Ayiti se
Ayiti se bèl lanmè se bèl montay ak bèl rivyè
Se bèl plaj ak pye kokoye bèl peyizaj ak bèl koulè
Ayiti se sant kafe kap monte nan nen m’ le maten
Se sant lawouze ki fèk poze pou flè dizè ka boujonnen
Ayiti se Basen Ble Kaskad Pichon avèk Sodo
Se Akaden La Sitadèl se Labadi ak Marigo
Ayiti se Lavale se Pòsali ak Zabriko
Se Mòn Lasèl Pik Makaya se Mamlad ak Mòn Pilbowo
Ayiti se yon dous makòs se yon ponyen pistach griye
S’on ji kole ki pou banm fòs s’on boutèy kola ki byen glase
Ayiti s’on bon griyo s’on bon fritay on bon taso
S’on bon legim avèk sirik s’on bon diri avek lalo
Ayiti s’on bon bouyon s’on soup joumou a tout piman
S’on bon kasav avèk manba
Ke ou tranpe nan akasan
Ayiti s’on bon donmbwèy kap marinen nan yon bon sòs pwa
S’on bwakochon on bon kleren Ayiti s’on bon kafe diswa
Ayiti cheri pou jan mwen renmen w
Mwen vin depoze ti kè mwen nan men w
Ayiti cheri pou jan m’adore w
Pa gen anyen kap janm fè mwen kite w
Ayiti cheri pou jan mwen renmen w
Mwen vin depoze ti kè mwen nan men w
Ayiti cheri pou jan m’adore w
Pa gen anyen kap janm fè mwen kite w
Ayiti s’on bèl mizik se yon bann a pye s’on twoubadou
S’on son kata seremoni, se yon son kwachi yon son tanbou
Ayiti se tè Ogou, se tè zansèt kite pou nou
Se la lesklavaj t’aboli se yon tè libète ak vodou
Ayiti se festival se tisourit se fèt chanpèt
S’animasyon nan Kanaval se yon ti zile k’ pa janm frèt
Ayiti s’on domino se yon bezig se yon twasèt
S’on reveyon kote ki gen bouyon se la k’ gen kenbe tèt
Ayiti se yon konbit peyizan kap sèkle latè
Se ti machann yo kap desann
Pou y’al goumen ak lavi chè
Ayiti se timoun yo k’ap reve de yon bèl avni
Se dlo rigòl la kap desann pa konn kote l pra-l ateri
Ayiti se anba tant lan depi apre 12 janvye
Se labou k’ lev’ on move sant chak lè on ti lapli fin tonbe
Ayiti se sou beton’an pou konn “la vrai” reyalite
Se youn ki tris men grasadye se pa li sèlman n’ ka chante
Ayiti cheri pou jan mwen renmen w
Mwen vin depoze ti kè mwen nan men w
Ayiti cheri pou jan m'adore w
Pa gen anyen kap janm fè mwen kite w
Ayiti cheri pou jan mwen renmen w
Mwen vin depoze ti kè mwen nan men w
Ayiti cheri pou jan m'adore w
Pa gen anyen kap janm fè mwen kite w
Ayiti se yon manman ki konn sa yo rele doulè
On fanm ki djanm on fanm vanyan menm si l’konnen li pa pafè
Ayiti se yon bèl fanm ki menmsi l pase anpil mizè
Li toujou f’on jan l ranje kò l pou tout pitit li toujou fyè
Ayiti se tout bagay sa a yo ki fè ke nou renmen w
E menm si wout la long konnen n’ap toujou la pou n kenbe men w
Ayiti cheri w mèt kwè m
Pa gen anyen k’ap fè m’kite-w
Map toujou la pou ou cheri
Kite mizik sa a dòlote-w
Haiti Is
Haiti is a beautiful sea, beautiful mountains, and beautiful rivers
It's beautiful beaches with coconut trees, stunning landscapes, and vibrant colors
Haiti is the scent of coffee that wakes me up in the morning
It's the fresh dew that settles so flowers can bloom
Haiti is the Blue Basin, Pichon Falls, and Sodo
It's the Citadel, Labadee, and Marigo
Haiti is Lavale, Pòsali, and Zabriko
It's Mount La Selle, Pic Macaya, Mamlad, and Mount Pilbowo
Haiti is a sweet makòs, a handful of roasted pistachios
A juice that gives me strength, a cold bottle of cola
Haiti is good griyo, tasty fritay, and good taso
Good vegetables with okra, good rice with lalo
Haiti is a good bouyon, pumpkin soup with all the spice
Good cassava with peanut butter
That you dip in akasan
Haiti is a good donmbwèy simmering in a nice bean sauce
A good pork dish, a good kleren, Haiti is good coffee at night
Haiti, my love, for how I adore you
I’ve placed my little heart in your hands
Haiti, my love, for how I cherish you
Nothing will ever make me leave you
Haiti, my love, for how I adore you
I’ve placed my little heart in your hands
Haiti, my love, for how I cherish you
Nothing will ever make me leave you
Haiti is beautiful music, a band on the ground, a troubadour
It's the sound of a ceremony, a kwachi sound, a drumbeat
Haiti is the land of Ogou, the land of our ancestors left for us
Where slavery was abolished, a land of freedom and voodoo
Haiti is festivals, it's the little mouse, it's the champèt celebration
The excitement of Carnival, it's a little island that never gets cold
Haiti is dominoes, it's a busy place, it's a gathering
A reunion where there's bouyon, it's where we hold our heads high
Haiti is a peasant's collective working the land
It's the little vendors going down
To fight against the high cost of living
Haiti is the children dreaming of a bright future
It's the water from the gutter flowing, not knowing where it will land
Haiti is under the tent since January 12th
It's the mud that rises, a bad smell every time it rains
Haiti is on the concrete to know the "real" reality
It's one that's sad, but thank God, it's not the only song we can sing
Haiti, my love, for how I adore you
I’ve placed my little heart in your hands
Haiti, my love, for how I cherish you
Nothing will ever make me leave you
Haiti, my love, for how I adore you
I’ve placed my little heart in your hands
Haiti, my love, for how I cherish you
Nothing will ever make me leave you
Haiti is a mother who knows what pain is
A strong woman, a brave woman, even if she knows she’s not perfect
Haiti is a beautiful woman who, despite all the struggles
Always finds a way to stand tall, proud for all her children
Haiti is all these things that make us love you
And even if the road is long, know we’ll always be there to hold your hand
Haiti, my love, you can believe me
Nothing will make me leave you
I’ll always be here for you, darling
Let this music comfort you.
