Haiti - Arcade Fire (lyrics french to english translation)?

Can someone please translate the french parts into english?

and I'd prefer it if the person who does the translating actually SPEAKS french

those online translator things aren't accurate



Artist: Arcade Fire

Song: Haiti



Haiti, mon pays,

wounded mother I鈥檒l never see.

Ma famille set me free.

Throw my ashes into the sea.



Mes cousins jamais nes

hantent les nuits de Duvalier.

Rien n鈥檃rrete nos espirits.

Guns can鈥檛 kill what soldiers can鈥檛 see.



In the forest we are hiding,

unmarked graves where flowers grow.

Hear the soldiers angry yelling,

in the river we will go.



Tous les morts-nes forment une armee,

soon we will reclaim the earth.

All the tears and all the bodies

bring about our second birth.



Haiti, never free,

n鈥檃ie pas peur de sonner l鈥檃larme.

Tes enfants sont partis,

in those days their blood was still warmHaiti - Arcade Fire (lyrics french to english translation)?
Haiti, my country

wounded mother I鈥檒l never see.

My family set me free.

Throw my ashes into the sea.



My cousins never haunt

the nights of Duvalier.

Nothing stops our spirits.

Guns can鈥檛 kill what soldiers can鈥檛 see.



In the forest we are hiding,

unmarked graves where flowers grow.

Hear the soldiers angry yelling,

in the river we will go.



All of the deaths do not form an army,

soon we will reclaim the earth.

All the tears and all the bodies

bring about our second birth.



Haiti, never free,

have no fear to sound the alarm.

Your children are leaving,

in those days their blood was still warmHaiti - Arcade Fire (lyrics french to english translation)?
That's close. She says "my unborn cousins haunt Duvalier's nights"

"The recently deceased form an army"
