HELLO! I am in a play called "Ragtime." There are two Haitian speaking parts that I am trying to find the translation for- we are immigrants coming to America:: 1. Gran mesi, Washington! 2. Ki ba nou Lamerik! Thank you for your time!

gran mesi (or granmèsi, gremèsi) → thanks to
Gran mèsi Washington! → Thanks to Washington!

Lamerik → America
Ki ban nou Lamerik! → who gave us America!
