About this lyric:

Stranded (Haiti Mon Amour) by Jay-Z, Rihanna, The Edge, and Bono, Music Lyrics and Video

Stranded (Haiti Mon Amour) is a song from "Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief", a charity telethon that was held on 22 January 2010.

The song was produced by Swizz Beatz and Declan Gaffney and was performed by Jay-Z, Rihanna, The Edge, and Bono.

"Sitting in the studio and watching Haiti hurting, I knew immediately I had to do something," Swizz Beatz said. "I reached out to my friends Bono and Jay-Z and asked for their help. Jay and Rihanna sent their vocals, and that same night Bono and I went into the studio."

The in-studio version of "Stranded (Haiti Mon Amour)" will be available via iTunes on a special album of live performances from the "Hope for Haiti Now" telethon. Just like the telethon, relief organizations that will benefit from the special album include Partners in Health, Oxfam America, the Red Cross, UNICEF, Yéle Haiti Foundation, United Nations World Food Program and the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund. All the proceeds will go toward Haiti earthquake relief.

Listen the song here, this is the video from the telethon.

Please buy this track and all the songs from the telethon on iTunes and help Haiti.

When the sky falls and the Earth quakes
We gon put this back together
We won’t break

Sak Pase, my Port-Au-Princes
my Haitian Gods and all of my Princesses
Our condolences as you fightin’ against this
we’re right by your side while we tryin’ to make sense of this
heavenly father help us see through these problems
and for those that’s left, accept them into your garden
so here’s my theory, the country’s already starvin’
so we sacrificed many to shed light on all of them
God please pardon, I speak from the heart
its the only way I see this tragedy befall on them
so lets get involved with them, hand to hand with them
arm to arm with them til they get strong again,
When the sky falls…

Can’t wait until tomorrow
Haiti a Mi Amor
Haiti, Mon Amour
Not gonna leave you stranded, alone, alone
oh no

Learn from the past, New Orleans was flooded
So we know we just can’t rely on the government
We under the rubble again, here we go rumbling when
When we gon catch a break, my friend lost his mother and then
And then, Carline lost her uncles and them
Buried with no caskets, they just put covers on them
And the tears fall, and we fight back
Story ain’t done, it can’t end like that
Nah not like this, tomorrow’s survivors gonna carry on your name
You live on inside us, your memory’s alive with us
You inspired us, to rebuild this country, you just guide us

It’s not the angels that are on their way
its not the bells of Santa Trinite
the people waiting in positions vacant
for hands to help not just to pray

Haïti va s’élever
Tu vas te relever
Nous nous éléverons
Ensemble ensemble ensemble

(not gonna leave you stranded…)

we gon put this back together we won't break
we gon put this back together we won't break
we gon put this back together we won't break
we gon put this back together we won't break
