Haïti Mon Amour lyrics

[Jay-Z]

When the sky falls and the Earth quakes

We gon put this back together

We won’t break

When the sky falls and the Earth quakes

We gon put this back together

We won’t break

Sa Pa Sé, my Port-Au-Princes

my Haïtian Gods and all of my Princesses

Our condolences as you fightin’ against this

we’re right by your side as we tryin’ to make sense of this

heavenly father help us see through these problems

and for those that left, accept them into your garden

so here’s my theory, the country’s already starvin’

so we sacrificed many to shed light on all of them

God please pardon, I speak from the heart

it's the only way I see this tragedy befall on them

so let's get involved with them, hand to hand with them

arm to arm with them til they get strong again,

When the sky falls…

[Rihanna & Bono]

Can’t wait until tomorrow

Haïti, Mon Amour

Haïti, Mon Amour

Not gonna leave you stranded, alone, alone

oh no

[Jay-Z]

When the sky falls and the Earth quakes

We gon put this back together

We won’t break

When the sky falls and the Earth quakes

We gon put this back together

We won’t break

Learn from the past, New Orleans was flooded

So we know we just can’t rely on the government

We under the rubble again, here we go rumbling when

When we gon catch a break, my friend lost his mother and then

And then, Carline lost her uncles and them

Buried with no caskets, they just put covers on them

And the tears fall, and we fight back

Story ain’t done, it can’t end like that

Nah not like this, tomorrow’s survivors gonna carry on your name

You live on inside us, your memory’s alive with us

You inspired us, to rebuild this country, you just guide us

[Rihanna & Bono]

Can’t wait until tomorrow

Haïti, Mon Amour

Haïti, Mon Amour

Not gonna leave you stranded, alone, alone

oh no

[Bono]

It’s not the angels that are on their way

its not the bells of Santa Trinite

the people waiting, position vacant(?)

for hands to help, not just to pray

[Rihanna & Bono]

Can’t wait until tomorrow

Haïti, Mon Amour

Haïti, Mon Amour

Not gonna leave you stranded, alone, alone

oh no

[French singing]

Haïti va s’élever

Tu vas te relever

Nous nous éléverons

Ensemble ensemble ensemble

(not gonna leave you stranded…)

[Jay-Z]

we gon put this back together we wont break

we gon put this back together we wont break

we gon put this back together we wont break

we gon put this back together we wont break
