Kite Chwèt La Kriye (Kot Kòb Petrokaribe A, Bann Malfini?) Poem by Hebert Logerie

Kite Chwèt
La kriye
Kite Chwèt
La rele
Sou tèt legliz la
Chwèt la
Pat manje pwa
Chwèt la enève nan syèlla
Gen twop vòlè, twopespyon
Pa gen manti ladan sa
Chwèt la
Pat manje nan pate a
Sete lòt move laron yo
Wi, se vre, se tout bon
Chwèt la
Pasou aksyon
Chwèt la inosan
E li trè desan
Pran sèvyèt ou
Pou siye dèyè ou
Se pou chwèt la
Rel e, sa fè mal. Kitel kriye
La jounen kwè lannwit
Avèk tout fòs li
Chwèt la pap bay manti
Kote kòb PetroCaribe a
Ke gwo malfini yo volè a?
Kot kòb Petrokaribe a?

Let Cry the Owl
(Kote kob Petrokaribe a, bann malfini?)

Let cry
The Owl
Let Shout
The owl
Sitting on the aisle
The owl
Is fed up in the sky
Full of spies
And that's no lie
The owl
Did not eat the pies
The others did
Yes, indeed
The owl
Is not on the prowl
He's innocent
And pretty decent
Take your towel
To wipe your bowel
Let the owl
Shout and cry
Day and night
With all his might
‘Cause he does not lie
Where's the PetroCaribe money?
Kot kòb Petrokaribe a, bann malfini?
