| Se nan solèy la mwen benyen
| I bathed in the sun
|
| Lè mwen leve lè maten
| When I get up in the morning
|
| Nan lawouze m badijonnen
| In the dew I slime
|
| Mwen fyè ke m se Ayisyen
| I am proud to be Haitian
|
| Rasin mwen plante an Afrik
| My roots are planted in Africa
|
| Yo te mennen ladan kou tibourik
| They were stabbed
|
| Men zansèt mwen te lite
| But my ancestors struggled
|
| Pou banm libète ak fyète
| To give me freedom and pride
|
| Frè m ak sè m pinga n reziye n
| My brothers and sisters should not give up
|
| An nou chèche konn kisa k bloke n
| Let's find out what is blocking us
|
| Se vre chenn lan te soti nan pye n
| It is true that the chain came from our feet
|
| Men nou toujou esklav nan panse n
| But we are still slaves to our thinking
|
| Pran almanak ann chèch'on dat
| Take the calendar and look for the date
|
| Nou bezwen yon lòt milwisankat
| We need another 149
|
| Zansèt nou yo te fè li deja
| Our forefathers did it already
|
| Li nesesè pou n refè l jodi a!
| We need to do it again today!
|
| Yo kolonize n plizyè fwa
| They colonized it several times
|
| Sou yo nou toujou jwenn viktwa
| On them we always get victory
|
| Nou se yon pèp ki gen listwa
| We are a people with history
|
| Nou se yon pakèt grenn ak bwa
| We are a bunch of grain and wood
|
| Lè pitit mwen mande m papa
| When my son asked me for a father
|
| Kiyès mwen ye? | Who am i |
| Mwen gade li nan je
| I looked her in the eye
|
| Ak ponyet mwen konsantre
| With my wrists focused
|
| Mwen di l, «Cherie se Ayisyen w ye!»
| I said, "Cherie, you're Haitian!"
|
| Frè m ak sè m pinga n reziye n!
| Brothers and sisters, don't give up!
|
| An nou chèche konn kisa k bloke n!
| Let's find out what is blocking us!
|
| Se vre chenn lan te soti nan pye n

| Pran almanak ann chèch'on dat!
| Take the calendar and look for the date!
|
| Nou bezwen yon lòt milwisankat!
| We need another four hundred and four!
|
| Zansèt nou yo te fè li deja!
| Our forefathers did it already!
|
| Li nesesè pou n refè l jodi a!

|
| Sa fè nou diveze!
| That makes us diverge!

| We will soon be able to change that
|
| Ann ale!
