Lyrics - French
(Haitian folk tune, Lyrics by Élise Moreau)
Toi si bonne, toi si parfaite,
Qui nous aime avec tant d’amour,
Maman c’est aujourd’hui ta fête.
Pour tes enfants, quel heureux jour.
English Translation – You’re so good
You, so good, you, so perfect,
Who loves us with so much love,
Mom, it’s your birthday today,
For your children, what a happy day.
