Yon sèl pitit ki tout lavi mwen

Men li kouche men la pe mouri

Yon grenn zanfan ki sèl soutyen mwen

Li vle kite m, Bondye va sove l


Ou wè mwen san fanmi

Ou wè mwen san zanmi

Si ou kite l ale,  

ki moun ka konsole m?


Papa Bondye

tande priyè mwen

Se ou k ban mwen l

Se ou k pou sove l

One child who is my whole life

he is lying there dying

Only one child who is my only support

He wants to leave me, God will save him


You know I have no family

You know I am friendless

If you let it go,

who will comfort me?


Dear God

hear my prayer

You gave him to me

You have to save him
