| Depi le mond egziste te toujou gen epidemi Maladi pa t janm chwazi figi pou l achte Afè SIDA yo vle blanmen Ayisyen Paske li bay lasyans pwoblem Epi li mete disenfomasyon deyò Ameriken genyen sistèm sa pou defo Li toujou pran abilisman ni Pou li jete l sou do pèp ki nan bezwen Nou pwouve ke nou Aysiyen nou pa responsab Se yon sel rezon ki pwodwi SIDA Se nan gwo peyi kote dlo koule fre Kote ki gen lakoripsyon SIDA, AIDS twa-ach Sa pa sòti lakay SIDA, AIDS twa-ach SIDA, AIDs pòv Ayisyen (2) Ameriken cheche trètman SIDA ou SIDA-AIDS 3-H Sa pa sot Ayiti Se travay nou vin travay Nou vinn vann kouray nou Nou pa menm byen touche Ou vle ba nou SIDA ou la (3) Ameriken trete SIDA ou Nou kite peyi nou n ap chache lavi Amerika Kat ach rive, yo di se nou ki te pote l Nou travay di san garanti Nou pa byen touche Lopital refize trètman an Imigrasyon pran sèvi komès Mezanmi tounen lakay, tounen lakay tounen lakay SIDA se bagay dwòl Pitimi san Gadò Jean-Claude Martineau Gen yon maladi ki atrapan Kouman gomi lape jete kretyen vivan Malgre lasyans poko konen kote l soti An atandan yo di se Ayiti... |
From the beginning of the world there has been disease Diseases don’t select specific people to attack They blame AIDS on Haitians Because science couldn’t find an answer And then they put out disinformation One of the defects of America is the way They always take their shame And deflect it onto other peoples who are in need We proved that we Haitians are not responsible There is only one reason for AIDS It is in the big nations where water runs fresh But there is corruption SIDA, AIDs three-H It doesn’t come from home SIDA, AIDS three-H SIDA, AIDS, poor Haitians Americans search for a treatment for your AIDS SIDA, AIDS three H It doesn’t come from Haiti SIDA, AIDS We came to work We came to sell our strength We aren’t even paid well You want to give us your AIDS (3) Americans, treat your own AIDS We left our country We’re searching for livelihood in America 4-H arrived; they say we brought it here We work hard without security We aren’t paid well Hospitals refuse to treat us Immigration is corrupt Friends, let’s go back home, Go back home, Go home. AIDS, it is a strange thing There is a contagious disease Picking human beings like ripe mangoes Even though science doesn’t yet know its origins In the meantime they say it is Haiti... |
