Ça ki rès dan Gran Sip-la

Joli Gran Sip, pli gran
Plin majik, plin listwa
tap tap tap
Gin koté pa wayab
Karankro sip prenn lè dan Tourn Nanglé
Yé volé vit kan yé tendé Gran Sip
Hélé en yé pou protéjé
Sô vyé vyé gro pyé
Dèriyè, ènn kréyatir kashé
Séyé kasé in morso
Gran Sip pou chombo
Mé li t’olé prenn dé
Sô envi pou kado
Fé li shish jish asé
Pou karankro sip-layé
Vini lashé li sî boskoyo

What Lives in the Great Cypress

Beautiful Great Cypress
Magical and Storied
tap tap tap
Has unseen sides
Cypress vultures takes flight in English Turn
They soar quickly when they hear Great Cypress
Holler for their protection
Of its old massive base
Behind, one creature hides
Trying to break off a piece
Of Great Cypress to keep
“But just one more, please”
His want for such a gift
Filled him with greed
So the cypress vultures
Came dropped him on a knee
