lyrics

Emperor Dessalines, oh you're a fine fellow
What did they think they could do to us,
When this country is already in our hands?
Oh, Dessalines, oh, Dessalines you're a terrific bastard,
A fine man indeed. Better to die than run, run away.
That at least we could understand.
Dessalines, Dessalines, the powerful. Long live liberty!
Dessalines, stiff and ferocious,
Can knock on your heart with his nose in your snuff box.
Was Ogu your friend? Was Iron your companion?
Fifty bayonets quenched their thirst.
Dessalines, oh Dessalines,
Lead from their rifles sang louder than we did.
Emperor, Emperor!
Still we were anxious, to walk on our homeland,
a song on our tongues and bullets in our pockets.
Long Live Liberty. Ayibobo
