Ayiti se

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.
