Wanament

Water is essential to everyone
All species need H2O to survive
No one can live without this weapon
A dehydrated lion will die in
Minutes without any type of liquid
Eternal God, I thank and glorify you
Nights and days for everything
The pride of my People is not dead.

Kanal la pap kanpe
Pèp Ayisien kanpe
Pou defann dwa li
Nou fèb men nou ini.

Wow! Many people are shocked
Antique myths are still relevant
Nobody is afraid to die fighting
Ancient spirits live forever
My fellow friends and Poets
Eternal God, we pray and thank you
Nights and days, for miracles around
The Globe, where Peace is paramount.

Kanal la pap kanpe
Pèp Wanament yo ap
Wè ke jaden yo ap byen aroze
Pèp Ayisyen pa pè pran frap.
