Slave Driver
Bob Marley| Original | Version française d'après Slavedriver |
| SLAVE DRIVER Ooh-ooh-oo-ooh. Oo-oo-ooh! Oo-oo-ooh. Slave driver, the table is turn; (catch a fire) Catch a fire, so you can get burn, now. (catch a fire) Slave driver, the table is turn; (catch a fire) Catch a fire: gonna get burn. (catch a fire) Wo, now! Ev'rytime I hear the crack of a whip, My blood runs cold. I remember on the slave ship, How they brutalize the very souls. Today they say that we are free, Only to be chained in poverty. Good God, I think it's illiteracy; It's only a machine that makes money. Slave driver, the table is turn, y'all. Ooh-ooh-oo-ooh. Slave driver, uh! The table is turn, baby, now; (catch a fire) Catch a fire, so you can get burn, baby, now. (catch a fire) Slave driver, the table is turn, y'all; (catch a fire) Catch a fire: so you can get burn, now. (catch a fire) Ev'rytime I hear the crack of a whip, My blood runs cold. I remember on the slave ship, How they brutalize the very soul. O God, have mercy on our souls! Oh, slave driver, the table is turn, y'all; (catch a fire) Catch a fire, so you can get burn. (catch a fire) Slave driver, the table is turn, y'all; (catch a fire) Catch a fire ... | MARCHANDS D'ESCLAVES Marchands d'esclaves, le vent a tourné Si tu attrapes le feu, tu peux te bruler A chaque fois que j'entends le claquement du fouet Mon sang se glace Je me souviens des bateaux d'esclaves Où ils nous maltraitaient Aujourd'hui ils disent que nous sommes libres Mais on est pris dans la pauvreté Oh Dieu! Je crois que tout çà C'est une machine à faire de l'argent Marchands d'esclaves, le vent a tourné Si tu attrapes le feu, tu peux te bruler |
