[Hook]
Iâ€™m in love with lady Haiti
And when they called me to the Grammyâ€™s
I repped the flag all around me
Cause Iâ€™m in love with lady Haiti
Iâ€™m so in love they call me crazy
I left the music went to Haiti
Even though they tried to stop me
Iâ€™m in love with lady Haiti

[Verse]
I seen the earth shake right under her feet
She told me baby donâ€™t leave
Iâ€™m sitting on Oprah, tears in my eyes
I knew your story ever since a kid
Developed a crush when I heard what you did
1804 you made my people free
Youâ€™re the reason I feel like I could be anything

[Pre-hook]
She in the white shirt
Under the hot sun
Love when she talking that Kreyòl
Gade yon bèl fanm

[Hook]

[Keyboard]

[Verse]
They tried to make you turn on me for real
Said I stole everything that we built
Told me donâ€™t bother, truthâ€™s in my eyes
From the bottom and straight to the top
Every time youâ€™re around I can feel the clock stop
Despite what they think we got a chance
Cause we got one last dance

[Pre-hook]

[Hook]

[Keyboard]

[Verse]
Sakapfèt sakapfèt sakapfèt
Cheri Haiti mwen mande w sakapfèt
Lè ou tonbe gade jan ou leve
Lè ou leve gade jan ou pran fòs
Lè ou pran fòs pa gen moun k ap kenbe w
Ou gen pou w derape avèk de zèl sou kote w
Menm lè yo atake n atake n
Nou pa janm panike

Iâ€™m in love with lady Haiti
[Keyboard]

4Mula's Chapter 1

Jude and Carl Edouard (Carlitow) Deslouches have been on our radar since they dropped Se Ou Mwen Vle and the subsequent EP. Once in a while, the brothers would tease us with a new track. Late last year, they introduced 4Mula, a new band with fellow Montrealites and former Vibrasyon members, Romuald Paul and Benjamin Guirand. Their debut, "Chapter 1", is a groovy ride anchored by the Deslouches' warm vocals. It's the kind of album that will jump start any party and keep it rocking all night long. All you need is an aux cord. We...

Five Diaspora Winter Anthems

A few weeks ago, all 50 states reached freezing temperatures. The Polar vortex may be gone, but most of us still can't feel our toes. Since humans can't hibernate, staying in and hunkering down is only a temporary fix. Plus, we have to brave the cold to pay those bills. Good thing, we have music to warm our souls. Quite a few Haitian artists have migrated to the States, Canada, and Europe. They've all experienced the winter blues and expressed their lingering homesickness in song. Here are a few of our favorites. They're a potent cocktail of frustration and nostalgia. We'd cry,...
