paroles de chanson The Tempest - The Real McKenzies

We are all born free,
But forever live in chains,
And we battle to exist and soldier on.
We'll take whatever comes to be
While keeping hopeful melody
And will cruise through the darkness
Until the warmth of dawn.

So row row you bastards.
You never can tell.
Through water like glass
Above a briny hell.
So row a little harder
Come give'r all you can.
Or the sea she will best us
We'll never see the land.

We carry on the burden and we hide our grimace well.
For the day will come for us to mutiny.
But as long as we survive
Our hope and pride they can't deprive.
And we'll carry on our melody
To sing in harmony.

So row row you bastards.
You never can tell.
Over water like glass
Above a briny hell.
So row a little harder
Come give'r all you can.
Or the sea she will best us
We'll never see the land.

So row row you bastards.
You never can tell.
The ocean a tempest
Or the land a stormy hell
So row a little harder
Till bloody ore in hand.
Or the sea she will best us
We'll never see the land.

We are racked from the hardships.
Exhausted by the years.
We can still escape this barren misery.
But even with our shackled wrists
We can fight our way through this.
And we'll power all aboard this ship to total liberty.

So row row you bastards.
You never can tell.
The ocean a tempest
Or the land a stormy hell
So row a little harder
Till bloody ore in hand.
Or the sea she will best us
We'll never see the land.

So row row you bastards.
You never can tell.
The ocean a tempest
Or the land a stormy hell
So row a little harder
Till bloody ore in hand.
Or the sea she will best us
We'll never see the land.

Or the sea she will best us
We'll never see the land.

Or the sea she will best us
We'll never see the land.
