Lyrics and translation Stevie Wonder - Feeding off the Love of the Land
Seems
the
wisdom
of
man
hasn't
got
much
wiser
Il
semble
que
la
sagesse
de
l'homme
n'a
pas
beaucoup
progressé
Than
the
very
beginning
of
our
time
Depuis
le
tout
début
de
notre
temps
Agree
or
war
has
been
our
way
of
compromising
Accord
ou
guerre
a
été
notre
façon
de
faire
des
compromis
Let
live
and
love
has
become
our
biggest
lie
Vivre
et
aimer
est
devenu
notre
plus
grand
mensonge
Seems
to
me
that
fools
are
even
more
foolish
Il
me
semble
que
les
fous
sont
encore
plus
fous
Thinking
of
themselves
and
nobody
else
Pensant
à
eux-mêmes
et
à
personne
d'autre
But
then
if
asked
for
poor
will
riches
be
replenished
Mais
alors,
si
on
demande
aux
pauvres,
les
richesses
seront-elles
reconstituées
?
They
say
boot
straps
must
be
pulled
up
by
themselves
Ils
disent
que
les
sangles
doivent
être
tirées
par
eux-mêmes
Feeding
off
the
love
of
the
land
Se
nourrir
de
l'amour
de
la
terre
Leaving
much
to
be
desired
Laissant
beaucoup
à
désirer
Living
off
the
love
of
the
Lord
Vivre
de
l'amour
du
Seigneur
While
the
price
for
life
is
higher
Alors
que
le
prix
de
la
vie
est
plus
élevé
Isn't
love
to
be
admired
L'amour
n'est-il
pas
à
admirer
?
Has
the
good
in
man
expired
Le
bien
chez
l'homme
a-t-il
disparu
?
Stealing
all
the
love
and
the
beauty
from
the
land
Volant
tout
l'amour
et
la
beauté
de
la
terre
I
awake
each
morning
to
the
birds
a-singing
Je
me
réveille
chaque
matin
au
chant
des
oiseaux
Singing
out
to
God
to
come
and
save
his
own
Chantant
à
Dieu
de
venir
sauver
les
siens
But
when
throughout
the
world
the
cry
of
love
is
ringing
Mais
quand
à
travers
le
monde
le
cri
de
l'amour
retentit
Is
then
when
He'll
stop
to
hear
our
song
C'est
alors
qu'il
s'arrêtera
pour
entendre
notre
chant
Did
you
know
that
when
you
feel
the
earth
a-shaken
Saviez-vous
que
lorsque
vous
sentez
la
terre
trembler
It's
only
mother
nature
with
a
crying
heart
Ce
n'est
que
mère
nature
avec
un
cœur
qui
pleure
You
see
we
have
taken
from
her
for
so
many
ages
Tu
vois,
nous
avons
pris
d'elle
pendant
tant
de
siècles
Will
there
be
a
time
when
taking
stops
and
giving
starts
Y
aura-t-il
un
moment
où
prendre
s'arrête
et
donner
commence
?
'Cause
we're
feeding
off
the
love
of
the
land
Parce
que
nous
nous
nourrissons
de
l'amour
de
la
terre
Leaving
much
to
be
desired
Laissant
beaucoup
à
désirer
Living
off
the
love
of
the
Lord
Vivre
de
l'amour
du
Seigneur
While
the
price
for
life
is
higher
Alors
que
le
prix
de
la
vie
est
plus
élevé
Isn't
love
to
be
admired
L'amour
n'est-il
pas
à
admirer
?
Has
the
good
in
man
expired
Le
bien
chez
l'homme
a-t-il
disparu
?
Stealing
all
the
love
and
the
beauty
from
the
land
Volant
tout
l'amour
et
la
beauté
de
la
terre
Yes
we
are
feeding
off
the
love
of
the
land
Oui,
nous
nous
nourrissons
de
l'amour
de
la
terre
Never
hearing
what
He's
saying
N'entendant
jamais
ce
qu'il
dit
Living
off
the
love
of
the
Lord
Vivre
de
l'amour
du
Seigneur
Never
feeling
what
you're
praying
Ne
jamais
ressentir
ce
que
tu
pries
Never
praising
Him
for
beauty
Ne
jamais
le
louer
pour
la
beauté
Only
praying
God
please
give
me
Priant
seulement
Dieu,
s'il
te
plaît,
donne-moi

la
terre
Stealing
all
