Lè tenèb yo vini rasanble epi silans anvayi,

Yon ti mizik ka pote lavi; li ka fè tout moun souri.

Mizik sa pran rasin nan kè nou pou l gaye nan tout mond lan.

Vwa nou kòmans’on bèl amoni ak yon lanmou an granjan.

Lè doulè yo pran vini pi di epi tristès la blayi,

Yon melodi ka ba nou lespwa; li ka ba nou kè poze.

Lespwa sa grandi anndan nanm nou; li bann fòs pou nou vanse.

Vwa nou kòmanse chante ansanm ak yon fòs ki san mezi.

Tè a ak Syèl la tranble; Lalin ak Soley klere.

Yon koral fèt yon kote laverite paka kache.

Li chante Lavi, li chante Lespwa,

Lanmou ak Lajwa!

Li chante limyè ki klere lavi nou.

"Chante! Chante! Chante ak tout kè nou!"

Chante Lanmou! Chante Lajwa!

Chante Lavi! Chante Lespwa!

Pa rete ansilans.

Kè nou pat fèt pou laperèz ak rayisans,

men pou lanmou ak konpasyon.

“Nou se limyè. Nou se flanm dife.

Nou chante nan fènwa. Nou leve vwa yo.

Nou chante konpasyon ak lapè.

Nou chante jouktan lonbraj yo ale.”

An nou chante!

When darkness gathers and silence overwhelms,

A little music can bring life; it can make everyone smile.

This music takes root in our hearts to spread throughout the world.

Our voices begin a beautiful harmony with great love.

When the pains become more intense and the sadness spreads,

A melody can give us hope; it can give us peace.

This hope grows within our souls; it gives us strength to move forward.

Our voices begin to sing together with a strength beyond measure.

The Earth and Sky tremble; Moon and Sun shine bright.

A chorus is born in a place where truth cannot hide.

It sings Life, it sings Hope,

Love and Joy!

It sings light that illuminates our lives.

"Sing! Sing! Sing with all your hearts!"

Sing Love! Sing Joy!

Sing Life! Sing Hope!

Do not remain silent.

Our hearts were not made for fear and hatred,

but for love and compassion.

“We are the light. We are the flame of fire.

We sing in darkness. We lift up voices.

We sing compassion and peace.

We sing until the shadows disappear.”

Let’s sing!
