Haïti
C'est toi mon seul paradis
Haïti
Ah ! Dieu me rappelle
Tes forêts si belles
Tes grands horizons
Loin de tes rivages
N'est qu'une prison
Oui !! Mon désir , mon cri d'amour
Haïti
C'est de te revenir un jour
Oh, beau pays bleu
Bien loin, bien loin sous d'autres cieux
Je vivais des jours heureux
Mais tout est fini
Seule dans mon exil aujourd'hui
Je chante, le cœur meurtri
Oui ! mon désir mon cri d'amour
Haïti
C'est de te revenir un jour
Haïti !!!
