THE ARCADE FIRE Hati Lyrics

"Ha?ti"

Ha?ti, mon pays,
Wounded mother I'll never see
Ma famille set me free.
Throw my ashes into the sea.

Mes cousins jamais n?s
Hantent les nuits de Duvalier.
Rien n'arrte nos esprits.
Guns can't kill what soldiers can't see.

In the forest we are hiding,
Unmarked graves where flowers grow.
Hear the soldiers angry yelling,
In the river we will go.

Tous les morts-n?s forment une arm?e
Soon we will reclaim the earth.
All the tears and all the bodies
Bring about our second birth

Ha?ti, never free,
N'aie pas peur de sonner l'alarme.
Tes enfants son partis,
In those days their blood was still warm.
