There are some kids that are tall, there are some that are short and some are skinny.
Genyen moun ki t'a kouri, genyen ki t'ap mache, enpi rès you te chita atè a.
There were some people who were running, some were walking, and the rest were sitting on the ground.

And regarding your other question:)
You probably heard:
Pa gen anyen k' rete (contracted)
Pa gen anyen ki rete (non-contracted)
There's nothing left.
how do you say chorus
Chorus (of a song) → kè
Stanza (verse of a song) → refren
song → chan, chante, chanson
choir → koral
Short hymns (like the B-I-B-L-E) are also called kè
musical band → gwoup, benn
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...)
