[Verse 1: Regine Chassagne] Haïti, mon pays Wounded mother I’ll never see Ma famille set me free Throw my ashes into the sea [Verse 2: Regine Chassagne] Mes cousins, jamais nés Hantent les nuits de Duvalier Rien n'arrete nos esprits Guns can’t kill what soldiers can’t see [Verse 3: Regine Chassagne] In the forest we are hiding Unmarked graves where flowers grow Hear the soldiers angry yelling In the river we will go [Verse 4: Regine Chassagne] 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: Will Butler] Haïti, never free N'aie pas peur de sonner l'alarme Tes enfants sont partis In those days their blood was still warm
