Haitian Creole and French – English poetic translation
Tande, tande…
Lanmou pa gen koulè, lanmou pa gen baryè, Renmen renmen.
Sitwayen toupatou, nou tout nou konsène, Tout venn yo touche kè - nou se limanite. Lanmou pa gen koulè, lanmou pa gen chèlbè. Lanmou san prejije depase tout baryè.
Rayisans ak violans se pi gwo maladi. Mechanste ak lagè pa kreye paradi. Se renmen ak tout kè ki ka pote lapè.
Renmen se solisyon Lanmou pa gen koulè Renmen se sèl espwa… Lanmou pa gen chèlbè. Se renmen ak tout kè ki ka pote lapè. Lanmou se solisyon. Renmen se sèl espwa. Go on and love.
Notre monde angoissé, envahi par la peur, Ne cesse de frapper aux portes du Bonheur. Que vous soyez puissant, mendiant ou misérable, Donner de son amour demeure incomparable. Go on and love.
Tande, tande…
Lanmou pa gen koulè, lanmou pa gen baryè, Lanmou pa gen chèlbè… Go on and love.

Listen, listen
Love has no color, love has no barriers, Go on and love.
Citizens of the world, this concerns us all, All veins reach the heart - we are humanity. Love has no color, love does not boast. Love without prejudice surpasses all barriers.
Hatred and violence are the worst illness. Wickedness and war don’t create paradise. It’s loving wholeheartedly that can bring peace.
Loving is the answer Love has no color Loving is the only hope Love does not boast. It’s loving wholeheartedly that can bring peace. Love is the answer Loving is the only hope. *Go on and love.
Our anguished world, conquered by fear, Never ceases to knock at the doors of Salvation. It matters not if you are powerful, a beggar or miserable, To give of your love remains incomparable.
*Go on and love.
Listen, listen…
Love has no color, love has no barriers, Love does not boast… *Go on and love.
