Great site! I thought the last chorus of Jeze Renmen Mwen was (PHONETICALLY) sapa fem ah ye la, si sata li em way ( I don't know how to spell it properly in Kreyole) Please set me straight. Thanks, Dawn

Hey Dawn, Here it is :)

1. Ala m kontan, Jezi renmen mwen (3 fwa)
Glwa Alelouya! Jezi renmen mwen.

2. Sa pa fè m anyen la, si satan rayi mwen (3 fwa)
Glwa Alelouya! Jezi renmen mwen.

3. Sote! ponpe! Jezi renmen mwen (3 fwa)
Glwa Alelouya! Jezi renmen mwen.

Verse 2 has another slightly different version:

2. Sa pa fè m anyen si satan rayi mwen (3 fwa)
Glwa Alelouya! Jezi renmen mwen

Bonjou mezanmi!  Mwen salye nou tout.  Kouman nou ye?

Hello!  Greetings to all.  How are you?

YOUN & LÒT → ONE and THE OTHER


YOUN → one


Mwen gen youn - I have one

Ban m youn. - Give me one.

For indefinite article, use YON


Yon kay - a house

Yon liv - a book


Some Haitians still say:  Youn kay (a house), Youn liv (a book), Youn moun (a person)


EACH OTHER & ONE ANOTHER


1. An nou youn ede lòt.

   Let us help each other.


2. Nou youn bezwen lòt, pou n kapab siviv.

    We need each other , in order to survive.


3. Joujou ak Cameau se de bon zanmi.  Youn aji byen ak lòt.

    Joujou and Cameau are two good friends.  They treat each other well.


4. Depi premye jou yo te rankontre a, youn te tonbe pou lòt.
    Since the first day they met, they fell for each other

5. Si w mete gode yo youn sou lòt, y’ap kole.
    If you stack the cups one on top of the other, they’ll get stuck.


6. Pwoblèm yo te vini youn apre lòt.

    Pwoblèm yo te vini youn dèyè lòt.

    The problems came one after the other.


7. Yo te padone youn lòt.  Se sa’k fè yo tout te kontan.

    They forgave one another.  That’s why they were all happy.


8. Nou aprann nan men* youn lòt.

    Nou aprann youn nan men lòt

    We learn from one another.

    *nan men means from

    example:

    Mwen aprann nan men w. → I learn from you.

    Mwen resevwa l nan men w. → I receive it from you.


9. Respè yo genyen youn pou lòt, se bèl bagay.

    The respect they have for one another is a beautiful thing.

    Respè pou


10. Tout bagay te vin byen lè yo te koumanse pale youn ak lòt .
      Everything became well, when they started to speak to one another.

     Everything fell into place, when they started to speak to one another.

    Pale ak


11. Leve kanpe se youn, men koumanse mache se yon lòt koze

     To stand up is one thing, but to start walking is a different story.


Se tout pou jodi a.  Mèsi.  E mwen swete nou anpil lanmou pandan semèn sent lan.

That's all for today.  Thanks.  And I wish you lots of love during the Holy Week.


Listen to the beautiful Creole Lyrics of this song :)


Tout lanmou sa  by Genesis for Him


Lyrics:

Dèfwa mwen leve lè maten

Mwen di m’a gen tan priye

E lè mwen retounen leswa

Mwen di m twò fatige

Men sa mwen pa wè, etan m’ap mache

Se zanj ou, ou voye

Pou gide pa mwen, pou m pa tonbe

Ala m pa merite.


Tout lanmou  sa a

Ou gen pou mwen

Mwen pap janm ka konprann

Pouki ou renmen m.


Dèfwa ou chita  nan yon kwen katye

Ou mande m degouden

Mwen pase  m gade, epi m’ale

Avèk pòch mwen byen plen

Men sa mwen bliye

Ke se ou  k’ ban mwen tout sa mwen posede

Mwen pa vle peye dim ak ofrann

Ala m pa merite


Si ou te egoyis

Menm jan avèm

Mwen ta gen tan mouri

Pou bagay ke mwen konnen mwen fè

Ak tout sa w’asepte

Malgre tout inikite mwen yo

Ak tout sa m renmen

M’ap di ou mèsi pou chak jou

Ou toujou padone m.


Mwen vle chanje pou m ka merite

Tout lanmou sa ke ou gen pou mwen

i give myself away

I give myself away (by William McDowell?)

I give myself away

Mwen renmet ou tèt mwen
So you can use me
Pou ou sèvi ak mwen


Here I am, Here I stand
Wi, men mwen, men m kanpe
Lord my life is in your hands
Senyè, lavi mwen nan men w
Lord, I'm longing to see you desires revealed in me
Senyè, m'anvi wè dezi ou yo revele nan mwen


Take my heart take my life
Pran kè mwen, pran lavi'm
as a living sacrifice
Tankou'on sakrifis vivan
all my dreams, all my plans
Tout rèv mwen, tout plan mwen
Lord I place them in your hands
Senyè m'plase yo nan men w


My life is not my own, to you I belong
Lavi mwen pa pou mwen, Se pou ou li ye
I give myself, I give myself to you
Mwen renmèt mwen, Mwen renmèt tèt mwen ba ou

_____________

I give myself away (to someone?, to something?)

I give myself to (someone)
Mwen remèt tèt mwen bay (someone)
Mwen lage tèt mwen nan men (someone)

I give myself to (something)
Mwen lage tèt mwen nan (something)

Ask me anything

Ala yon sovè espesyal mwen genyen lyrics - thanks :)

  
He hideth my soul (in Creole)

Ala yon sovè espesyal mwen genyen

Ala yon bon sovè pou mwen

Li kache nanm mwen anba gwo wòch la

Kote dlo lavi a ap koule

Li kache nanm mwen andedan gwo wòch la

Li kouvri m anba lonbraj li

Kounye a m’konnen lavi mwen asire

M’pa pè sa k’ap rive'm demen

Li toujou konble mwen ak benediksyon

Li ranpli’m a gras, li beni m

Ala yon redanmtè mwen pa ka bliye

Ede m chante yon chan pou li

Ala yon sovè espesyal mwen genyen

Li pran tout fado'm yo pou mwen

Li mete'm byen wo pou pye m pa fè bitay

E li ban yon fòs san parèy

M'asire m Nan Kris lyrics, do you have it?

M'asire'm Nan Kris 
by Remy Lochard

 

M’asire’m nan Kris I assure myself in Christ

Mwen jwenn sekirite I find safety

M’asire’m nan Kris I assure my self in Christ

Sitiyasyon lavi m chanje My life's situation has changed

Jezi s’on bon zanmi Jesus is a good friend

Ki pa janm lage m nan wout Who will never abandon me

Menm si tout moun kite m Even if everybody else leaves me

Li toujou la pou li ede m He's always there to help me

Genyen yon fwa m te santi m sèl One time, I felt all alone

Mwen te fin dekouraje I was discouraged

Tèlman gwo van yo t’ap soufle because of the violent storm

Jezi te toujou la pou li ede m Jesus was always there to help me

Pafwa se dyab rasyal Sometimes it's the devil from our roots

Pafwa se pòch mawon Sometimes it's a crook

Pafwa se bon zanmi Sometimes it's a good friend

Ki pa vle wè m pwogrese That doesn't want me to progress

Pafwa gen lòt ki di Sometimes other people say

Ou menm ou pa janm anyen You will never be anything

Yon sèl bagay mwen konnen One thing I know

Dosye m nan nan men Jezi Kri My file/dossier in Jesus Christ's hands

Zanmi m, si w gen pwoblèm My friend, if you're troubled

Ou santi w dekouraje You feel discouraged

Tout pòt fèmen pou ou All doors are closed to you

Pa gen pèsòn ki pou ede w There's no one who can help you

Si doktè kondane w If the doctor's have condemned you

Si ou pa gen lavi If there's no hope of life

Tout moun pèdi espwa Everyone has lost hope

Ou mèt vin asire w nan kris You may assure yourself in Christ

Asire w nan kris Assure yourself in Christ

Wa jwenn sekirite You will find safety

Asire w nan Kris Assure yourself in Christ

Wa wè sitiyasyon w chanje You situation will change

M’asire m… I assure myself

Nan Jezi m’asire m In Jesus I assure myself

Gen lavi… There's life

Nan Jezi lavi In Jesus there's life

Gen sante… There's health

Nan Jezi gen sante In Jesus there's health

Gen lanmou There's love

Nan Jezi gen lanmou In Jesus there's love

Jezi..., Jezi..., Jezi...

Yaweh…, Yaweh..., Yaweh...

El Shaddai…, El Shaddai..., El Shaddai...

Sa jezi fè pou mwen What Jesus had done for me

M pa ka kite L……. I can't leave Him

je crois en Jesus-alabanza lyric

Je crois en Jésus (I believe in Jesus)

 

As sung at the "Concert D'adoration du pasteur chantre Emmanuel APATA"
French Version
Je crois en Jésus
Je crois qu’il est le fils de Dieu
Je crois qu’iI est mort et ressuscité
Je crois quil a payé pour tous
Et Je crois qu’il est ici
Présent au milieu de nous
Tout puissant pour nous guérir
Et par sa grâce nous pardonné

Je crois en toi seigneur
Je crois tu es le Fils de Dieu
Après ta mort Dieu t’a ressuscité
Je crois tu as payé pour tous
Et je crois que tu es là
Présent au milieu de nous
Tout puissant pour nou guérir
Et par ta grâce nous pardonné


O O O Je crois en Jésus!


Haitian Creole Version

Mwen kwè nan Jezi

Mwen kwè li se pitit Bondye

Mwen kwè li mouri e resisite

Mwen kwè li peye tout pou nou

E mwen kwè li isit la

Prezan nan mitan nou tout

Tou pisan pou geri nou

E padone nou ak gras Li

Mwen kwè nan Ou Senyè

Mwen kwè ou se pitit Bondye

Aprè lanmò w, Bondye resisite w

Mwen kwè ou peye tout pou nou

E mwen kwè li isit la

Prezan nan mitan nou tout

Tou pisan pou geri nou

E padone nou ak gras Li

what are some common english hymns that they also sing in creole?

Haitian Creole songbooks with music score: http://sweetcoconuts.blogspot.com/2011/06/do-you-know-of-any-christian-creole.html

Here's an image of the table of  contents in the back of the songbook called Chants D'Esperance:

It is a list of Creole hymns in the book which have English Airs.

Ask me anything

paske mwen anba san anyo ali effacer tout pechem yo......yo pa pre isitpaske m anba san anyo ado you have the complete lyrics to this song?

I wish I had a better audio for this popouri (medley). But, here it is.
The song you're looking for is the third one from the popouri.
You may fast foward to find it.
Also the lyrics are included here.

*Note:  In Haitian worship songs, you will find a lot of "ad libs".  It is not uncommon for Haitians to add the names of people they wish to pray for in their worship songs, since the song is a prayer to them. 

So you'll find that the worship leader adds people's names in the song (his family, acquaintances from the church, etc...)

Lyrics:

An nou ale lakay yaweh
An nou ale lakay Yaweh (3 fwa)
Let's go to Yaweh's house
Pou n’al rakonte L pwoblèm nou yo
To go tell Him our problems

Men nou rive lakay yaweh (3 fwa)
Here we are at Yaweh's house
N’ pral jwenn solisyon pou pwoblèm nou yo
We're going to find a solution to our problems
Ad lib:
Nou pral jwenn solisyon pou pwoblèm nou yo.
We're going to find a solution to our problems.


O wi! sa pral mache
O wi! sa pral mache
Oh yes! it is going to be ok
Paske Kris o kouran
Because Christ is aware
L’ap aji pou mwen,
He will act on my behalf
Pwoblèm mwen yo nan men L.
My problems are now in his hands


Mwen kache m anba san anyo a
Mwen kache m anba san anyo a

If i were a bird, i could flap my wings to give GOd glory. If i were a tree i would sing my branches to give GOd glory. Im not a tree and Im not a bird, but with my hands I will give GOd glory.

Yes, it’s a very short song

Si m te zwazo, mwen ta vole
Ak zèl mwen yo m’ap bay Bondye glwa

Si m te pye bwa, m ta balanse
Ak branch mwen yo m'ap bay Bondye glwa

Mwen pa zwazo, mwen pa pye bwa

Ak men mwen yo m’ap bay bondye glwa

Ak pye mwen yo m’ap bay Bondye glwa

Mèveye, Mèveye, Sovè mwen mèveye
Wonderful, wonderful, my savior is wonderful
or
Mèveye, mèveye, Sovè ou mèveye
Wonderful, wonderful, savior you're wonderful
or
Mèveye, mèveye, Jezi ou mèveye
Wonderful, wonderful, Jesus you're wonderful

Jezi ou merite glwa
Jesus you're worthy of glory
Pou m ba ou glwa
To give you glory

Jezi ou merite vre
Jesus you're truly worthy
Pou m ba ou glwa
To give you glory

El shaddai ou merite vre
El Shaddai you're truly worthy
Pou m ba ou glwa
To give you glory

Sovè mwen merite vre
My savior is truly worthy
Pou m ba ou glwa
To give you glory


There's also another Creole song (Michael Benjamin's Si m te gen zèl)  which is somewhat similar to the one above.  Truly beautiful lyrics by Renond

Vole, vole...
fly, fly...

Vole, vole keyi zetwal nan syèl
fly, fly, gather the stars in the sky
Vole, m ta vole...
Fly, I would fly...


Si m te gen zèl,
I I had wings,
tankou yon zwazo, m ta vole, al keyi zetwal nan syèl.
like a bird, I would fly , to gather stars in the sky
Si m te lapli,
If I were the rain
Mwen ta jete dlo, pou m wouze flè k pouse anba solèy.
I would drop water to spray the flowers growing under the sun
Si m te lajwa,
If I were joy.
M ta antre nan kè, tout malere pou yo kapab jwenn lespwa.
I would enter the heart of the unfortunates to give them hope.
Si m te lanmou,
If I were love
M ta met ajenou, devan Bondye pou lèzòm kabab sispann goumen.
I would kneel before God so that humanity would stop fighting
Yo ta renmen.
They would love

M ta fè tout mòn blanch yo rebwaze,
I would reforest the barren hills
Tout sous ki seche, rekòmanse koule,
All dried up springs, start flowing again
Si m te gen pouvwa pou mwen chanje,
If I had power to change
Tout sa m dezire.
Whatever I desire
Mwen ta bani tout trayizon,
I would bannish all treason
Tout sa ki malad ta jwenn lagerizon,
All the sick would find healing
Tout sa ta pwouve saj yo te gen rezon.
All that would prove the wise were right

M' ta fè tout sa k' grangou jwenn manje,
I would give food to the hungry
Sa k' nan lesklavaj, ta va jwenn libète,
The captives would go free
Si m te gen pouvwa pou mwen chanje,
If I had power to change
Tout sa m dezire.
Whatever I desire
Mwen ta fè tout zam tounen jwèt,
I would turn weapons into toys
Move zentansyon, santiman disparèt,
corrupt intentions and ambitions disappear
Si m te ka chante pou m chase mechanste
If I could sing to chase away naughtiness

Ask me anything

Where can I find the words to the song "Eske ou vle ale lakay papa mwen"?

It's in the "kè Kreyòl" #23. Kè Kreyòl is the group of short Creole hymns in Chants d'Esperance that comes after the longer 145 Creole hymns.

Tout bagay va byen
Lakay Papa mwen (twa fwa)
Tout bagay va byen lakay Papa mwen
Genyen jwa jwa jwa

Pa va gen peche
Lakay Papa mwen (twa fwa)
Pa va gen peche lakay Papa mwen
Genyen jwa jwa jwa

Mwen vle ale la
Lakay Papa mwen (twa fwa)
Mwen vle ale la lakay Papa mwen
Genyen jwa jwa jwa

Eske w vle ale
Lakay Papa mwen (twa fwa)
Eske w vle ale lakay Papa mwen
Genyen jwa jwa jwa

Ask me anything

have you ever heard the song "mwen te wè li, mwen konnen li. li fe mwen mache ave'l ..."if so do you know the rest of the chorus?

Yes, it should be #93 of the Creole portion of the Chants D'Esperance.

Mape mache sèl ak Jezi

Nan yon kominyon diven

Lemonn pa kab fè m plezi

Mwen pou Kris e Kris pou mwen

Mwen te wè li, mwen konnen li

E li fè mwen mache avè l

E li fè m kado prezans li

Se yon kado etènèl

Ki gran glwa diven prezans li

Ki gran jwa wè li fas a fas

Mwen ba li lavi m pou tout tan

Li te genyen m pa la gras

Sou montay la mwen te wè li

Kris, konsolatè, zanmi

La glwa vizyon sa va rete

Jouk tan lavi mwen fini.....

Ask me anything

Can you please find the lyrics to the haitian hymn in english/creole"wawòm ou ap grandi"(wowòm, i'm not sure of spelling) in case you aren't sure of the song, part of the chorus says:ou abite nan kay ki kap fet ak men l'om .....ou fem wè splande'w

This is what I've found. I am not familiar with this song. It looks like it's missing part of the first stanza. Let me know if I should keep looking.

Bondye beni w :)

1
Wayòm ou ap grandi pou glwa ou
Your kingdom is flourishing for your glory
prezans ou anvayi tout latè
Your presence abounds over all the earth

Kè
Ou abite nan kay ki pa fèt ak men lòm
You reside in a house that's not made by men
Ou abite nan yon kay ki ka mache
You reside in a house  that glorifies
Pou fè wè grandè w
your greatness
Pou fè wè splandè w
your splendor

2
Yon kay ke w te chwazi
A house that you chose
Avan menm monn nan te kreye
Before the world was created
Ou te jistifye-l, ou sanktifye-l , ou te glorifye-l
You justified it, sanctified it, glorified it
Pou glwa ou
For your glory

Ou abite nan moun ki imaj Jezikri
You reside within those who are the image of Christ
Moun ki dakò pou yo tounen tanp Sentespri
People who agree to become a temple for the Holy Spirit
Ou abite nan mwen
You reside in me
Ou plen tout chanm kay mwen
You fill up all the rooms in my house
Ou plen- m ak pisans ou
You fill me up with your power
Ou plen-m ak onksyon ou
You fill me up with your ointment
Ou abite nan mwen
You reside in me

Hi, I'm looking for a way to find some Hatian Creole Christian recordings. I am especially looking for the song 'Gen yon jou ka vini.' also a song 'Jezi se kapitann mwen.' Any ideas would be very appreciated. thanks!

Download link for this song:
http://limanecasimi.audioacrobat.com/download/06236b63-137f-7a5e-31b4-4f1078ba7895.mp3
Jezi Se Kapitènn mwen?
I am not sure whether this is the song.  That's the only one I found with this title.  Actually the title is "Jezi Se Sovè m".



Mape rete, mape rete fè m (bis)
Kou yon pye bwa ki plante bò rivyè a
Wi, mape rete fèm.

Jezi se sovè mwen, mape rete fèm
Mwen pap manke anyen, mape rete fèm
Kou yon pye bwa ki plante bò rivyè a
Wi mape rete fèm

Jezi ban mwen lavi, mape rete fèm
Kache anba zèl li, mape rete fèm
Kou yon pye bwa ki plante bò rivyè a, Wi, mape rete fèm.


Ak yon fwa byen vivan, mape rete fèm
Gras li rann mwen pisan, mape rete fè m
Kou yon pye bwa ki plante bò rivyè a, Wi, mape rete fèm.

Gen Yon Jou Kap Vini (Ki Gran Jou)

Gen yon jou kap vini, jou sa pap genyen chagren
Pap gen nyaj nan syèl la, ni gwo dlo pou twouble je m
Va gen la pè pou tout tan, nan bèl ti vil dò sa a
Ki gran jou, jou glorye sa va ye


Ki gran jou sa va ye, lè na rankontre Jezi
E mwen va gade figi L, Li men ki sove m pa gras
Lè li va kenbe men mwen, pou L mennen m nan tè pwomès la
Ki gran jou, jou glorye sa va ye


Pape gen yen tristès, ni fado pou nou pote
Ni maladi ni doulè, ni pataj nan peyi sa
Va gen la pè pou tout tan, nan bèl ti vil dò sa a
Ki gran jou, jou glorye sa va ye

Ou menm ki san Jezi, sa ou va fè nan jou sa
Men Jezi pral vini, pòt lagras la pral fèmen
Kolè Bondye pral tonbe sou tout moun ki san Jezi
Ki gran jou, jou glorye sa va ye

 *will upload "Jezi Se kapitèn Mwen" soon :)

Si m te gen zèl,
I I had wings,
tankou yon zwazo, m ta vole, al keyi zetwal nan syèl.
like a bird, I would fly , to gather stars in the sky
Si m te lapli,
If I were the rain
Mwen ta jete dlo, pou m wouze flè k pouse anba solèy.
I would drop water to spary the flowers growing under the sun
Si m te lajwa,
If I were joy
M ta antre nan kè, tout malere pou yo kapab jwenn lespwa.
I would enter the heart of the unfortunates to give them hope
Si m te lanmou,
If I were love
M ta met ajenou, devan Bondye pou lèzòm kabab sispann goumen.
I would kneel before God so that humanity would stop fighting
Yo ta renmen.
They would love.


M ta fè tout mòn blanch yo rebwaze,
I would reforest the barren hills
Tout sous ki seche, rekòmanse koule,
All dried up springs, start flowing again
Si m te gen pouvwa pou mwen chanje,
If I had power to change
Tout sa m dezire.
Whatever I desire
Mwen ta bani tout trayizon,
I would bannish all treason
Tout sa ki malad ta jwenn lagerizon,
All the sick would find healing
Tout sa ta pwouve saj yo te gen rezon.
All that would prove the wise were right


M ta fè tout sa k grangou jwenn manje,
I would give food to the hungry
Sa k nan lesklavaj, ta va jwenn libète
The captives would go free
Si m te gen pouvwa pou mwen chanje,
If I had power to change
Tout sa m dezire.
Whatever I desire
Mwen ta fè tout zam tounen jwèt,
I would turn weapons into toys
Move zentansyon, santiman disparèt,
corrupt intentions and ambitions disappear
Si m te ka chante pou m chase mechanste
If I could sing to chase away naughtiness

Ask me anything

Do you know any children's songs in Creole? Or any christian hymns? If so could you please post some lyrics? I have tried and tried to find some on the internet, but I can't find any....

Haitian Christian Hymn Book is called CHANTS D'ESPERANCE.
I have seen it at Amazon.com
It's in French and Creole.  It does not have the music scores, but it does have a list of all the Creole hymns and choruses having English airs.

I am posting one of the hymns here with lyrics.


Precious Lord
Chè Senyè, kenbe men m, ede mwen rete fèm
Mwen bouke fatige tèlman
Nan loraj, nan fènwa, klere wout la devan m
Kenbe men m, chè Senyè fè m rive

Lè chemen difisil, e m bezwen ou anpil
Senyè rete la tou pre mwen
Lè mwen prèt pou m ale, ede m pou m pa bite
Kenbe men m, chè Senyè fè m rive

Lè solèy la kouche, e nwit la  ap pwoche
E tout lavi mwen va fini
Ede m pa regrete nan ou sèl mwen konfye m
Kenbe men m, chè Senye fè m rive

Heaven Came Down and Glory Filled My Soul
Ala yon mèveye mèvèye jou
Jou m pa ka janmen bliye
Lè m te nan tenèb pèdi nan fènwa
Jezi sovè m mwen kontre
Ala yon zanmi ki gen charite
Li satisfè m ak gras li
Li pran tristès, e li banm alegrès
E li fè tout tenèb mwen pati


Syèl la desann, li plenn kè mwen ak la jwa
Lè sovè mwen te sove m pa la gras
Peche m tout padonen
Tenèb nan limyè tounen
Syèl desann li plen kè mwen ak lajwa

Les oignons
Les oignons, les oignons

(This is French)
Children make a line when singing this song. Each line has a leader. One leader is called the ‘sun’, the other, the ‘moon’. The “sun” and the “moon” face each other, join hands and form a bridge for the line to pass through. They start singing. At the end of the song the “sun” and the “moon” lower the bridge and ask the captured child, “who do you prefer, the sun or the moon?”. The child chooses to stand behind the sun or the moon. At the end of the game they count and see who has the most followers (the sun or the moon?). Some kids play this game while being blindfolded.
