Haitian Creole text:
Woy! Alon doulè rèd'o!
Alon doulè rèd'o!
Mezanmi, woy!
Twazièm son fenk sonnen nan Legliz Katedral;
Solèy kouche lontan dèyè Mòn Lopital...
Lanati dechennen met tout moun anba kòd.
Gro kolòn, ti poto tounen pousiè ak sann.
Jezi, Mari, Josèf... Gras' a Mizerikòd...
Lanati dechennen met tout moun anba kòd.
Nou wè, Nou pa konprann,
Sa rive sanzantann.
Latè tranble!
Latè tranble pi rèd pase fèy nan savann.
Anmwe! Anmwe! Sekou souple!
Nan pwen bouch pou pale...
Dies irae, dies illa;
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine.
Ayiti! Ayiti! Alon doulè rèd'o,
Mare senti'w sere.

Legetè toupatou mande: "Kouman ou ye?"
N'ap debat, n'ap debat,
