Haitimon pays
wounded mother I'll never see.
Ma famille set me free.
Throw my ashes into the sea.

Mes cousins jamais nes
hantent les nuits de Duvalier.
Rien n'arrete nos espirits.
Guns can't kill what soldiers can't see.

In the forest we are hiding
unmarked graves where flowers grow.
Hear the soldiers angry yelling
in the river we will go.

Tous les morts-nes forment une armee
soon we will reclaim the earth.
All the tears and all the bodies
bring about our second birth.

Haitinever free
n'aie pas peur de sonner l'alarme.
Tes enfants sont partis
in those days their blood was still warm.
