Lakay<br />
FEQUIERE EDLINE<br />
Lakay se lakay<br />
Map rete lakay<br />
Menm lè map pase tray<br />
Yon lè ma jwenn travay<br />
Mwen pa pè pedi ray<br />
Pou mwen pa fè n ofra<br />
Mwen lejè tankou pay<br />
Menn map rete kal<br />
Pou mwen pa vin pi màl<br />
Alè nan vwazinay<br />
Se alè bay piyay<br />
Peyim se Ayiti<br />
E se la mwen grandi<br />
Tout moun relem piti<br />
Telman lavi a di<br />
Se redi map redi<br />
Jou alè, jou vini<br />
Map toujou ekri<br />
Pom ka jwenn souri jiskaske mwen soti<br />
Sòti pami piti<br />
ipokrit yo ap sezi<br />
Pa rete ap bat nay<br />
Chita ap men pay<br />
Pinga ou kwe nanchans<br />
Lavi se konpetans<br />
Se dòmi nan soufrans<br />
Leve nan delivrans<br />
Home is Home<br />
EDLINE FEQUIERE<br />
Home is home<br />
I am staying home<br />
Even though I am suering<br />
Even though I can’t nd a job<br />
I fear not that I will be lost<br />
For we do not pass<br />
I am like the lighter cha<br />
I will stay calm<br />
For I do not become worse<br />
Go out into the the community!<br />
It is time to extend ourselves<br />
<strong>Haiti</strong> is my country<br />
Even though I am grown<br />
People call me “small”<br />
So many have said<br />
It is hard to hear<br />
Day in, day out<br />
I will write<br />
My next endeavor I will face smiling<br />
until I can get out from among the “small”<br />
e hypocrites will be surprised<br />
We will not be beaten<br />
We will not sit and smoke weed<br />
Do you believe in luck?<br />
Life is skill!<br />
Suering is from sleep<br />
Arise to deliverance!
