la rose di matin retounen
pou bondie te gade'm fom ta rale de pie'l
depi jou'm relel li fini pa tande'm
Pitit' nou byen grandi fò'l rete o peyi
si tèt mon' mwen fléri si woch tounen mayi sim rache tout fatra m'domi nan bèl dra
sim mange tou lè jou
Oh oh oh oh oh
Haïti pa mouri
Payi'm pa fini
Sim kraze licifè ki te mèt lan mizè
dechouke explwatè yo pran chimen lanfè
si la vi fèm kredi m'pa mache tou ni
pa bezwen pran bato pou neye kon krapo
E move van ale fè lespwa rivire
i fò nou rasanble pou nou rekonsilye
Libète gen yon pri nou paye san kredi
tout timoun yo pwal ri lè nmizè yo fini
Oh oh oh oh oh
Haïti pa mouri
Paï'm pa fini
Tout' ti moun yo pwal ri
The rainy days are gone now the sun is shining
together we can chase all the bad time away
The children will be smiling their misery's ending
United we won't fall Love always conquers all
Oh oh oh oh oh
my country will survive
darkness is gone
In "Gonaives," Orlane sings about her country, Haiti, and her hopes for its future. She talks about the struggles that Haitians have faced over the years, from exploitative plantation owners to natural disasters. Despite all of this, she remains hopeful that Haiti will survive and prosper. The first verse talks about the destructive power of a storm, but ends on a note of religious faith - God is watching over her. She then turns to the future of her children, hoping that they will remain in Haiti and help build a better future for the country. She emphasizes the importance of cleaning up the country, from the garbage in the streets to the corrupt politicians, so that everyone can enjoy a better life. In the chorus, she repeats her message of hope, singing that Haiti is not dead, its people will survive.
