan peyi'm, (Mezanmi!)
Ala kontan m'kontan, aswè a m'avek zanmi'm (Wi, se vre)
Ala kontan m'kontan, aswè a m'avek fanmi'm yo
Ala kontan m'kontan, aswè a m'nan peyi'm.
Ayiti cheri, se ou k' ban'm lavi
Menm si mal kite'w, yon jou fòm retounen nan pye'w.
Ayiti cheri, "Perle des Antilles"
Menm si m'al kite'w yon jou fò'm retounen nan pye'w.
Ayiti kinan mwen, Ayiti bèl fanm mwen
Menm si m'al kite'w yon jou fò'm retounen nan pye'w.
Ayiti cheri, se ou k' ban'm lavi
Menm si mal kite'w, yon jou fò'm retounen nan pye'w.
Ayiti cheri, (Ayiti!) se ou-k ban'm lavi (Manman mwen!)
Menm si mal kite'w, yon jou fò'm retounen nan pye'w.
"Perle des Antilles," Ayiti cheri
Menm si m'al kite'w, yon jou fò'm retounen nan pye'w.
Ayiti Toma, mon pays cheri,
Menm si m'nan Nouyòk Siti, yon jou fò'm vinn dodomeya nan pye'w
Ayiti cheri, se ou-k ban'm lavi
Menm si mal kite'w, yon jou fò'm retounen nan pye'w.
Lanèj mèt ap tonbe, fò'm ale travay
Nou bouke!
Li mèt "below zero," m'oblije al ponche
Nou bouke!
Menm si mwen fatige, fò'm al peye "bill" mwen
Nou bouke!
Nou bouke!
Nou bouke manje manje chinwa
Nou bouke!
Nou bouke antre nan tou "subway"
Nou bouke!
Nou bouke bat lè nan faktori
Ayiti cheri, se ou k ban'm lavi
Menm si mal kite'w, yon jou fò'm retounen nan pye'w.

Haiti, my love, I'm happy to see you.
Port-au-Prince, how I longed to see you.
Haiti, my love, I'm happy to see you.
Haitians, my brothers, how I longed to see you.
From the airport, I felt transformed
Radio, television, journalists, all came to meet me
They came from everywhere to welcome us
I was so surprised, I couldn't even speak
Let's sing!
How happy I am tonight to be in my country, (My friends!)
How happy I am tonight to be with my friends
How happy I am tonight to be with my family
How happy I am tonight to be in my country.
Traffic jam on all Montana roads
Eleven o'clock at night, we landed at Chez Harry's
We drank good Barbancourt, we ate good griot
Oh! Wednesday, March 1st, is a day I will never forget
Let's sing!
How happy I am tonight to be in my country, (My friends!)
How happy I am tonight to be with my friends (Yes, it's true)
How happy I am tonight to be with my family
How happy I am tonight to be in my country.
Haiti darling, you are the one who gave me life
Even if bad leaves you, one day you will get back on your feet.
Haiti darling, "Pearl of the Antilles"
Even if I leave you one day, I must return to your feet.
Haiti, my darling, Haiti, my beautiful woman
Even if I leave you one day, I must return to your feet.
Haiti darling, you are the one who gave me life
Even if bad leaves you, one day I must return to your feet.
Haiti darling, (Haiti!) you are the one who gave me life (My mother!)
Even if bad leaves you, one day I must return to your feet.
"Pearl of the Antilles," Haiti darling
Even if I leave you, one day I must return to your feet.
Ayiti Toma, my beloved country,
Even if I'm in New York City, one day I must come and sleep at your feet
Haiti darling, you are the one who gave me life
Even if bad leaves you, one day I must return to your feet.
The snow may be falling, I have to go to work
We're tired!
It may be "below zero," I have to go punch in
We're tired!
Even if I'm tired, I have to go pay my bills
We're tired!
We're tired!
We're tired of eating Chinese food
We're tired!
We're tired of going into every "subway"
We're tired!
We're tired of punching the clock in the factory
Haiti darling, you are the one who gave me life
Even if bad leaves you, one day I must return to your feet.
