Desde que me voy
El firmamento es negro
Los reflejos de la pantalla de la lámpara

Students, grab a pen to write, a pen
A pen is a powerful gun, a deadly weapon
Students, even if you make serious errors
Write, write your names. Keep on writing

Haïti, Haïti, le Pays des Grands Esclaves
Haïti, Haïti, la Terre des Anciens Braves
La Terre que beaucoup veulent trahir.
