Haiti Cherie

(앨범: Belafonte Sings Of The Caribbean - 1957)

Haiti Cherie says, Haiti is my beloved land
Oh, I never knew that I have to leave you to understand
Just how much I miss the gallant Citadel
Where days long ago, brave men served this country well

Where sun is bright or evening with soft moonlight
Shading tree, Creole maiden for company
A gentle breeze, a warm caress if you please
Work, laughter and play, yes, we'll always be this way

Haiti Cherie, now I've returned to your soil so dear
Let me hear again, the things that give music to my ear
The lone shepherd's horn that welcomes the rising morn
When roads overflow as crowds to iron market go

Where sun is bright or evening with soft moonlight
Shading tree, Creole maiden for company
A gentle breeze, a warm caress if you please
Work, laughter and play, yes, we'll always be this way
