Lyrics

Victims - Lucky Dube

...

Didn, t know she was crying

Je ne savais pas qu'elle pleurait

Until now as she turns to look at me

Jusqu'à maintenant et qu'elle se tourne pour me regarder

She said boy o' boy you bring tears to my eyes

Elle me dit garçon, oh garçon, tu me mets les larmes aux yeux

I said what, she said

J'ai dit quoi, elle a dit

Boy o' boy you bring tears to my eyes

Garçon, oh garçon, tu me mets les larmes aux yeux

Bob Marley said

Bob Marley a dit

How long shall they kill our prophets

Combien de temps doivent-ils encore tuer nos prophètes

While we stand aside and look

Pendant que nous restons à côté à regarder

But little did he know that

Mais savait-il cela

Eventually the enemy

Que finalement les ennemis

Will stand aside and look

Resterons à côté à nous regarder

While we slash and kill

Pendant que nous battons et tuons

Our own brothers

Nos propres frères

Knowing that already

Sachant que déjà

They are the victims of the situation

Ils sont les victimes de la situation

Still licking wounds from brutality

Encore beaucoup de blessures dues à la violence

Still licking wounds from humiliation

Encore beaucoup de blessures dues à l'humiliation

She said all these words and the

Elle a dit tout ces mots et les

Wrinkles on her face became

Rides de son visage devinrent

Perfect trails for the tears and she said;

Les parfaits chemins de ces larmes et elle dit;

Chorus : (x3)

Refrain : (x3)

We are the victims everytime

Nous sommes tout le temps les victimes

We got double trouble everytime

On a tout le temps des doubles problèmes

She took me outside to the churchyard

Elle m'emmena dehors au cimetière

Showed me graves on the ground

Me montra les tombes sur le sol

And she said;

Et elle dit;

There lies a man who fought for equality

Là repose un homme qui s'est battu pour l'égalité

There lies a boy who died in his struggle

Là repose un garçon qui est mort dans sa lutte

Can all these heroes die in vain

Est-ce que tout ces héros peuvent mourir en vain

While we slash and kill our own brothers

Pendant que nous battons et tuons nos propres frères

Knowing that already they are the

Sachant que déjà ils sont les

Victims of the situation

Victimes de la situation

Still licking wounds from brutality

Encore beaucoup de blessures dues à la violence

Still licking wounds from humiliation

Encore beaucoup de blessures dues à l'humiliation
