Our Mission
Be the source of all Haitian lyrics and help discover the true meaning behind the words.
Haitian Creole is the heartbeat of Haitian identity — yet for decades, the lyrics to some of the most beloved songs in the diaspora existed only in memory, passed from person to person, imperfectly and incompletely. Wikimizik was built to change that.
The Platform
Four pillars. One archive.
Songs & Lyrics
A growing library of Haitian songs transcribed in authentic Haitian Creole — the language artists actually sing in.
Translations & Explanations
Line-by-line French and English translations, plus fan-written annotations that decode slang, cultural references, and poetic imagery.
Artist Profiles
Biographies, discographies, and genre tags for solo acts, bands, and featured collaborators.
Articles & Interviews
Long-form cultural journalism: genre histories, artist Q&As, and the stories that don't fit in a bio.
Product Experience
Click a line. Understand it.
Every lyric page is an interactive experience — listen to the track and read fan-written explanations as you follow along.
Mwen vle ou konnen sa ki nan kè m
Lavi a pa fasil men nou la toujou
"Lavi a pa fasil" (life is not easy) is a common Creole phrase used in kompa to express perseverance through hardship — pairing struggle with a declaration of resilience.
Pran men m, mache avè m nan chimen an
