Lyrics and translation Jonathan Richman - The Bitter Herb
Well,
I've
developed
taste
for
the
bitter
herb
Eh
bien,
j'ai
développé
un
goût
pour
l'herbe
amère
And
that
started
long
time
ago
Et
ça
a
commencé
il
y
a
longtemps
When
I
saw
that
the
sweet
and
secure
Quand
j'ai
vu
que
le
doux
et
le
sûr
Weren't
working
no
more
Ne
marchaient
plus
I
won't
cry,
I
won't
cry
Je
ne
pleurerai
pas,
je
ne
pleurerai
pas
It
ain't
that
hard
to
say
goodbye
Ce
n'est
pas
si
dur
de
dire
au
revoir
It's
time
to
try
the
taste
of
the
bitter
herb
Il
est
temps
d'essayer
le
goût
de
l'herbe
amère
Our
life
is
changed
Notre
vie
a
changé
Our
life
is
changed
Notre
vie
a
changé
Our
life
is
changed
Notre
vie
a
changé
Our
life
is
changed
Notre
vie
a
changé
From
the
bad
Du
mauvais
Well,
it's
time
to
taste
that
bitter
herb
Eh
bien,
il
est
temps
de
goûter
à
cette
herbe
amère
I've
tried
the
sweet
so
long
J'ai
essayé
le
sucré
si
longtemps
But
the
path
of
least
resistance
Mais
le
chemin
de
la
moindre
résistance
Is
so
strong
Est
si
fort
It's
hard
to
change,
it's
hard
to
change
C'est
difficile
de
changer,
c'est
difficile
de
changer
Bitter
herb
is
less
bitter
than
strange
L'herbe
amère
est
moins
amère
qu'étrange
But
we
run
from
the
taste
of
the
bitter
herb
Mais
nous
fuyons
le
goût
de
l'herbe
amère
It's
hard
to
change
C'est
difficile
de
changer
It's
hard
to
change
C'est
difficile
de
changer
It's
hard
to
change
C'est
difficile
de
changer
It's
hard
to
change
C'est
difficile
de
changer
It's
hard
to
change
C'est
difficile
de
changer
And
I'm
afraid
Et
j'ai
peur
Ya,
I'm
afraid
Oui,
j'ai
peur
I'm
afraid
sometimes
J'ai
peur
parfois
But
the
bitter
herb
when
I
try
Mais
l'herbe
amère,
quand
j'essaie
I
feel
more
alive
Je
me
sens
plus
vivant
