ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF THE SONG
While I am walking
I was searching for my true Identity
The lord sent an angel to tell me that I Creole
Yes, I am a Creole.(repeat)
After deep reflection, I agree that I am Creole
Yes, I am a Creole. (repeat)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (repeat)
But Haitians rather speak French instead of speaking Creole
Haitians rather speak English instead of speaking Creole
Haitians rather speak Spanish instead of speaking Creole
We have to embrace our Creole Identity
Yes, we are Creole.
We are Negro from Congo. We need to know that 
We are Negro for Guinea. We need to know that
Yes we are the same, Jamaican, Trinidadian.
We are from Africa, we will go to Africa
Africa is our mother
Africa is our Father.
