Lyrics and translation Patti Smith - People Have the Power (Digitally Remastered 1996)
I
was
dreaming
in
my
dreaming
Je
rêvais
dans
mon
rêve
Of
an
aspect
bright
and
fair
D'un
aspect
lumineux
et
juste
And
my
sleeping
it
was
broken
Et
mon
sommeil
a
été
brisé
But
my
dream
it
lingered
near
Mais
mon
rêve
s'est
attardé
près
de
moi
In
the
form
of
shining
valleys
Sous
la
forme
de
vallées
brillantes
Where
the
pure
air
recognized
Où
l'air
pur
reconnu
And
my
senses
newly
opened
Et
mes
sens
nouvellement
ouverts
I
awakened
to
the
cry
Je
me
suis
réveillé
au
cri
That
the
people
have
the
power
Que
les
gens
ont
le
pouvoir
To
redeem
the
work
of
fools
De
racheter
le
travail
des
imbéciles
Upon
the
meek
the
graces
shower
Sur
les
doux
la
grâce
pleut
It′s
decreed
the
people
rule
Il
est
décrété
que
les
gens
règnent
The
people
have
the
power
Les
gens
ont
le
pouvoir
The
people
have
the
power
Les
gens
ont
le
pouvoir
The
people
have
the
power
Les
gens
ont
le
pouvoir
The
people
have
the
power
Les
gens
ont
le
pouvoir
Vengeful
aspects
became
suspect
Les
aspects
vengeurs
sont
devenus
suspects
And
bending
low
as
if
to
hear
Et
se
penchant
comme
pour
entendre
And
the
armies
ceased
advancing
Et
les
armées
ont
cessé
d'avancer
Because
the
people
had
their
ear
Parce
que
les
gens
avaient
leur
oreille
And
the
shepherds
and
the
soldiers
Et
les
bergers
et
les
soldats
Lay
beneath
the
stars
Couchés
sous
les
étoiles
Exchanging
visions
Échangeant
des
visions
And
laying
arms
Et
posant
les
armes
To
waste
in
the
dust
Pour
les
gaspiller
dans
la
poussière
In
the
form
of
shining
valleys
Sous
la
forme
de
vallées
brillantes
Where
the
pure
air
recognized
Où
l'air
pur
reconnu
And
my
senses
newly
opened
Et
mes
sens
nouvellement
ouverts
I
awakened
to
the
cry
Je
me
suis
réveillé
au
cri

le
pouvoir

Where
there
were
deserts
Là
où
il
y
avait
des
déserts
I
saw
fountains
J'ai
vu
des
fontaines
Like
cream
the
waters
rise
Les
eaux
montent
comme
de
la
crème
And
we
strolled
there
together
Et
nous
nous
y
sommes
promenés
ensemble
With
none
to
laugh
or
criticize
Sans
personne
pour
rire
ou
critiquer
And
the
leopard
Et
le
léopard
And
the
lamb
Et
l'agneau
Lay
together
truly
bound
Couche
ensemble
vraiment
attaché
I
was
hoping
in
my
hoping

dans
mon
espoir

had
found
Pour

que
j'avais

dreaming

rêvais
dans

knows
a
purer
view

sait
une
vue
plus
pure
As

surrender
to
my
sleeping
Alors
que
je
m'abandonne
à
mon
sommeil

my
dream
to
you
Je
vous
confie
