Haïti Chérie
Haiti Cherie says Haiti is my beloved land
Oh, I never knew that I have to leave you to understand
Just how much I miss the gallant Citadel
Where days long ago, brave men served this country well
Where sun is bright or evening with soft moonlight
A shading tree, Creole maiden for company
A gentle breeze, a warm caress if you please
Work, laughter and play, yes, we'll always be this way
Haiti Cherie says Haiti is my beloved land
Oh, I never knew that I have to leave you to understand
Just how much I miss the gallant Citadel
Where days long ago, brave men served this country well
Haiti Cherie, now I've returned to your soil so dear
Let me hear again the things that give music to my ear
The shepherd's horn that welcomes the rising morn'
When roads overflow as crowds to island market go
Where sun is bright or evenings with soft moonlight
A shading tree, Creole maiden for company
A gentle breeze, a warm caress if you please
Work, laughter and play, yes, we'll always be this way
Oh, I never knew that I have to leave you to understand
Just how much I miss the gallant Citadel
Where days long ago, brave men served this country well
Where sun is bright or evening with soft moonlight
A shading tree, Creole maiden for company
A gentle breeze, a warm caress if you please
Work, laughter and play, yes, we'll always be this way
Haiti Cherie says Haiti is my beloved land
Oh, I never knew that I have to leave you to understand
Just how much I miss the gallant Citadel
Where days long ago, brave men served this country well
Haiti Cherie, now I've returned to your soil so dear
Let me hear again the things that give music to my ear
The shepherd's horn that welcomes the rising morn'
When roads overflow as crowds to island market go
Where sun is bright or evenings with soft moonlight
A shading tree, Creole maiden for company
A gentle breeze, a warm caress if you please
Work, laughter and play, yes, we'll always be this way
