  • @cuteislandchild I beg to differ this song was a poem written by a Haitian poet while in prison to a woman he was in love with .He named her “Choucoune", because of her beauty, but choucoune left him for a French man. It is a beautiful story you should research it.

  • @cuteislandchild Someone falsy misled you because I know that song since I was a child. Maybe it has been remade by the Jamaican but it is a haitian traditional song.

  • lets deal with sources and not hear say "Choucoune" (Haitian Creole: Choukoun) is a 19th century Haitian song composed by Michel Mauleart Monton with lyrics from a poem by Oswald Durand. It was rewritten with English lyrics in the 20th century as "Yellow Bird."

  • I am Bahamian, and I am 100% the song is very Jamaican.

  • i can believe it even our song they wanna give the Jamaican the credit.thanks heyshins for the correction

  • This is not a Jamaican song, It's originally a folkloric Haitian song, just got to wikipedia and read it for yourself my mother used to sing me this song the origianl title is "choucoune" written in 1883
