Leve Kanpe – Rise up

Haitian Creole and French – English Poetic Translation

Lavi nou sou tè-a chaje pikan kwenna; Lè se pa maladi, se mizè, se traka. Rayisans, laperèz makonnen ak lanvi Lage nou plat atè.

Gade devan, pa gade dèyè. Granmoun save di nou: premye so pa so. Tonbe se pa lafen, se ret'atè ki lèd’o.

*Aucun être sur terre ne doit vivre à genoux;

*Debout et soyons fiers, le divin est en nous.

Leve kanpe, bon zanmi. Leve kanpe!

An nou leve, an nou kanpe! Se nan pèseverans n’a genyen laviktwa Plenyen ak dlo nan je paka yon solisyon. An nou leve kanpe, an nou gade devan!

Bon zanmi, annavan! Annavan, annavan! Kèlkeswa anmèdman, an nou gade devan! Nan jistis, nan renmen, n’a jwenn benediksyon!

*Debout et soyons fiers, le divin est en nous. Leve kanpe! [ Rise up! ]

-Gabriel T. Guillaume February 2019

Our life here on earth is full of thorns; When there’s no sickness, there is misery, there is chaos Hatred and fear entwined with envy Knock us straight to the ground.

Look forward, not backward The old wise ones tell us: the first fall is no failure. Falling is not the end, it’s not getting up that is unacceptable.

No one on earth should live on their knees; Let’s stand up and be proud, the divine is in us.

Rise up, dear friend. Rise up!

Let’s stand up, let’s stand proud! It is in perseverance that we will find triumph. Moaning and crying can not be the solution. Let us rise up, let us look forward!

My friend, let’s go!

Let’s go, let’s go!

No matter the hurdle, let’s look forward!

In justice and in love, we will find benediction!

Let’s stand up and be proud, the divine is in us. Rise up!
