Lyrics and translation Stevie Wonder - Redemption Song
Old
pirates,
yes,
they
rob
I;
Les
vieux
pirates,
oui,
ils
m'ont
volé ;
Sold
I
to
the
merchant
ships--
Ils
m'ont
vendu
aux
navires
marchands--
Minutes
after
they
took
I
Des
minutes
après
qu'ils
m'aient
pris
From
the
bottomless
pit.
Du
fond
du
gouffre.
But
my
hand
was
made
strong
Mais
ma
main
a
été
fortifiée
By
the
'and
of
the
Almighty.
Par
la
main
du
Tout-Puissant.
We
fought
in
this
generation
Nous
nous
sommes
battus
dans
cette
génération
Triumphantly.
Triomphalement.
Won't
you
help
to
sing
Ne
veux-tu
pas
m'aider
à
chanter
These
songs
of
freedom?
--
Ces
chants
de
liberté ?
--
'Cause
all
I
ever
have:
Parce
que
tout
ce
que
j'ai
jamais
eu :
Redemption
songs
Des
chants
de
rédemption
Redemption
songs.
Des
chants
de
rédemption.
Emancipate
yourselves
from
mental
slavery;
Émancipez-vous
de
l'esclavage
mental ;
None
but
ourselves
can
free
our
minds.
Seuls
nous
pouvons
libérer
nos
esprits.
Have
no
fear
for
atomic
energy,
N'aie
pas
peur
de
l'énergie
atomique,
'Cause
none
of
them
can
stop
the
time.
Car
aucun
d'eux
ne
peut
arrêter
le
temps.
How
long
shall
they
kill
our
prophets,
Combien
de
temps
vont-ils
tuer
nos
prophètes,
While
we
stand
aside
and
look?
Oooh!
Alors
que
nous
restons
à
l'écart
et
regardons ?
Oooh !
Some
say
it's
just
a
part
of
it:
Certains
disent
que
ce
n'est
qu'une
partie
de
ça :
We've
got
to
fulfill
the
book.
Nous
devons
accomplir
le
livre.
