O Haiti

Who saw it said they didn't get emotional
They lied, tried to change the subject and couldn't
Entered the room, remembered, cried and asked the sky
Not to see more civilian bodies

For the people who walk barefoot
On what was once a road
For the people who sleep tightly
Even without anything, wake up afraid of robbery
At night they fear rape and murder
In the chaos that lasts centuries on the island of neglect

Beyond the effect of the earth tremors
The effect of years and years of war
Despair of those who have never seen liberated life
Is this the end of your new era? No!
These people, who are also my people, overcome
That black skin is also mine
That tear falling in the gutter is also mine
Hold on!
There is strength in you, there is strength in me, aiai

Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh, Haiti
Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh, Haiti

Five days underground, hunger and fear
But the secret of survival comes from birth
Those who have hope, wait
Another phoenix rises from the crater
Remains alive on the Island of Santo Domingo
In the smiles of its girls and boys
Remains alive on the Island of Santo Domingo
In the smiles of its girls and boys

Who saw it said they didn't get emotional
They lied, tried to change the subject and couldn't
Entered the room, remembered, cried and asked the sky
Not to see more civilian bodies
Not to see more civilian bodies

Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh, Haiti
Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh, Haiti
