Christy Moore - Haiti lyrics
[Christy Moore - Haiti lyrics]
Haiti was born, The Calabash was broken
The waters of the world
Flowed down the mountain
From the sacred caves came the Mestizo
Island people of the Arawak Taino
In Port-Au-Prince the city has fallen
From rubble and dust a voice is calling
Hear the fearful cry of a frightened nation
Carried on the wind from the Carribean Ocean
O Haiti when I heard your cry
I knew that you were broken
O Haiti you will rise again
One day you'll smile again my Creole sistеr
Way back in the time
When Skibbеreen lay mourning
There came a message of love
From the Choctaw nation
The waters of the world
Flowed down the mountain
From the sacred caves came the Mestizo
Island people of the Arawak Taino
In Port-Au-Prince the city has fallen
From rubble and dust a voice is calling
Hear the fearful cry of a frightened nation
Carried on the wind from the Carribean Ocean
O Haiti when I heard your cry
I knew that you were broken
O Haiti you will rise again
One day you'll smile again my Creole sistеr
Way back in the time
When Skibbеreen lay mourning
There came a message of love
From the Choctaw nation
