Lyrics and translation Elton John - Have Mercy on the Criminal (Remastered 2017)
Have
you
heard
the
dogs
at
night
As-tu
entendu
les
chiens
la
nuit
Somewhere
on
the
hill
Quelque
part
sur
la
colline
Chasing
some
poor
criminal
Poursuivre
un
pauvre
criminel
And
I
guess
they're
out
to
kill
Et
je
suppose
qu'ils
sont
là
pour
tuer
Oh
there
must
be
shackles
on
his
feet
Oh,
il
doit
y
avoir
des
chaînes
à
ses
pieds
And
mother
in
his
eyes
Et
une
mère
dans
ses
yeux
Stumbling
through
the
devil-dark
Titubant
dans
l'obscurité
diabolique
With
the
hound
pack
in
full
cry
Avec
la
meute
de
chiens
hurlante
Have
mercy
on
the
criminal
Que
Dieu
ait
pitié
du
criminel
Who
is
running
from
the
law
Qui
fuit
la
loi
Are
you
blind
to
the
winds
of
change?
Es-tu
aveugle
aux
vents
du
changement ?
Don't
you
hear
him
any
more?
Ne
l'entends-tu
plus ?
Praying
"Lord,
you
gotta
help
me
Priant :
"Seigneur,
tu
dois
m'aider
I
am
never
gonna
sin
again
Je
ne
pécherai
plus
jamais
Just
take
these
chains
from
around
my
legs
Enlève
ces
chaînes
de
mes
jambes
Sweet
Jesus,
I'll
be
your
friend"
Doux
Jésus,
je
serai
ton
ami "
Now
have
you
ever
seen
the
white
teeth
gleam
Maintenant,
as-tu
déjà
vu
les
dents
blanches
briller
While
you
lie
on
a
cold
damp
ground
Alors
que
tu
es
allongé
sur
un
sol
froid
et
humide
You're
taking
in
the
face
of
a
rifle
butt
Tu
encaisses
un
coup
de
crosse
de
fusil
While
the
wardens
hold
you
down
Pendant
que
les
gardiens
te
maintiennent
au
sol
And
you've
never
seen
a
friend
in
years
Et
tu
n'as
pas
vu
d'ami
depuis
des
années
Oh,
it
turns
your
heart
to
stone
Oh,
ça
te
rend
le
cœur
de
pierre
You
jump
the
walls
and
the
dogs
run
free
Tu
sautes
les
murs
et
les
chiens
courent
librement
And
the
grave's
gonna
be
your
home
Et
la
tombe
sera
ta
maison
Oh,
have
mercy
on
the
criminal
Oh,
que
Dieu
ait
pitié
du
criminel
Who
is
running
from
the
law
Qui
fuit
la
loi
Are
you
blind
to
the
winds
of
change?
Es-tu
aveugle
aux
vents
du
changement ?
Don't
you
hear
him
any
more?
Ne
l'entends-tu
plus ?
Praying
"Lord,

me
Priant :
"Seigneur,

again
Je

Ooh,
sweet
Jesus,
I'll
be
your

Ooh,
doux
Jésus,
