Lyrics and translation Nina Simone - Work Song (Live At Carnegie Hall) [Remastered]
Breaking
rocks
out
here
on
the
chain
gang
Je
casse
des
pierres
ici
sur
le
chantier
pénitentiaire
Breaking
rocks
and
serving
my
time
Je
casse
des
pierres
et
je
purge
ma
peine
Breaking
rocks
out
here
on
the
chain
gang
Je
casse
des
pierres
ici
sur
le
chantier
pénitentiaire
Because
they
done
convicted
me
of
crime
Parce
qu'ils
m'ont
condamnée
pour
un
crime
Hold
it
steady
right
there
while
I
hit
it
Tiens-la
bien
droite
là
pendant
que
je
la
frappe
Well,
reckon
that
ought
to
get
it
Eh
bien,
je
pense
que
ça
devrait
suffire
Been
working
and
working
Je
travaille
et
travaille
But
I
still
got
so
terribly
far
to
go
Mais
j'ai
encore
tellement
de
chemin
à
parcourir
I
committed
crime
Lord
I
needed
J'ai
commis
un
crime,
Seigneur,
j'avais
besoin
Crime
of
being
hungry
and
poor
Le
crime
d'être
affamée
et
pauvre
I
left
the
grocery
store
man
breathing
J'ai
laissé
l'épicier
respirer
When
they
caught
me
robbing
his
store
Quand
ils
m'ont
attrapée
en
train
de
cambrioler
son
magasin
Hold
it
steady
right
there
while
I
hit
it
Tiens-la
bien
droite
là
pendant
que
je
la
frappe
Well,
reckon
that
ought
to
get
it
Eh
bien,
je
pense
que
ça
devrait
suffire
Been
working
and
working
Je
travaille
et
travaille
But
I
still
got
so
terribly
far
to
go
Mais
j'ai
encore
tellement
de
chemin
à
parcourir
I
heard
the
judge
say
five
years
J'ai
entendu
le
juge
dire
cinq
ans
On
chain-gang
you
gonna
go
Sur
le
chantier
pénitentiaire,
tu
vas
y
aller
I
heard
the
judge
say
five
years
labor
J'ai
entendu
le
juge
dire
cinq
ans
de
labeur
I
heard
my
old
man
scream
Lordy,
no!
J'ai
entendu
mon
vieux
crier
Seigneur,
non
!
Hold
it
right
there
while
I
hit
it
Tiens-la
bien
droite
là
pendant
que
je
la
frappe
Well,
reckon
that
ought
to
get
it
Eh
bien,
je
pense
que
ça
devrait
suffire
Been
working
and

Je
travaille
et
travaille
But
I
still
got
so
terribly
far
to
go
Mais
j'ai
encore
tellement
de
chemin
à
parcourir
Gonna
see
my
sweet
honey
bee
Je
vais
voir
ma
douce
abeille
Gonna
break
this
chain
off
to
run
Je
vais
briser
cette
chaîne
pour
m'enfuir
I'm
gonna
lay
down
somewhere
shady
Je
vais
m'allonger
quelque
part
à
l'ombre
Lord,
I
sure
am
hot
in
the
sun
Seigneur,
j'ai
tellement
chaud
au
soleil
Hold
it
right
there
while
I
hit
it
Tiens-la
bien
droite
là
pendant
que
je
la
frappe
Well,
reckon
that
ought
to
get
it
Eh
bien,
je
pense
que
ça
devrait
suffire
Been
workin'
and
workin'
J'ai
travaillé
et
travaillé
Been
workin'
and
slavin'
J'ai
travaillé
et
j'ai
peiné
An'
workin'
and
workin'
Et
j'ai
travaillé
et
travaillé
But
I
still
got
so
terribly
far
to
go
Mais
j'ai
encore
