Lyrics
I don’t know what to do
– Mwen pa konnen sa pou m fè
Thought I was righteously leading our people, but
– Te panse mwen te jisteman ki mennen pèp nou an, men
Now I’m faced with the truth
– Kounye a mwen fè fas ak verite a
What kind of leader can’t tell good from evil?
– Ki kalite lidè ki pa ka di bon nan sa ki mal?
All those poor souls, how many could have been saved?
– Tout moun sa yo pòv nanm, konbyen te kapab sove?
How could I trust in a justice so cruel and depraved?
– Ki jan mwen te ka fè konfyans nan yon jistis konsa mechan ak deprav?
One seeks an answer that one can not grant her
– Yon moun ap chèche yon repons ke yon moun pa ka bay li
You’re looking for light only you can ignite
– Ou ap chèche pou limyè sèlman ou ka limen
Every transgression must serve as a lesson
– Chak transgresyon dwe sèvi kòm yon leson
Yesterday, you drew sorrow
– Yè, ou te trase lapenn
What will you do tomorrow?
– Kisa w ap fè demen?
I feel no wiser than when I commanded the slaughter of those sons and daughters
– Mwen pa santi mwen pi saj pase lè mwen te kòmande masak pitit gason ak pitit fi sa yo
(You can’t hide)
– (Ou pa ka kache)
How can I be sure I don’t repeat more massacre based on mistaken conceit?
– Ki jan mwen ka asire w ke mwen pa repete plis masak ki baze sou erè vanite?
(Look inside)
– (Gade anndan)
If I stand down and leave us exposed, would that be blind to the threat Hell may pose?
– Si mwen kanpe epi kite nou ekspoze, ta sa avèg nan menas Lanfè Ka poze?
You can’t know, though time flows on
– Ou pa ka konnen, byenke tan ap koule sou
So you must bear the cross bestowed upon you
– Se konsa ou dwe pote kwa a akòde sou ou
Take pity, I pray
– Pran pitye, mwen priye
Give me a sign, what’s your guidance?
– Ban m yon siy, ki sa ki gid ou?
Please show me the way
– Tanpri montre m wout la
You speak of choices made by other voices
– Ou pale de chwa ki fèt pa lòt vwa
You can only atone (Tell me how to atone)
– Ou ka sèlman peye (Di m kijan pou peye)
Once you speak with your own
– Yon fwa ou pale ak pwòp ou a
If souls from damnation
– Si nanm soti nan kondanasyon
Can earn their salvation
– Kapab touche delivrans yo
And find their forgiveness on high
– Epi jwenn padon yo sou segondè
How do I?
– Ki jan mwen fè?
