Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Haïti, mon pays
Wounded mother I'll never see
Ma famille set me free
Throw my ashes into the sea
[Verse 2]
Mes cousins jamais nés
Hantent les nuits des Duvalier
Rien n'arrête nos esprits
Guns can't kill what soldiers can't see
[Verse 3]
In the forest we are hiding
Unmarked graves where flowers grow
Hear the soldiers angry yelling
In the river we will go
[Verse 4]
Tous les morts-nés forment une armée
Soon we will reclaim the Earth
All the tears and all the bodies
Bring about our second birth
[Verse 5]
Haïti, never free
N'aie pas peur de sonner l'alarme
Tes enfants sont partis
In those days their blood was still warm
