| Choukoun - Ti Zwezo | Little Bird |
| Chorus | |
| Ti zwazo nan bwa ki t'ape koute | Litte bird in the woods |
| Ti zwezo nan bwa ki t'ape koute | that was listening |
| Le mwen sonje sa | When I remembered that |
| Mwen genyen lapenn | I had sorrow |
| Ka depi jou sa | Because since that day |
| De pye mwen nan chenn | Both my feet were chained |
| Verse | |
| Choukoun se yon marabou | Choukoun is a beautiful woman |
| Je li klere kou chandèl | Her eyes shine like candles |
| Li genyen tete debou | She has perky breasts |
| A si Choukoun te fidèl | Ah, only if Choukoun was faithful |
| A si Choukoun te fidèl | Ah, only if Choukoun was faithful |
| Nou rete koze lontan | We stayed and talked for a long time |
The track by Desandann is available on Amazon if you want to buy it.

Michel Mauleart Monton - pianiste américain né d'un père haïtien et d'une mère américaine - composa la musique pour ce poème en 1893, s'appropriant quelques fragments français et des Caraïbes pour créer la mélodie.
La Choucoune fut créée à Port-au-Prince le 14 mai 1893.
La chanson est devenue une lente méringue (mereng), populaire en Haïti et a été abondamment mise en valeur pendant les célébrations du bicentenaire de Port-au-Prince en 1949.

Versions
La version en anglais de « Choucoune » (Yellow Bird) est d'abord parue sur l'album Calypso Holiday 1957 par la chorale de Norman Luboff (en).
Celui-ci avait arrangé la chanson dans le style calypso qui était devenu populaire dans le monde anglophone au milieu des années 1950.
Les paroles de "Yellow Bird" par Alan et Marilyn Bergman n'ont aucun lien avec le récit du poème de Oswald Durand si ce n'est que ce poème comportant les mots « ti zwazo » (petits oiseaux) dans son refrain, la chanson originale haïtienne est parfois appelée « Ti Zwazo » ou « Ti Zwezo ».

Choucoune
One of Oswald Durand's most famous works is the 1883 "Choucoune," a lyrical poem praising the beauty of a Haitian woman of that nickname. Michel Mauleart Monton, an American-born pianist with a Haitian father and an American mother, composed music for the poem in 1893 appropriating some French and Caribbean fragments to create his tune; the musical piece "Choucoune" was first performed in Port-au-Prince on 14 May 14 1893. The song became a popular slow méringue (mereng) song in Haiti and was prominently showcased during the bicentennial celebrations of Port-au-Prince in 1949.

The lyrics for "Yellow Bird" by Alan and Marilyn Bergman have no connection with the narrative of the Durand poem other than that poem featuring the words "ti zwazo" (little birds) in its refrain on which account the original Haitian song is sometimes called "Ti Zwazo" or "Ti Zwezo".
Yellow Bird -Lyrics
The song became a minor hit at #70 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the Mills Brothers in 1959; its most successful incarnation came in the summer of 1961 when the Arthur Lyman Group reached #4 with their Hawaiian flavored instrumental version which bested a rival instrumental single release by Lawrence Welk (#61).
"Yellow Bird" has also been recorded by Keely Smith, Roger Whitaker, Roger Williams, and Paul Clayton. The song continues to be popularly associated with calypso and the Caribbean and is often performed by steelpan bands but some versions, such as Chris Isaak's from Baja Sessions, evidence a Hawaiian flavor.

"Yellow Bird" was sung by Vivian Vance on a two-part Here's Lucy episode, "Lucy Goes Hawaiian," which aired February 15 and Feb. 22, 1971. Vance sang it in a high falsetto, with a calypso beat, dressed in yellow and sprouting feathers like a canary (including a long tail feather) perched on a swing decorated as a nest, that lowered her in the beginning of the song and lifted her at the end. A long spoken-word mid-section features Vance riffing on the types of male birds she'd like to hook up with.
