Em G         Em
Haiti, mon pays
        G                 Em         
Wounded mother I’ll never see
     G            Em
Ma famille set me free
         G                Em          
Throw my ashes into the sea

G  Em  (4x)

       G           Em
Mes cousins jamais nes
Hantent les nuits de Duvalier
Rien n’arrete nos espirits
Guns can’t kill what soldiers can’t see

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

G  Em

         G                     Em       
Tous les morts-nes forment une armee
Soon we will reclaim the earth
All the tears and all the bodies
Bring about our second birth

   G         Em
Haiti, never free
n’aie pas peur de sonner l’alarme
Tes enfants sont partis
In those days their blood was still warm
