Translation of the song lyrics Adieu Haïti - Raphaël

Adieu Haïti (original)

Je marche dans les rues
Le bon Dieu dans ma poche
Je marche dans la grande ville
Et je n’ai plus froid
La Terre est mon amie
Et souvent je dors dessus
Et je m’ennuie de mon pays
Qui était si petit
Adieu mon petit pays
Adieu ma famille
Adieu mon île, ô Haïti, adieu ma petite terre
I remember my country
Down Memory Lane
The wind is my best friend
It always blows for me
Neons in the distance
Clear as daylight
Sometimes I think that I’m not of this world
I remember this song
O farewell my country
My carribean island in the sun
O farewell Haïti
The sun I just can’t see
Adieu mon petit pays
Adieu ma famille
Adieu mon île, ô Haïti, adieu ma petite terre
Je me souviens des rues
Et des nuits de Port-au-Prince
Et je suis toujours un étranger
A la gare internationale
Le vent nous emportait
Aussi loin qu’il pouvait
Cet air, je le connais
I say farewell my country
My carribean island in the sun
O farewell Haïti

Adieu Haïti (translation)

I walk the streets
The good Lord in my pocket
I walk in the big city
And I'm not cold anymore
Earth is my friend
And often I sleep on it
And I miss my country
Who was so small
Farewell my little country
Farewell my family
Farewell my island, oh Haiti, farewell my little land
I remember my country
Down Memory Lane
The wind is my best friend
It always blows for me
Neons in the distance
Clear as daylight
Sometimes I think that I'm not of this world
I remember this song
O farewell my country
My carribean island in the sun
O farewell Haiti
The sun I just can't see
Farewell my little country
Farewell my family
Farewell my island, oh Haiti, farewell my little land
I remember the streets
And Port-au-Prince nights
And I'm still a stranger
At the international station
The wind was carrying us
As far as he could
This tune, I know it
I say farewell my country
My carribean island in the sun
O farewell Haiti
