Arcade Fire Haiti song lyrics
Arcade Fire Haiti translation
Haïti, mon pays
Haiti, my country
Wounded mother I'll never see
Wounded mother ill never see
Ma famille set me free
My family set me free
Throw my ashes into the sea
Throw my ashes into the sea


Mes cousins jamais nés
My cousins never born
Hantent les nuits des Duvalier
Haunt the nights of Duvalier
Rien n'arrête nos esprits
Nothing stops our spirits
Guns can't kill what soldiers can't see
Guns can't kill what soldiers can't see


In the forest we are hiding
In the forest we are hiding
Unmarked graves where flowers grow
Unmarked graves where flowers grow
Hear the soldiers angry yelling
Hear the soldiers angry yelling
In the river we will go
I the river we will go


Tous les morts-nés forment une armée
All the undead form an army
Soon we will reclaim the earth
Soon we will reclaim the earth
All the tears and all the bodies
All the tears and all the bodies
Bring about our second birth
Being about our second birth


Haïti, never free
Haiti, never free
N'aie pas peur de sonner l'alarme
Don't have fear of sounding the alarm
Tes enfants sont partis
Your children left
In those days their blood was still warm.
In those days their blood was still warm
