Haiti chérie says haiti is my beloved land
Oh, I never knew
That I'd have to leave you to understand
Just how much I miss the gallant citadel
Where days long ago
Brave men served this country well

Where sun is bright or evenings with soft moonlight
A shading tree, creole fellow for company
A gentle breeze, a warm caress if you please
Work, laughter and play
Yes, we'll always be this way

Haiti chérie says haiti is my beloved land
Oh, I never knew that I'd have to leave you to understand
Just how much I miss the gallant citadel
Where days long ago, brave men served this country well

A gentle breeze, a warm caress if you please
Work, laughter and play
Yes, we'll always be this way

Haiti chérie says haiti is my beloved land
Oh, I never knew
That I'd have to leave you to understand
Just how much I miss the gallant citadel
Where days long ago
Brave men served this country well
Where days long ago
Brave men served this country well
