เพลง Haiti Cherie

Haïti chérie - Harry Belafonte

Haiti Cherie

Says Haiti is my beloved land

Oh I never knew

That I 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 evening with soft moonlight

Shading tree Creole maiden for company

A gentle breeze

A warm caress if you please

Work laughter and play

Yes we'll always be this way

Haiti Cherie says Haiti is my beloved land

Oh I never knew

That I have to leave you to understand

Just how much I miss the gallant Citadel

Where days long ago

Brave men served this country well

Haiti Cherie

Now I've returned to your soil so dear

Let me hear again

The things that give music to my ear

The lone shepherd's horn

That welcomes the rising morn

When roads overflow

As crowds to Iron market go

Where sun is bright

Or evening with soft moonlight

Shading tree

Creole maiden for company

A gentle breeze

A warm caress if you please

Work laughter and play

Yes we'll always be this way
