    English Translation:
    Turn up the fire! We are going to eat tchaka!
    Turn up the fire, stir up the corn, don’t forget the salt pork,
    We are going to eat a delicious tchaka.
    We are going to cook up a mind-blowing stew.
    At the sound of the three drums, everyone yells out hurray.
    If we join together we can all move forward.
    Let us enmesh in lovely harmony
    A delicious homemade stew, a musical tchaka.
    It’s a delicious homemade stew, a national tchaka,
    A delicious homemade stew…
    Turn up the fire! Turn up the fire!
    *Yanvalou, Kontredans, Rabòday are amazing.
    Roots music, oh yes, that’s good stuff.
    Let’s stick together; side by side we can move forward.
    Turn up the fire! Turn up the fire! The tchaka is cooking!
    *Ibo, Bolero, Banda, Mayi, Congo, Petro, Maskaron…
    These are the rhythms of our roots.
    We danced *Kalinda and we sang Rabòday,
    Heads together, with love, let us do great things.
    Turn up the fire! Turn up the fire!
    We proclaimed hope and we sang of peace,
    So that the light of justice spreads throughout the earth.
    We’ll keep on singing…
    We’ll keep on singing to make life more beautiful!
    In justice and in love, let’s eat a delicious tchaka!
    Amen!
    Let’s eat a delicious tchaka!

    Traducción al Español:
    Suban el fuego! Vamos a comer tchaka!
    Suban el fuego, revuelvan el maíz, no se olviden de salar el cerdo.
    Vamos a comer un delicioso tchaka!
    Vamos a cocinar un guiso exorbitante.
    Cuando suenen los tres tambores, todos gritan hurra.
    Si nos unimos podemos ir todos hacia adelante.
    Reunámonos en encantadora armonía
    Un delicioso guiso casero, un tchaka musical.
    Es un delicioso guiso casero,un tchaka nacional,
    Un delicioso guiso casero…
    Suban el fuego! Suban el fuego!
    *Yanvalou, Kontredans, Rabòday son maravillosos.
    Música de las raíaes, oh si, es genial.
    Mantengamos juntos; lado a lado podemos avanzar.
    Suban el fuego! Suban el fuego! El tchaka se está cocinando!
    *Ibo, Bolero, Banda, Mayi, Congo, Petro, Maskaron…
    Estos son los ritmos de nuestras raíces.
    Bailamos *Kalinda y cantamos Rabòday.
    Unamos nuestras mentes, con amor, y hagamos grandes cosas.
    Suban el fuego! Suban el fuego!
    Proclamamos la esperanza y cantamos por la paz,
    para que la luz de la justicia se desparrame por toda la tierra.
    Seguiremos cantando…
    Seguiremos cantando para hacer la vida más hermosa.
    En la justicia y el amor, comamos un delicioso tchaka!
    Amen!
    Comamos un delicioso tchaka!

    Chofe dife! Nou pral manje tchaka!
    Chofe dife, brase mayi, pa bliye tisale,
    Nou pral manje yon bon tchaka.
    Nou pral voye monte yon bouyon tèt chaje.
    Twa tanbou yo frape, tout moun rele anmwe.
    An nou pote kole pou nou tout ka vanse.
    An nou makonnen ansanm nan yon bèl amoni
    Yon bon bouyon lakay, yon tchaka mizikal.
    Se yon bon bouyon lakay, yon tchaka nasyonal,
    Se yon bon bouyon lakay…
    Chofe dife! Chofe dife!
    Yanvalou, Kontredans, Rabòday se gwo koze.
    Mizik lakay, o wi se bèl bagay.
    Pote kole; kòtakòt n’ape vanse.
    Chofe dife, chofe dife, tchaka ape monte!
    Ibo, Bolero, Banda, Mayi, Congo, Petro, Maskaron...
    Mizik sa yo se konpa lakay.
    Nou danse Kalinda, nou chante Rabòday,
    Tèt ansanm, nan renmen, an nou fè bèl bagay.
    Chofe dife! Chofe dife!
    Nou proklame lespwa e nou chante lapè,
    Pou limyè la jistis blayi sou tout latè.
    N’ap kontinye chante…
    N’ap kontinye chante pou fè lavi pi bèl!
    Nan jistis, nan renmen, an nou manje yon bon tchaka!
    Ayibobo!
    An’n manje yon bon tchaka!

    My school did this sophomore year and got our first 1 at our district music contest in a hot minute and this song was easily our favorite. Junior year, our seniors ahead of us who had grown up with our choir director from their freshman year were graduating and on one of their last days while we cleaned up/prepared music for other concerts, we broke out into Tchaka, almost without his direction, and sang it pretty well for not singing it for a whole year at that time.
    For the next two years, whoever was a part of the ensemble that sang Tchaka, we at least sang up to part G I believe at any given time. 😂😭 take me back!

    Hey Sydney, my name is Keith Sheppard. I just wanted to thank you for this piece! I am a tenor 2 in the PHS A Capella Choir, and this was the highlight of the competition for us. I remember that when we practiced it in class Mrs. McClain would put on a really cool beat (to keep tempo) and we'd dance to it while singing. Sometimes we'd be too busy dancing to actually focus on pure vowels and the likes lol. This was an awesome song to perform, and I wanted to commend you and your father for composing it. God bless!

    As a sophomore in high school, I had the privilege of being conducted by Mr. Guillaume at SCSU's Big Sing event in 2020, which ended up being the last choir I sang in right before the pandemic.
    This year, as a freshman in college, I decided to join a choir again, and was rightfully excited to learn we would be singing Tchaka.
    I should go to bed since it's past midnight, but that technically means we're performing this song today! I'm so excited! Thanks for making your music that is groovy with a good message!
