La source (song)
"La source" ("The Spring") was the French entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1968, performed in French by Isabelle Aubret. This was Aubret's second appearance on the Eurovision stage, in 1962 she had won the Contest with "Un premier amour". In turn, one of the lyricists of "La source", Guy Bonnet, would return to the Contest as an artist in 1970 and 1983, singing "Marie-Blanche" and "Vivre" respectively.
"La source" was performed tenth on the night, following Finland's Kristina Hautala with "Kun kello käy" and preceding Italy's Sergio Endrigo with "Marianne". At the close of voting, it had received 20 points, placing 3rd in a field of 17.
The song deals - unusually for songs at the time, especially in the Contest - with the topic of rape, with Aubret describing such an event in some detail. Aubret also recorded the song in German, then under the title "Such' mich dort, wo die Sonne scheint".
It was succeeded as French representative at the 1969 Contest by Frida Boccara with "Un jour, un enfant".
La Source, Haiti
La Source is a town in Haiti.
It was mentioned in a recent documentary film called The Philosopher Kings. One former resident who has emigrated to the United States, Josue Lajeunesse, has been active in bringing a clean water source closer to the village, whose residents had previously needed to travel to a nearby mountain for water, a twenty mile round trip. Currently, he is trying to provide a permanent and reliable water system utilizing cisterns for each house so the water is even more accessible. After the water system is implemented this year, in 2010, he would also like to provide the village with electricity, in the form of solar panels, and computers.
Lasource sustained heavy damage in the 2010 Haiti earthquake, and around half the structures in the town were damaged or destroyed.
The implementation of the water system is being captured in a documentary film exclusively devoted to Josue and the fulfillment of his dream. The documentary starts shooting on location in Haiti in late March 2010. The film, entitled "La Source" shows the partnership between Josue and an organization called Generosity Water whose mission is to bring clean water solutions to developing countries.

Haiti (
i/ˈheɪti/; French: Haïti [a.iti]; Haitian Creole: Ayiti [ajiti]), officially the Republic of Haiti (French: République d'Haïti; Haitian Creole: Repiblik Ayiti), is a country in the western hemisphere, and is located on the island of Hispaniola, in the Greater Antilles archipelago of the Caribbean. It occupies the western three-eighths of the island which it shares with the Dominican Republic. Haiti is 27,750 square kilometres (10,714 sq mi) in size and has an estimated 10.6 million people, making it the most populous country in the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and the third-most populous country in the Caribbean as a whole.
Originally inhabited by the indigenous Taíno people, Europeans first became aware of the island on December 5, 1492 during the first voyage of Christopher Columbus across the Atlantic. When Columbus first landed in Haiti, he had thought he had found India or Asia. Deciding to establish the first settlement in the area, a contingent of men were left at an outpost christened La Navidad because of the wreck to their sunken flagship, the Santa Maria, that occurred at Christmas, north of what is now Limonade. The island was named Hispaniola and claimed by Spain, which ruled until the early 17th century. Competing claims and settlements by the French led to the western portion of the island being ceded to France, which named it Saint-Domingue. The development of sugarcane plantations, worked by slaves brought from Africa, led to the colony being among the most lucrative in the world.
Haiti I Am Sorry
"Haiti I am Sorry", or simply "Haiti", is a calypso song written and composed by David Rudder, and first recorded in 1988 for the album Haiti by David Rudder and Charlie's Roots. The song is about the serious trouble in Haiti.

The only other shared island in the Caribbean is Saint Martin, shared between France (Saint-Martin) and the Netherlands (Sint Maarten).
It is the site of the first European settlement in the Americas founded by Christopher Columbus on his voyages in 1492 and 1493.
History

When Columbus took possession of the island in 1492, he named it Insula Hispana, meaning "the Spanish Island" in Latin and La Isla Española, meaning "the Spanish Island", in Spanish.Bartolomé de las Casas shortened the name to "Española", and when Pietro Martyr d‘Anghiera detailed his account of the island in Latin, he rendered its name as Hispaniola.

La Source
by: Isabelle AubretElle chante au milieu du bois, la source, et je me demande
S'il faut croire à cette légende d'une fille qu'on y trouva.
Elle était blonde, elle était douce, elle aimait a se reposer
Dans le bois, couchée sur la mousse, écoutant les oiseaux chanter.
Un jour qu'elle allait à la ville, par le bois où elle passait
Elle vit soudain, immobiles, trois hommes qui la regardaient.
Trois homes qui la regardaient.
Elle chante au milieu du bois, la source, et je me demande
S'il faut croire à cette légende d'une fille qu'on y trouva.
Ils étaient là, trois à l'attendre, trois hommes-loups, cette brebis
Elle avait la chair bien trop tendre, ils avaient bien trop d'appétit.
Elle ne savait pas défendre le souffle léger de sa vie.
Elle tomba sur l'herbe tendre, comme un oiseau tombé du nid.
Comme un oiseau tombé du nid.
Elle chante au milieu du bois, la source, et je me demande
S'il faut croire à cette légende d'une fille qu'on y trouva.
Quand on l'a soulevé de terre comme une grande fleur coupée
Sa robe blanche et la lumière, on aurait dit une mariée.
Quand on l'a soulevée de terre, on aurait dit comme un grand lit.
Entre les feuilles, entre les pierres, une claire source a jailli.
Une claire source a jailli.
Elle chante au milieu du bois, la source, et je me demande
S'il faut croire à cette légende d'une fille qu'on y trouva.
