[Chorus]
Ayiti leve, leve tout je sou nou la
Ayiti leve, leve nou pa poukont nou
[Verse]
N ap mache lontan san kanpe
Solèy frape n nou pa lage
Chak bout swe k sou gazon an
Se siy ki di nou rive la
Yo di se rèv men nou konnen
Chak ti viktwa te louvri pòt sa
Gad je Zansèt yo klere
Nan pousyè nan tanpèt nou prale ba yo louwanj
Yo di pitit mwen Se pou w leve
[Chorus]
Ayiti leve, leve tout je sou nou la
Ayiti leve, leve nou pa poukont nou
[Verse]
Malgre pwoblèm peyi n ap andire
Nou fè fyète nou, nou kalifye
San n pa jwe yon match lakay nou
Se vre pèsonn pat fè n zèv
Yo di se chans men nou konnen
Chak ti viktwa te louvri pòt sa
Gad je Zansèt yo klere
Nan tanpèt nan defèt yo kanpe n avè n tèt frèt
Y ap di pitit mwen leve w pa poukont ou
[Chorus]
Ayiti leve, leve tout je sou nou la
Ayiti leve, leve nou pa poukont nou
[Post-Chorus]
Jou pa w la rive – se pa pa aza
Miray yo tonbe – nou travay pou sa
Rekòlte fòs kouraj ou – pa kache pran plas ou
Met granmoun sou ou
Nou pa poukont nou
Grenadye
[Verse]
Tande zansèt yo k ap rele
Nan dlo nan flanmb yo pote andan stad la
Ansanm y ap di pitit mwen kanpe djanm
Met granmoun sou nou nou pa poukont nou
[Choir]
