Si Bondye
by Ansy & Yole Derose · 2009 · chanson · 4:58 · Haitian Creole, French
“Si Bondye” begins a condition and leaves the song to complete the sentence. Ansy and Yole Derose use two words that may open toward hope, permission, protection, or a plan beyond human will. This chanson reached the internet in 2009 and lasts four minutes and fifty-eight seconds. Two voices give the condition a shared form, as though the question of faith does not remain inside one person’s mind. Emmanuel V’s source adds no subtitle to narrow the meaning. The title consequently remains both a grammatical and spiritual doorway: everything that follows depends upon how God enters the sentence.
