Kreyol song – #123 Lè Kris vini (When Jesus Comes)

Yon pòv te sèl, akote gran chemen an,
Li te avèg, li pa te kapab wè;
Rad li chire, li tranble nan lonbraj la,
Jezi vini, tenèb li vin limyè.

Ke :
Lè Kris vini, pwisans satan fin brize;
Lè Kris vini, dlo nan je yo siye.
Li pran tristès,
Lavi nou plen ak lajwa;
Nou vin chanje lè Kris vini rete.


(literal translation)
A poor man was alone, beside the highway,
He was blind and could not see;
His clothes were torn and he trembled in the shade,
Jesus comes, his darkness becomes light.

Ke:
When Christ comes, the power of satan is broken;
When Christ comes, the tears are wiped away.
He takes sadness,
Our lives are full of joy;
We become changed when Christ comes to dwell.

One man sat alone beside the highway begging.
His eyes were blind, the light he could not see.
He clutched his rags and he shivered in the shadows.
Then Jesus came and He made that man’s darkness flea.

For when Jesus comes all of Satan’s power is broken.
Whenever Jesus comes he’ll wipe all your tears away.
He’ll take your gloom and fill your life with glory.
Just reach out and let Jesus come in to stay.
