Lakansyèl - Émile Roumer

In the darkest of nights,
A rainbow emerges,
Arching across the sky,
A symbol of hope.

Haitian people, resilient souls,
Weathering storms and overcoming strife,
Lakansyèl, a reminder,
That brighter days shall come.

From the ashes of struggle,
A nation rises,
Strong and proud,
Unbreakable, unconquerable.

Lakansyèl, a beacon of strength,
Guiding Haiti's path,
A testament to the indomitable spirit,
Of a people united.

Émile Roumer (1903 - 1988) Haiti
