Lyrics
Tu es ma mere, tu es mon pere, tu es le sang qui coule dans mes veines.
Haiti je t’adore, j’aimerais tellement etre plus pres de toi, tu es ma soeur,
tu es mon frere, tu es le sang qui coule dans mes veines.
J’ai grandi en sol etranger mais maman etait la, pour me montrer les coutumes
de chez moi, la langue de chez moi, c’est comme si j’y etais.
Grand mere s’occupait de tous les repas, avec mon pere j’ecoutais tes compères
ilsme parlent de toi s’ennuient de toi, c’est comme si j’y etais.
On t’appelait la perle des Antilles, tu etais tu restes si magnifique j’ai des
images de toi des photos de toi c’est comme si j’y etais.
Le temps sur toi s’est acharné, une partie de toi s’est fait inondé,
je parle de toi, je pense a toi, c’est comme si c’est comme si j’y etais.
Parfois je trouve difficile voir ses images de toi qui defilent souvent ce que
l’on montre de toi, ne te represente, ne te represente.. . pas

Lyrics translation
You're my mother, you're my father, you're the blood that flows through my veins.
Haiti I love you, I wish I was closer to you, you're my sister,
you're my brother, you're the blood that flows through my veins.
I grew up in foreign soil but mom was there, to show me the customs
from home, the language from home, it's like I'm there.
Grand mother took care of all the meals, with my father I listened to your friends
they talk about you, they're bored with you, it's like I'm there.
They called you the Pearl of the West Indies, You Were you remain so beautiful I have
pictures of you pictures of you it's like I'm there.
The time on you has been hard, a part of you has been flooded,
I'm talking about you, I'm thinking about you, it's like it's like I'm there.
Sometimes I find it difficult to see his images of you that often scroll what
we show of you, do not represent you, do not represent you.. . not
