Video Discription |
Celebrate life with the women of Haiti!
Celebre was recorded, performed, and filmed with all artists donating their time in support of Innovating Health International. The song tells the story of the struggle of Haitian women with cancer and how they support each other and give thanks.
IHI is a non-profit dedicated to improving women's health in Haiti, Malawi, and Somaliland. As Haiti's largest cancer treatment program, we wanted a song and video that celebrates the lives and strength of the women that we serve. All the patients enthusiastically consented to participation in the music video.

Song and video available on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, and wherever online music is sold. All proceeds go to support IHI's mission in Haiti.

Save a life…
In this room are others like me,
We’re afraid of what might be.
I take her hand and she squeezes mine.
Share a smile and everything’s fine.
Strangers become Sisters.
Healers become friends.
Worries fade to whispers
When we sing -
Chorus
To Sad I say: No no no
To Fear I say: Go Away
To Hope I say: Vin antre (come on in)
To Joy I say: An danse (let’s dance)
Celebre - Danse danse, celebre (celebrate – dance, dance, celebrate)
In this town are others like me
With a dream of what life could be
Try to lift my head to the sky
We join hands, together we fly
Patient, persistent,
Setback-resistant.
Golden and glorious,
Ever victorious.
In this room, in our town
Lifting up what is down.
In the world, everywhere,
Showing up, show we care.
In my heart, you are there,
Hand in hand we declare -
When we dance, when we sing
We can dare anything!
I am the voice that leads (I am)
I am the fields that feed (I am)
The wings upon your feet (Men Mwen – I am)
I am the light you need
Siste, ann mete men nou ansanm (Sisters, let’s put our hands together)
Ann mete men nou, a nou a nou celebre (Let’s put our hands - to us, to us celebrate)
Celebre, celebre, celebre, celebre (Celebrate, celebrate, celebrate, celebrate) CBwMfqJcQrs |
