Ayiti Pale<br />
ALERTE VENIA<br />
Si Ayiti te ka pale, li ta di anpil bagay de mwen, verite<br />
se Ayiti pa ka pale.<br />
Ayiti mwen renmenw pou lavi.<br />
Si Ayiti te ka pale, li ta esplike ki jan de moun mwen<br />
ye, li tap di mwen se pitit li, li tou jou di nous a men<br />
nou pa janm tandel.<br />
Gen anpil mizè pou pitit nou yo. Sa mwen kwè li.<br />
Manman mwen gen anpil souvenir chak jou de Ayiti.<br />
<strong>Haiti</strong> Speaks<br />
VENIA ALERTE<br />
If <strong>Haiti</strong> could speak, she would say a lot of things<br />
about me. e fact is, <strong>Haiti</strong> cannot speak.<br />
<strong>Haiti</strong>, I love you for my life.<br />
If <strong>Haiti</strong> could speak, she would explain what<br />
type of person I am. “You are the daughter<br />
of <strong>Haiti</strong>,” she always says, but we never hear<br />
anything.<br />
ere has been a lot of misery for your daughter,<br />
of that I am certain.<br />
Mother <strong>Haiti</strong>, I have daily memories of you.<br />
