- Comments
- Words of poem set to music by Monton, based on a French berceuse, or cradle song, and elements of other traditional songs. The poem itself remained unpublished until 1896. The song is also known in Haitian Creole as “Ti Zwazo” (French: “Petite oiseau”, English: “Little Bird”). As is typical for a song of this age, there are many different arrangements and variant lyrics.
