Lyrics - Haitian Creole
(Haitian folk song)
Dodo, maringouin dodo.
Dodo, maringouin dodo.
Trois heu d’ouvant jou’
Bigaill piquer moin.
Moin pas connain position
Moin ve!
Dodo, dodo maringouin.
English Translation - Sleep mosquitos sleep
Sleep, mosquitos, sleep.
Sleep, mosquitos, sleep.
Three hours before dawn
Mosquitos begin to sting.
I know not which position
To shift to!
Sleep, mosquitos, sleep.
