Si yon jou mwen ta pati byen lwen
Fòk nou sonje pwoblèm lavi ki mande sa
Ayiti, ou se peyi an mwen
Pa g'on rezon k'ap fèm pati pou'm pa tounen
Jodi-a m'al travay, m'al travay pou 200 dola
Madanm pou m okipe, telefòn pou mwen peye

Santi kè m kap dechire, zantray mwen kap rache
M'sonje'w, m'sonje'w, Ayiti cheri mwen

[Chorus]
Mwen sonje peyi mwen
Mwen sonje zanmi mwen
Mwen sonje fanmi mwen

Mwen sonje peyi mwen (Sonje!)
Mwen sonje zanmi mwen (Ayiti cheri!)
Mwen sonje fanmi mwen

(Solèy lavil se ou papa)

[Hook]
Kòman nou ye?
Eske nou la?
Sak pase?
Eske n'anfom?

San kap koule nan venn mwen
Chalè solèy ou banm lavi cheri
Ayiti, tan pou m kite'w, m'pito mouri cheri
Pap sa kenbe, m'bezwen tounen
Zantray mwen kap rache
Sonje, sonje Ayiti cheri mwen

[Chorus]
Mwen sonje peyi mwen
Mwen sonje zanmi mwen
Mwen sonje fanmi mwen

Valè pale yo pale
Valè ranse yo ranse
Yo pap kraze Ayiti (Pa gen sa pyès)

Valè pale yo pale
Valè ranse yo ranse
Valè pale yo pale
Yo pap kraze Ayiti
(Ayiti se peyi m, se pa ou anyen...Jezi, Marie, Jozèf)

Se la m kite manmanm, adye
Se la m kite papa m, zanmi m, fanmi m
Ayiti, mwen pap sa kite ou
Chak fwa m sonje'w, se dlo kape koule manmi
M'sonje'w m'sonje'w, Ayiti cheri

Jodi a m'al travay, m'al travay pou 200 dola
Madanm pou m okipe, telefòn pou mwen peye
Santi kè m ap dechire, zantray mwen ap rache
M'sonje'w, m'sonje'w, Ayiti cheri mwen

Mwen sonje peyi mwen
Mwen sonje zanmi mwen
Mwen sonje fanmi mwen

Mwen sonje peyi mwen
Mwen sonje fanmi m Ayiti
M'pap sa kenbe...Anmwey!

This week our users added some great songs on WikiMizik. Here are a few lines that we found ourselves reading more than just once. Let's start with Kite'm Ba Ou Love from Frap La, a hot track that talks about his dire need to give this girl some love. In this line he talks about his terrible financial decisions from this love, you might be able to explain it better than I can. "Mfè vie dèt ki depase mwayenm Pou'm ravitaye m'ipoteke tout sa'm te gen nan menm damn" Kitem...

Songwriter's Corner: Roody Laforest

"Cheri, mwen konnen m pa ase." That's what Roody Laforest sings on his debut single, Mwen Pa Ase. It takes an honest man to admit his shortcomings. But after chatting with the Montreal-based singer, we realized though Roody tells it like it is, he can be a little too hard on himself. Wikimizik talked to him about his musical roots and writing process. We hope you enjoy his straight talk as much as we did. Who is Roody? How am I supposed to answer this question? Let's make it short...

Kompasoul Impresses On 'No Rules'

No Rules is the debut album of Kompasoul, a new band from Montreal, Canada. The 13 tracks flow seamlessly and leave you dancing throughout the duration of the project. What's most impressive about Kompasoul is their versatility. While the band is able to churn out hard-hitting club bangers promoters will love (Pè severans, Pirana, Manje Pou 2), they also craft mellow konpa love and zouk hits DJs will spin. And the transition between the two sounds is effortless. Even...

From Hi To I Do

We started Wikimizik because we're passionate about Haitian music and believe our language makes for beautiful storytelling. That's why we're telling a love story through song with "From Hi To I Do." Starting today and ending on Valentine's Day, we'll follow a relationship from the initial encounter to the altar. Everyday we'll share a song or more taking us through the stages of the relationship. There'll be songs that make you smile, and others that may leave you feeling...

Albums We're Waiting For

Though there's a couple of albums from last year we still can't get enough of, that doesn't mean we can't look forward to a great lineup in 2016. Here are some of the albums that we can't wait for this year. 1. Carimi Their last album, Invasion, has yet to come out the 5-disc changer in most people's cars. The live album, "Kite M Cho" made us fall in love with the tracks even more. With Michael's return to the band after a month-long vacation/mini retirement, we're sure...

BelO came. He sang. He conquered.

Rapping our History From Dessalines to Martelly

Tomorrow, we celebrate the Haitian flag's 211th anniversary. We have a lot to be proud of. And a lot to think about. Many songs fit the occasion. Would we feature a nostalgic ode like Jacques Sauveur Jean's Ayiti Cheri and MikaBen's Ayiti Se? Or poignant reality checks like BelO's Detripay? Kumbaya...

Gogomaji Takes Us Into His World

Gogomaji is a new voice in Hip-Hop Kreyòl. With his fusion of racine and rap, Laurenzgo Gauvin has brought a unique sound in the game. We got a chance to chat with Gogomaji about his latest singles, writing and upcoming plans. 1. Gogo Maji. Explain to us the meaning behind Gogo Maji and how did the name come about? My first name is Laurenzgo, composed of both my parents' first name, Laurence et Sergo. My father already...

BIOGRAPHY

Michel Martelly, better known as "Sweet Micky", was born February 12, 1961 in Port-au-Prince, Haïti, He is a haitian performing and recording artist, composer, and musical sociopolitical activist. Martelly served as President of Haiti after winning the presidential election in 2011. Martelly is more popularly and affectionately known as "Sweet Micky", a moniker sometimes used interchangeably to refer to himself as well as his band (with original members, guitar player Alex Tropnas and bass player Welton Desire).

Michel Martelly has been heralded as a pioneer of a unique brand of kompas music, a style of Haitian dance music sung in Haitian Creole language. Originally, compas was a fusion of Afrolatin jazz and African/Haitian folkoric rhythms, and was traditionally played by large bands composed of numerous group members and instrument sections. Martelly, a keyboardist and the self-proclaimed "bad boy" President of Compas, popularized a nouvelle generation, or "new generation" style, of smaller bands with few members that relied predominantly on synthesizers and electronic instruments to reproduce a fuller sound. Martelly's and Sweet Micky's live performances and recordings are sometimes laced with obscenities and humorous sociopolitical commentary by Martelly. Outlandish and outspoken, Martelly has been known to drink publicly while performing in wigs, costumes, diapers, and Scottish kilts, and occasionally removed his own attire while performing. While arguably the most recognized and applauded musician and public personality in Haiti, Martelly's performance style has sometimes ignited controversy throughout the Haitian diaspora.
