Renn chantrèl kote-ou?
lasirèn ap kriye
sanble vwa li anwe
vil chagren nan lapenn
rèl li benyen ak san
renn chantrèl kote-ou?
depi tan nou isit
lannwit pa janm ale
vil bonè nan malè
solèy pa janm klere-l
renn chantrèl kote-ou?
syèl la fann an mòso
senk bèl koulè kwaze
yon parad toutrèl fou
kouri fè laviwonn
nan granchemen san lamp
renn chantrèl kote-ou?
si van vini l’a karese-w
si jou vini l’a kouwonnen-w
swazo soley a ba ou zèl
vin ede nou chante
renn chantrèl kote-ou?

Borderlines and Bloodlines
Lyrics written by Germa Adan
I've got borderlines
in my Bloodlines mmmm hmm mmm
what have I left behind
Eske ce youn kote parent mwen abite, ou youn kote zansèt yo asanble,
eske cest tout istwa-k passe anba tout pye-n,
of the things all gone by
I've got my stars aligned
With yours and mines, mmhmmm mm hmm
Is it always this divine
Mwen wè grace lanmou nan tout figi ou, tout parole realiser bondye te di-nou, I’m assured we are, surely we are where we belong
Our identity was scattered
Beyond a grain
Beyond a roosters crow
Beyond a floating feather
Beyond a wedding bow
Beyond the bricks and mortar
Beyond a waiting door
Beyond a waiting door
Our identity was scattered
Beyond a soaring crane
Beyond a warriors torch
Beyond a roaring river
Beyond a tailored cloth
Beyond a lightning bolt
Beyond a candles flicker
Beyond a miners gold
Beyond a lovers whisper
Beyond a wilting rose
Beyond a touch that lingers
Beyond the open shores

Wildflower
Lyrics by Emmanuel W. Vedrine from the poem ‘Fluer Sauvaj’
as a dry land
waiting for the rain
you are the dew that
can water me
as a thirsty camel walking many kilometers
in the desert
you are an oasis
oh sunflower without a garden
garden without jasmin
honey without hives
flying into the spring season
Why dont you buzz
buzz in my flower
flower that sits just by the road
why do you refuse
to bloom in my garden
cant you see how much you are to me
Try to think of something indespensable to you
multiply it by a thousand
an add the product
to the feeling of love, you never had in your life
to the feeling of love, you never had in your life
to the feeling of love, you never had in your life
to the feeling of love, you never had in your life

Mountain Song
Lyrics and music by Germa Adan
Roll over these mountains Take me home
I no longer need your fastpaced world
Purge me in the river wash my soul
Away with my burdens, away with my woes
Ahha ha
Ahha ha
Ahha ha
Gonna find out the best of me
Won’t you take a closer walk with me
Walk along beside me day and night
Moving through dem branches side by side
Ahha ha
Ahha ha
Ahha ha
Leve'm sur montaine, minim lakay
Mwen pa vle rete nan moment ca
Lavem nan rivier dlo ki pi kle
Retirer tout chaj avek miser
Ahha ha
Ahha ha
Ahha ha
Mwen pr'aller cherche youn vi pi bon
Fre et seour an nou met min nan min
Nan peyi ancestre, et nan peyi louin
Continuer cherche lunion pour ayiti
Ahha ha
Ahha ha
Ahha ha

Souvni
Lyrics by Emmanuel W. Vedrine from the poem ‘Souvni’
premye randevou nou
jan ou te damou pou mwen
Men kounyeya, ou prale
ou fè kòmsi m pa t egziste
Ou gen entansyon kite m
_
Mwen sonje ou te di
ke w ap toujou avè m
Mwen sonje ou te di
ke w ap toujou avè m
_
mwen swete ou bòn chans
men yon jou w a retounen
nan sous mwen an
pou koupe swaf ou
_
Mwen sonje ou te di
ke w ap toujou avè m
Mwen sonje ou te di
ke w ap toujou avè m
_
men nan moman nwa sa yo,
ou bliye pwomès sa a.
_
Mwen sonje ou te di
ke w ap toujou avè m
Mwen sonje ou te di
ke w ap toujou avè m
