(Jimmy Cliff)
Oh yeah, but oh yeah, oh yeah, alright
Oh yeah, but oh yeah, oh yeah, alright
Ils me parlèrent d'une tarte dans le ciel
Qu'ils attendent de moi que je meurs
Well they tell me of a pie up in the sky
Mais entre le jour de ta naissance et celui de ta mort
Waiting for me when I die
Ils ne semble ni même entendre tes pleurs
But between the day you're born and when you die
They never seem to hear even your cry
Mais aussi sur que le soleil brillera
Je prendrai la part qui me revient
So as sure as the sun will shine
Et plus il en viendra, plus il en tombera du premier au dernier
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
And then the harder they come, the harder they'll fall, one and all
Les oppresseurs essaient de m'abaisser
Ooh, the harder they come, the harder they'll fall, one and all
De m'entrainer 6 pieds sous terre
Et ils pensent avoir gagner la bataille
Well, the oppressors are tryin' to keep me down
Je dis seigneur pardonne les, ils ne savent pas ce qu'ils font
Tryin' to drive me underground
And they think that they have got the battle won
Parce qu' aussi sur que le soleil brillera
I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done
Je prendrai maintenant la part qui me revient
Et alors, plus il en viendra, plus il en tombera, du premier au dernier
'Cos as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
Oh yeah, well oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
And then the harder they come, the harder they'll fall, one and all
Ooh, the harder they come, harder they'll fall, one and all
Mais je continuerai à me battre pour ce que je veux
Tant je sais que lorsqu'on est mort on ne le peut plus
Oh yeah, well oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Mais je préfère être un homme libre dans ma tombe
Plutôt qu'une marionnette ou un esclave
But I'll keep on fighting for the things I want
Though I know that when you're dead you can't
Mais aussi sur que le soleil brillera
But I'd rather be a free man in my grave
Je prendrai la part qui me revient
Then living as a puppet or a slave
Et plus il en viendra, plus il en tombera du premier au dernier
So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share right now of what's mine
And then the harder they come, the harder they'll fall, one and all
Ooh, the harder they come, harder they'll fall, one and all
Yeah, the harder they come, the harder they'll fall, one and all
(Wanna say now, wanna say now - oh
Wanna say now, wanna say one more time)
Yeah, the harder they come, harder they'll fall, one and all ...
