Haiti, Le Monde Vous Ecoute

Proud people of the Haitian Ile, Stand firm with head held high. Though days may last for a while, The world has begun to hear your cry. Le monde ecoute les voix criant; On voit et meme se sent votre douleur. Avec vous, on est priant. Avec vous, aussi on pleure. Two plus centuries ago, You proved strength and gained liberty. For your great past, there’s a greater tomorrow, In spite of the now, pursue prosperity. Le monde écoute votre voir d’éspoir; On voit toute votre courage. Quelle belle pays et peuple noir – À vous, on dis “soyez brave, soyez brave!” Such a calamity to strike Porte-au-Prince; May you raise capital walls and the hearts therein. Like those of Katrina, you will be remembered since; This time, may justice and compassion speedily win. Haiti, le monde écoute les cries de votre terre; On voit ques vos avez tellement de besoins. Il nous semble qu’un des ces est un frère. Donc, à vous on dit, “On vient!” (Dedicated to Haiti as a result of the 2010 earthquake.)
