Słowa do "Stranded (Haiti Mon Amour)"

Oto słowa piosenki, którą w czasie piątkowego koncertu "Hope For Haiti Now" wykonali Bono, The Edge, Jay-Z i Rihanna.

Wszystko zaczęło się od telefonu, który Bono dostał od producenta Swizz Beatza. Okazało się, że razem z Jayem-Z  chcą zrobić coś dla pogrążonego po trzęsieniu ziemi Haiti. Jeszcze tego samego wieczoru Bono i The Edge napisali i nagrali utwór, po czym gotowy odesłali do pomysłodawców akcji.

Wersja studyjna:
When the sky falls
And the earth quakes
We gonna put this back together
We won’t break
When the sky falls
And the earth quakes
We gonna put this back together
We won’t break

Sa Pa Sé
My Port-Au-Princes
My Haitian goddess
And all of my princesses
Our condolences as you’re fighting against this
We’re right by your side
As we’re trying to make sense of this
Heavenly father
Help us see through these problems
And for those that left
Accept them into your garden
So here’s my theory
The country’s already starving
So we sacrificed many
To shed light on all of them
God please pardon, I speak from the heart
It’s the only way I see this tragedy befalling them
So lets get involved with them
Hand to hand with them, arm to arm with them
Until they get strong again
When the sky falls

Not tomorrow
Can’t wait until tomorrow

Haiti, mon amour
Haiti, mon amour
Not gonna leave you stranded
Oh no, oh no, oh no

When the sky falls
And the earth quakes
We gonna put this back together
We won’t break
When the sky falls
And the earth quakes
We gonna put this back together
We won’t break

Learn from the past
New Orleans was flooded
So we know we just can’t rely on the government
We under the rubble again
Here we go rumbling
When we gonna catch a break
My friend lost his mother and then
And then, Caroline lost her uncles and them
Buried with no caskets
They just put covers on them
And the tears fall, and we fight back
The story ain’t done, it can’t end like that
Nah not like this
Tomorrow’s survivors are gonna carry on your name
You live on inside us
Your memory’s alive with us
You inspired us to rebuild this country
You just guide us

Not tomorrow
Can’t wait until tomorrow
Haiti, mon amour
Haiti, mon amour
Not gonna leave you stranded
Hey, not gonna leave you stranded
Oh no, oh no, oh no

It’s not the angels that are on their way
It’s not the bells of Santa Trinité
The people waiting, position vacant
for hands to help, not just to pray

Ensemble, ensemble, ensemble
Ensemble, ensemble, ensemble

Haiti, mon amour
Haiti, mon amour
Not gonna leave you stranded
Hey, not gonna leave you stranded
Oh no, oh no, oh no

Not gonna leave
Haïti va s’élever
Not gonna leave
Tu vas te relever
Oh no
Nous nous éléverons
Oh no
Ensemble ensemble ensemble

We’re gonna put this back together, we wont break
Not gonna leave stranded
We’re gonna put this back together, we wont break
Not gonna leave you stranded
We’re gonna put this back together, we wont break
Not gonna leave you stranded
We’re gonna put this back together, we wont break
We’re gonna put this back together, we wont break

Wersja live:
Yeah, yeah

The sky falls and
The earth quakes
We gonna put this back together
We won’t break
The sky falls and
The earth quakes
We gonna put this back together
We won’t break

Sa Pa Sé
A port of princes
A Haitian goddess
And all of my princesses
Our condolences
As we fight against this
We’re right by your side
While we trying to make sense of this
Heavenly father
Help us see through these problems
And put those that left
Accept them into your garden
So, here’s my theory
The country’s already starving
So we sacrifice many
To shed light on all of them
Y’all please
I speak from my heart
The only way I can see this tragedy befalling
So let’s get involved with it
Hand to hand, arm to arm with it
To make it strong again
When the sky falls

Haiti, mon amour
Haiti, mon amour
Not gonna leave you stranded
Oh no, oh no, oh no

The sky falls and
The earth quakes
We gonna put this back together
We won’t break
The sky falls and
The earth quakes

We won’t break

We learned from the past
New Orleans was flooded
So we know we just can’t rely on the government
Under the rubble
Here we going rumbling
When we gonna catch a break
A friend lost his mother and then
Colleen lost her uncles again
Buried with no caskets
They just put covers on them
A tense call, I’ll be right back
Still it can’t end, no, not like that
No, not like this
The smallest survivors are gonna carry on your name
The broadest silence
Your memory’s alive with us
You inspired us to rebuild this country
You just guide us when the sky falls

Not tomorrow
Can’t wait until tomorrow

Haiti, mon amour
Haiti, mon amour
Not gonna leave you stranded
