Southwestern ACDA Conference - March 2016... - - - (TRADUCCIÓN AL ESPAÑOL ABAJO) - - - [ Yele maoulo! ] The conch shells are sounding, The roosters haven’t crowed yet, The sun hasn’t risen yet, The workers are on their feet! Ranpono has begun! Laborers, let’s put our hands together, Let’s join together, The work has begun! Little by little, the bird makes its nest. My brothers, my sisters, Join together, let’s move forward! Heads together, in harmony, We will come to see the navel of an ant. With perseverance, we will see the navel of an ant. The load that you bear on your head falls on your shoulders. Little by little, the bird makes its nets. [ Yele maoulo! ] Wasting time is not part of the game. We must work today to harvest tomorrow. Work is over! The sun is setting, The workers are dismissed, A job well done. Ranpono brings life. Truly indeed...    less

All the children are free, Teachers are gone, In all corners of the country, school is out! All the pilgrims are ready; it's the frivolous party season! The feast has begun, everywhere it's part time! Many have arrived at Lakou Migonga. Chickens, turkeys and ducks Are carousing in the yard. Fathers, grandfathers, brothers and sisters are gathered, Neighbors and friends, we all make one family. These are all customs in the country of Haiti. Artocarpus incisa, Millet, Sugarcanes are flourishing. Mangos and Avocados are falling all day long. The night before, it's wood burning, The next day, it's the ten a.m. Mass. Everyone's celebrating: Hail to Saint James the Great! It's "Fèt Chanpèt"! Oh, what a beautiful season, It's joy, it's festivity! After Plaine-du-Nord, at Limonade we party some more. It's the frivolo...    less
