ieeeeeee
kout goch
anpil moun ki reprezante miray sa
lespri Bondye montrem pawòl la

The song "Anne" by Brothers Posse is a powerful message about the struggle for freedom and justice in society. The lyrics are in Haitian Creole and convey a clear message about the power of truth and the strength of the people.
In the first verse, the lyrics describe a society that is plagued by conflict and division. The people are represented as little cats fighting, and the only thing that can bring them together is the word of God and the power of truth.
The chorus repeats the phrase "miray tonbe", which means "falsehood falls". The song speaks about different types of miray (falsehood) that must fall - from Jericho to Babylon, from gangsters to hypocrites. The song invokes a collective sense of struggle against systems that are designed to keep people down.
The song is a message to the people of Haiti, calling for unity and strength in the face of adversity. The lyrics highlight the power that comes from standing up for what is right and true, and the chorus serves as a rallying cry for people to come together and fight for their freedom and rights.
