English Poetic Translation:

Dansing Rara is freeing
Dansing Rara is unleeching
Take advantage of this moment
It will pass and won't come back

Whoever you may be
This Rara will make you move
The crowd's getting their groove on
The smell of love is rising
Come, come shake your body

Dansing Rara is freeing
Dansing Rara is unleeching
Take advantage of this moment
It will pass and won't come back

Come, come shake your body

Forget your worries at home
Come dance with all your heart
Come and sooth all the cracks of your conscience
Come and add to the groove of the band
Come and bare your soul
Come, dance, come feel the rhythm

Let the music play on
Let the beat ride
All together we dance
We dance till we drop

Haitian Creole Text by:
Louis M. Celestin & Sydney Guillaume

Danse Rara se libète
Danse Rara se defoulman
Profite de moman sa
Li prale li pap tounen

Ou te mèt sa ou te ye
Rara sa ap fè'ou bouje
Moun sou moun ape grouye
Odè lanmou ape monte
Vini, vin souke kò-ou
(Welele, Welele, Welele!)

Danse Rara se libète
Danse Rara se defoulman
Profite de moman sa
Li prale li pap tounen

Vini, vin souke kò-ou

Bliye touman mizè lakay-ou
Vin danse ake tout kè-ou
Vin soulaje tout fant konsyans-ou
Vin ogmante filing nan bann nan
Vin devide tout mwèl nan kò-ou
Vini danse, vin kadanse

Kite mizik la roule
Kite bit la mache
Ansan'm ansan'm n'ape danse
N'ape danse jouk sa kaba
