Lyrics and translation Patti Smith - Privilege (Set Me Free)
I
see
it
all
before
me:
Je
vois
tout
devant
moi:
The
days
of
love
and
torment;
Les
jours
d'amour
et
de
tourments;
The
nights
of
rock-and-roll.
Les
nuits
de
rock
'n'
roll.
I
see
it
all
before
me.
Je
vois
tout
devant
moi.
Sometimes
my
spirit's
empty;
Parfois
mon
esprit
est
vide;
Don't
have
the
will
to
go
on.
Je
n'ai
pas
la
volonté
de
continuer.
I
wish
someone
would
send
me
J'aimerais
que
quelqu'un
m'envoie
Energy.
De
l'énergie.
Give
me
something.
Donne-moi
quelque
chose.
Give
me
something
to
give.
Donne-moi
quelque
chose
à
donner.
Oh,
God,
give
me
something:
Oh,
Dieu,
donne-moi
quelque
chose:
A
reason
to
live.
Une
raison
de
vivre.
My
body
is
aching.
Mon
corps
est
endolori.
Don't
want
sympathy.
Je
ne
veux
pas
de
sympathie.
Come
on.
Come
and
love
me.
Viens.
Viens
m'aimer.
Come
on.
Set
me
free.
Viens.
Libère-moi.
Set
me
free.
Libère-moi.
The
Lord
is
my
shepherd.
I
shall
not
want.
Le
Seigneur
est
mon
berger.
Je
ne
manquerai
de
rien.
He
maketh
me
to
lie
down
in
green
pastures.
Il
me
fait
reposer
dans
de
verts
pâturages.
He
leadeth
me
beside
the
still
waters.
Il
me
conduit
près
des
eaux
tranquilles.
He
restoreth
my
soul.
Il
restaure
mon
âme.
He
leadeth
me
through
the
path
of
righteousness
for
His
name's
sake.
Il
me
conduit
sur
le
sentier
de
la
justice
pour
l'amour
de
son
nom.
Yea,
though
I
walk
through
the
valley
of
the
shadow
of
death,
Oui,
même
si
je
marche
dans
la
vallée
de
l'ombre
de
la
mort,
I
will
fear
no
evil,
for
Thou
art
with
me.
Je
ne
craindrai
aucun
mal,
car
tu
es
avec
moi.
Hey,
Lord,
I'm
waitin'
for
you.
Hé,
Seigneur,
je
t'attends.
Oh,
God,
I'm
waitin'
for
you;
Oh,
Dieu,
je
t'attends;
Waitin'
to
open
Your
ninety-eight
wounds
J'attends
d'ouvrir
tes
quatre-vingt-dix-huit
plaies
And
be
Thee,
be
Thee.
Et
d'être
toi,
d'être
toi.
Lead
me,
oh,
lead
me.
Conduis-moi,
oh,
conduis-moi.
Leave
me
something.
Laisse-moi
quelque
chose.
Leave
me
something
to
live.
Laisse-moi
quelque
chose
pour
vivre.
Oh,
God,
give
me
something:
Oh,
Dieu,
donne-moi
quelque
chose:
A
reason
to
live.
Une
raison
de
vivre.
I
don't
want
no
handout;
Je
ne
veux
pas
d'aumône;
No,
not
sympathy.
Non,
pas
de
sympathie.
Come
on.
Come
and
love
me.

Viens
m'aimer.
Come
on.
Set
me
free.
Viens.
Libère-moi.
Set
me
free.
Libère-moi.
Come
on.
Set
me
free
Viens.
Libère-moi
Set
me
free
...
Libère-moi

Oh,
I'm
so
young,
so
goddamn
young.
Oh,
je
suis
si
jeune,
tellement
putain
de
jeune.
Oh,
I'm
so
young,
so
goddamn
young.
Oh,
je
suis
si
jeune,
tellement
putain
de
jeune.
Oh,
I'm
so
young,
so
goddamn.
Oh,
je
suis
si
jeune,
tellement
putain
de.
Set
me
free.
Libère-moi.
In
the
presence
of
my
enemies,
En
présence
de
mes
ennemis,
Thou
anointest
my
head
with
oil.
Tu
oins
ma
tête
d'huile.
My
cup
runneth
over.
Ma
coupe
déborde.
Surely,
goodness
and
mercy
shall
follow
me
Sûrement,
la
bonté
et
la
miséricorde
me
suivront
All
the
days
of
my
life.
Tous
les
jours
de
ma
vie.
And
I
shall
dwell
in
the
house
of
the
Lord
forever.
Et
j'habiterai
dans
la
maison
du
Seigneur
pour
toujours.
Ah,
damn,
goddamn,
goddamn,
goddamn.
Ah,
merde,
putain,
putain,
putain.
Here
I
am.
Me
voici.
