Lyrics and translation Solomon Jabby - Song for the Oppressed

Song for the Oppressed

Come all ye, who are oppressed and heavy laden,
Come all ye, who are oppressed and heavy laden,

Well you will find your rest, when you lay down the mess,
Then He will carry you through the fire.

Blessed are the poor in spirit,
Call His name and you will hear it,
He is always close to the broken hearted.

Come all ye, who are oppressed and heavy laden
Come all ye, who are oppressed and heavy laden

He will break all the chains of oppression,
As we break His daily bread,
Let us make His will our obsession, just like Kind David

And then we′ll see our deliverance,
And to the Kind we'll start to chant,
We lift our hands and give all thanks and praises, yeah.

Come all ye, who are oppressed and heavy laden
Come all ye, who are oppressed and heavy laden

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.

Come all ye, who are oppressed and heavy laden
Come all ye, who are oppressed and heavy laden

Chanson pour les opprimés

Venez, vous qui êtes opprimés et chargés,
Venez, vous qui êtes opprimés et chargés,

Vous trouverez votre repos, quand vous poserez le fardeau,
Alors il vous portera à travers le feu.

Bienheureux sont les pauvres en esprit,
Invoquez son nom et vous l'entendrez,
Il est toujours proche des cœurs brisés.

Venez, vous qui êtes opprimés et chargés
Venez, vous qui êtes opprimés et chargés

Il brisera toutes les chaînes de l'oppression,
Comme nous rompons son pain quotidien,
Faisons de sa volonté notre obsession, comme le roi David

Et alors nous verrons notre délivrance,
Et au roi, nous commencerons à chanter,
Nous levons les mains et rendons grâces et louanges, oui.

Venez, vous qui êtes opprimés et chargés
Venez, vous qui êtes opprimés et chargés

Ne nous conduis pas à la tentation, mais délivre-nous du malin.

Venez, vous qui êtes opprimés et chargés
Venez, vous qui êtes opprimés et chargés
