Dèyè mòn gen mòn

Behind mountains there are mountains

Past every difficulty stands another. Read as weariness or as endurance depending on who says it.

The proverb belongs to the Haitian people. The translation and the note are our own.

Same themes

What does not kill you fattens you

It is the beaten earth that drinks the rain

It is when you are in need that you know who your friends are

The year did not kill you, it is not a day that will

A man may grow tired, but not a woman

Hold your nose to drink the foul water
