"Quand nos Aïeux brisèrent leurs entraves"
(When our Fathers broke their Chains)
Words by: Oswald Durand
Music by: Occide JeantyIn use: 1893-1903
In 1893 a visiting warship to the Haitian capital was required by protocol to perform the Haitian anthem. Since Haiti did not yet have an anthem, the composer Occide Jeanty offered to compose music for the patriotic poem "Quand nos Aïeux brisèrent leurs entraves."
This was completed that night and the anthem was debuted aboard the ship. It remained as an unofficial national anthem until a new one was chosen to mark Haiti's centennial on January 1, 1904. The former anthem still remains in use as a presidential salute.

FRENCH LYRICS
Quand nos Aïeux brisèrent leurs entraves
Ce n'était pas pour se croiser les bras
Pour travailler en maîtres les esclaves
Ont embrassé corps à corps le trépas.
Leur sang à flots engraissa nos collines,
A notre tour, jaunes et noirs, allons!
Creusons le sol légué par Dessalines :
Notre fortune est là dans nos vallons.
CHORUS:
L'indépendance est éphémère
Sans le droit à l'égalité!
Pour fouler, heureux, cette terre
Il nous faut la devise austère :
Dieu! Le Travail! La Liberté!
Quoi de plus beau que ces fils de l'Afrique
Qui, trois cent ans dans tous les maux plongés,
Tournent leurs fers, leur carcan et leur trique
Contre la force et les vieux préjugés!
En bas voyez! c'est la noble bannière
Cernant les noirs qui vont mourir là-haut
Non! leur torrent avec Lamartinière
Descend fougueux à la Crête-à-Pierrot.
CHORUS:
Tout cela serait éphémère
Sans le droit à l'égalité!
Pour fouler, heureux, cette terre
Il nous faut la devise austère :
Dieu! Le Travail! La Liberté!
De Rochambeau les cohortes altières,
Quelques instants, suspendirent le feu
Pour saluer le Héros de Vertières,
Capois-la-Mort, grand comme un demi-dieu.
Vers le progrès crions comme ce brave :
"Noirs, en avant! En avant!" Et bêchons
Le sol trempé des sueurs de l'esclave!
Nous avons là ce qu'ailleurs nous cherchons
CHORUS:
Sans quoi tout devient éphémère
Pas d'ordre et pas de liberté
Pour fouler, heureux, cette terre
Il nous faut la devise austère :
Dieu! Le Travail! La Liberté!
Sang des martyrs dont la pourpre écumante
A secoué nos chaînes et nos jougs!
Chavanne, Ogé, sur la route infamante,
Toi, vieux Toussaint, dans ton cachot de Joux
O précurseurs, dont les dernières fibres
Ont dû frémir, - vous les porte-flambeaux -
En nous voyant maintenant fiers et libres,
Conseillez-nous du fond de vos tombeaux!
CHORUS:
Votre bonheur est éphémère;
Ayez droit à l’égalité!
Pour fouler, heureux, cette terre,
Il vous faut la devise austère:
Dieu! Le travail! La liberté!
A l’oeuvre donc, descendants de l’Afrique,
Jaunes et noirs, fils du même berceau!
L’antique Europe et la jeune Amérique
Nous voient de loin tenter le rude assaut.
Bêchons le sol qu’en l’an mil huit cent quatre,
Nous ont conquis nos aïeux au bras fort.
C’est notre tour à présent de combattre
Avec ce cri: "Le progrès ou la mort!"
CHORUS:
A l’oeuvre! Ou tout est éphémère!
Ayons droit à l’égalité!
Nous foulerons, plus fiers, la terre,
Avec cette devise austère:
Dieu! Le travail! La liberté!

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
When our fathers broke their chains
this was not to fold their arms
and to let slaves work for them as masters
Side by side, till death.
Their streams of blood soaked our hills
But now our turn came, Brown and Black, onward!
Plough the soil of Dessalines:
Our wealth is here in our small valleys.
CHORUS:
Independence is fugitive,(elusive, short-lived, passing blip)
without the right of equality!
To plough (cheerfully) this soil with joy
we (must have) need this strict motto:
God! (Work) Labour ! Freedom!
What can there be more beautiful than this children of Africa
who, after threehundred years of deepest bondage cast,
turned iron, yoke and truncheon
against the hostile powers and against old prejudices!
See from down there! It is the noble banner,
that unites the Blacks, who are ready to die there at the top!
But no! The crowds of Lamartinière
descend like foaming flood from La Crête-à-Pierrot.
CHORUS:
Everything is fugitive (elusive, short-lived, passing blips)
without the right of equality!
To plough (cheerfully) this soil with joy
we (must uphold) need this strict motto:
God! (Work) Labour! Freedom!
The proud troops of Rochambeau
suspended fire for a moment
To salute the hero of Vertières
Capois-la-Mort, great as a second god.
Towards progress, cries the brave:
"Blacks, onward! Onward!" and plough
this soil, which is soaked with the sweat of slaves!
It is here, what we were hoping for to find it somewhere else.
CHORUS:
Without this everything is fugitive (elusive, short-lived, passing blips):
Without order and freedom!
To plough (cheerfully) this soil with joy
we (must have) need this strict motto:
God! (Work)Labour! Freedom!
The purple blood of the martyrs foamed
over our chains and yokes!
Chavanne, Ogé on this horrible road
you, old Toussaint, in your prison of Joux,
and our fathers, marching ahead,
with trembling hearts - You carried the torch.
Us, who are now proud and free,
Guide us from the ground of your tombs!
CHORUS:
Your fortune is fugitive (elusive, short-lived, passing blip)
without the right of equality!
To plough (cheerfully) this soil with joy
You must (uphold) need this strict motto:
God! (Work) Labour! Freedom!
Now to work, you decendants of Africa,
Brown and Black, children from the same cradle!
The old Europe and the young America
try again to suppress us from far away.
Plough the soil, which, in the year eighteenhundred and four
our fathers conquered with strong arm.
Now it is our turn to fight,
with the cry "Progress or Death!"
CHORUS:
Now to work! Or everything is fugitive (elusive, short-lived, passing blip)!
Let's have the right of equality!
We will plough (cheerfully) this soil with even more pride
with this strict motto:
God! Labour! Freedom!
