nou pran li kou l ye Men bon Dye si bon la ban nou benediksyon Lè w ou lan peyi blan ou pè pwomennen nuit tankou jou Tout moun pè mache prese prese wa di se chen fou Kote yo prale pouki y ap kouri konsa? Yo pè pèdi tan yo pa janm di: kouman sa? Lan peyi mwen moun pa rete avèk lè Genyen libète ou gen tan pou pran frechè Kote ou pase se bonjou se bay lan men Moun pa janm prese yo koze tout lon chemen Lè w an Ayiti ou pa janm manke tan pou soufle Sak pa fèt jodi ou k ap fè li demen si ou vle Kan demen rive ke l bon ou kel pa bon Sa pa fè anyen tout moun konn di bon dye bon. An Ayiti moun pa janm dezespere Nou gen la fwa lan yon Dye ki pa janm manti N ap fè jodi kan demen pa asire A la bon peyi o mon Dye, se Ayiti! Haiti Chérie translates to(translation corrected by @growninhaiti): Haiti, my beloved, no other land is more beautiful than you. I had to leave you, in order to better understand how valuable you are I had to leave you, for me to appreciate you So I could truly feel all that you were for me There is sunshine, nice rivers and great drinks Underneath the trees, you'll always find great shade Where you'll find a gentle breeze to keep you cool Haiti, is a country dear to me In the white man's land, you're freezing and it's never good And all day, you're forced to burn coal You can't see clearly because the sky is always dark And for 6 months, all trees are without leaves In my country, there is sunshine to provide heat All year long, the trees continue to provide shade A soft breeze always blowing on our beaches Haiti, is a country dear to me Once in the white man's country, all faces are one color There is no variety such as our different shades of Kreyòl (Milatrès, Marabou, and Grifonn) That love beautiful dresses, powders and fine scents Nor black beauties that know the sweetest things to say In my country, when all of these beautiful people leave church, it's like going to the movies you have to see this, you would remain wide mouthed and open eyed
