Hi, I teach Head Start 3 year olds and several speak Haitian Creole. I would like to perform a simple Christmas song. Do you have sugestions? I do not speak it. LOL but am willing to learn. Thanks

Perhaps the most common Haitian Creole Christmas song is Depi lontan nan Bètleyèm sung to the tune of Long Time Ago in Bethlehem
Maybe one of the kids' parents can help you with the rhythm.

Depi Lontan Nan Bètleyèm (Long Time Ago in Bethlehem)

1.
Depi lontan nan Bètleyèm, se labib ki di nou sa
Pitit gason Mari a, Jezi te fèt nan jou Nowèl la
chorus:
Koute zanj yo ap chante, louwanj sot nan syèl la
Lèzòm ap viv etènèlman akoz de jou Nowèl la

2.
Jozèf ak madanm ni Mari, te rive nan vil Bètleyèm
Pa’t gen plas pou Mari akouche, menm yon chanm yo pa’t kapab jwenn

3.
Tande zanj yo ap chante, louwanj sot nan syel la
Lèzòm ap viv etènèlman akoz de jou Nowèl la

Fish heads is considered disgusting to eat, especially the eyes. Is it the same in Haiti?

I didn't know that it was.  You can make some good bouyon and soup with fish heads (tèt pwason).  And if the fish is fried, you just eat the crunchy meat off the head.  As far as the fish eyes is concerned, it has no taste.  It does feel like wax or plastic under your teeth, but some kids like to eat it until it becomes a small pearly pellet.  I'm not sure if that would be considered disgusting here in the US.

do you got the lyrics to il est le roi le roi il est le seigneur de seigneur in kreyol

Yes, I am very familiar with that song.  A lady from L'Eglise De Dieu de la Prophetie de Miami #2 named Sè Jakòt used to sing it in Creole.  And these were her exact lyrics:

Jezi se wa dè wa
Li se le Senyè dè Senyè
Non li se Jezi, Jezi, jezi!
O! Jezi se Wa!

she used to add:

Si m pa gen sovè m nan
Kouman m ta fè mache (3 fwa)
Si m pa gen sovè m nan

Kouman m ta fè mache 

Kouman m ta fè mache tout bon

If you are caucasian, this may be hard, but not impossible :)
And if you are not caucasian, you might as well be.  Haitians can spot a foreigner very easily.  You walk different, talk different, ... you have a different stance.  Some Haitians have even joked that even if you were as black as them, they could tell you're not Haitians by looking at you.  Sometimes your skin, black or white, reveals that you're not drinking the same water as they are.

I used to go to a Christian church in Haiti.  There were some  missionaries there.  One caucasian young woman especially was very shy (I supposed).  She sat in the remotest area of the church.  She never spoke to us (us→church members and youth). When church services end, she walks straight to her little house on the church yard.  Sometimes she'll shake hands with a few church members.  But that's all.
As opposed to this other missionary, a middle-aged caucasian man.  He was always out on foot in the neighborhoods near the church, bartering at the markets, playing soccer on the dusty, rocky, non grassy terrain of the church with us, sweating under the same sun as us, and drinking the same water we drink from a water well.  He spoke a broken Creole (We, Haitians, find that endearing.  Whether your Creole is good or not, it's important to show us that you're trying).  We use to laugh and say lan li lou his tongue is heavy (that's what we say of people that have a heavy Creole accent).  Someone even told me that they saw him carrying a jar of water on his head (Typical Haitian thing to do, but I'm not sure he could have pulled that off :).  The point is he didn't shy away from the natives. He engaged with us.  Once he drank the same parasite-infested water that we drank, we figured, "hey he's natifnatal because he's being eaten away by the same parasites that are consuming us."

If there's one thing that Haitians can do very well, it's to stare at you.  They might even gather up into a small crowd to just look at you.  They do it to diasporas and to foreigners.  My take is they're just trying to figure you out.  so, once you engage with them the novelty will wear off and they'll see you as one of them: a total kapital natifnatal.

How do I know when to use the pronouns 'li' vs 'se' at the beginning of a sentence? Mesi.

li is a personal pronoun.  It refers to a particular subject..
se is an expression which is actually se, li se OR sa se.  It is used in many impersonal expressions.

a "moun ki gen madichon" is a "person who is cursed" right? Cursed by whom?

Yes it does mean "cursed", but it is also about someone being bold, daring, reckless, unrespectable and sometimes described as having a death wish.

1. Ti fi sa pa respekte ni manman'l ni papa'l, li gen madichon.
2. Moun k'ap kouri motosiklèt san kas nan tèt yo, se moun ki gen madichon.
3. Mesye te bay patwon travay li a yon gwo kout pwen.  Li gen madichon.

What fanm total kapital literally means?

O O! yon fanm total kapital is a woman who's got everything :)
She's built with God's own two hands (as the Haitians say)
She's not dependent.  She's a self starter, not afraid to get her hands dirty.  She knows her a way around the kitchen and the bedroom, ...and probably has a golden V-, as my mom would say :)

If you're looking for one of them.  Fortunately you won't have to look far.  These fanm total kapital are most moms, daughters, grandmas, aunts, sisters, and nieces that I see around me every place or country I go.
