panama mwen tonbé…

Translated from Creole:

I left the village of Jacmel (Haiti)
And went to the city of LaValay (South of Haiti)
When I arrived at the crossroads of Difo
My hat fell off!

My hat fell off!
My hat fell off!
My hat fell off!
Whoever is in behind me
Please pick it up for me.

I left the village of Au Cap (in Cap Haitien)
And went to the city of Port Au Prince
When I arrived at TiGinen (close to Port Au Prince)
My hat fell off!
My hat fell off…
I left the village of Au Cap
To go to the city of Port Au Prince
When I arrived at the city of
Croix Des Missions
My hat fell off!

My hat fell off…
