The song "Rasanblé" by Beethova Obas is a call for Haitian unity in the face of difficult times. The opening lines of the song, "Ayisyen rasanble, pa di'n pa mele," translates to "Haitians unite, don't say we can't." The singer urges his fellow Haitians to come together despite any differences they may have, emphasizing that they are all concerned about the same issues affecting their country. The following lines, "kou sa pa bon, kou sa pa byen pase, se nou tout k'ap kriye," describe the struggles that Haitians have faced - the things that have not gone well and their shared tears.
The second verse of the song is an address to the "nèg vanyan dayiti," the valiant people of Haiti who are not afraid to speak their minds. The singer asks where they are in times of crisis and calls for their action to help their fellow citizens. The verse then turns to the idea of "libète," or freedom, which Haitians have long fought for. The lines "prè desan zan nou chante libète, men ki kote nou ye" talk about how Haitians sing about freedom, but are they really free? The singer points out that many Haitians are still suffering, and encourages the nèg vanyan to do something about it.
Overall, "Rasanblé" is a call for unity and action in the face of adversity. It reflects the struggles that everyday Haitians face and emphasizes the importance of coming together as a collective force to make change.
