Si chat konnen si rat konnen
Andui ap seche lan solèy
A kondition bò pè koulèv
Te kache jiskaske l fè zèl
Tankou w ti bebe k lan bèso
Ta kab chante kokiyoko
Siveyan va toune le do
Bèt kap ranpe p al fè zero
Lamitie lwen lamitie pre
Grandèt toujou ap diskite
Ak pasyans oun lè fò k ou byen
Il sifi ke w pa bay legen
Seremoni fèk komanse
Youn de twa kat ki restera
Eske se ou eske se mwen
Kan menm fò k la dènye vèra
Baboukèt kòm ansyen modèl
Vivi dan griyen pou manmzèl
Ki sa la k pou fè ke w sote
Se toujou a rekomanse
O kontrè na va motive
Pou n wè se ranse n tap ranse
Tounen sanpwèl san komokyèl
Fè bèl devire nan riyèl

[Refren]
Zanmi pre m pral kay zanmi lwen
Zanmi pre m pral kay zanmi lwen
Yo di zanmi lwen se lajan sere
Men zanmi pre se kouto debò
M pral wè si se vre
Zanmi pre m pral kay zanmi lwen
Zanmi pre m pral kay zanmi lwen
Yo di zanmi lwen se lajan sere
Men zanmi pre se kouto debò
Fè wè se pa vre

[II]
Chita kozman lan w kondisyon
Pou n pa bal sans oun mo kouran
Devlopman lan w conversation
Gon w plas tout a fait signifiant
La force de phrase de lâ€™homme parlant
Câ€™est de dire ou bien nous voulons
Que le développement sert de guide
Aux gens de mauvaises intentions
Chita kondisyon l lan prezan
Se vrè devwa youn pèp konsyan
Il faudrait ke l ankouraje
Nèg ki konprann ki vle lite
Magre tou se yo k ap boule
Je wont je se yo ki lespwa
Zanmi lwen la pou l resevwa
Tout moun lakay ap bay traka
Anfin anfin son w destriksyon
Nou chita sou malediksyon
Se pa chita ap kritike
Pwiske se kraze n ap kraze
Youn de twa kat ap repase
Baboukèt la va pi sere
Sou tèt dlo sous ava koule
Ti gout yon lò na va mande

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,...

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...
