Children's Song
(Haitian Creole)
(English)
Ti zwazo nan bwa ki tape koute
Ti zwazo nan bwa ki tape koute
Le mwen tande sa mwen ginyin lapen
Le mwen tande sa mwen ginyin lapen
Kan depi jou sa depie mwen nan shen
Little bird in the wood listening
Little bird in the wood listening
When I heard all this overcome with grief
When I heard all this overcome with grief
Since that day have been in shackles.
Notes
