LYRICS
Lè m’mouri, fè bèl vèy pou mwen
M’pa pral ni nan paradi ni nan lanfè
Pinga pè pale, laten nan tèt mwen.
Lè m’mouri, se pou tout moun byen ge
Ri, chante, danse, bay blag Pinga kriye, rele nan zòrèy mwen
Lè m’mouri, antere mwen nan lakou-a
Rasanble tout zanmi-m fè bèl fèt
Pinga pase legliz ak kadav mwen
Lè m’mouri, m’pa p’fin ale nèt tout kote k’ganyen bèl banbòch
Kote nèg lib, fò yo nonmen non mwen.
Felix Morisseau-Leroy from the Haitian Prom « Testaman"
TRANSLATION (English)
When I die, make me a beautiful wake
I’m going neither to paradise nor to hell
Don’t let a priest speak Latin to my head
When I die, bury me in the yard
Gather all my friends, make a big feast
Don’t go past the church with my corpse
When I die, everyone should really get happy
Laugh, sing, dance, tell jokes
Don’t bawl, yell into my ear
When I die, I won’t be completely gone
All the places where there were great bashes,
Where people are free - they’ll remember me.

I have not heard such beautiful voice and song in my life. Who created this heavenly song?

[@1930miracle]

@@JoachimHorsley Dear Juachim Your music on these words is the Ultimate beauty. I have been listening to classical music the whole my life. I think Mozart can fall to tears, from joy, in your rhythms and arrangement , in the “ Columbia Andante” I wish you could create beauty in the music of Bach, too.

[@JoachimHorsley]

A #FreeHaitiMovement Desalin post: * Testament, a poem by the iconic Haytian poet/writer, Felix Moriso Lewa (Félix Morisseau-Leroy) Testament When I die, do a beautiful wake for me. I'm not going to heaven or to hell. Let no priest pray over me. When I die, bury me in the yard. Gather all my friends and have a big party. Don't go to church with my dead body. When I die, let everyone really celebrate: Laugh, sing, dance and tell jokes. Don't cry, shout in my ears. When I die I will not be completely gone. Everywhere there are beautiful feasts, everywhere Black people are free, they're saying my name. * Testaman Lè m mouri, fè bèl vèy pou mwen M’pa pral ni nan paradi ni nan lanfè Pinga pè pale laten nan tèt mwen.
