Paroles de Nina Simone - Why? (The King of Love Is Dead)

What? gonna happen now? In all of our cities?

My people are rising; they?e living in lies.

Even if they have to die

Even if they have to die at the moment they know what life is

Even at that one moment that ya know what life is

If you have to die, it? all right

Cause you know what life is

You know what freedom is for one moment of your life



But he had seen the mountaintop

And he knew he could not stop

Always living with the threat of death ahead

Folks you? better stop and think

Everybody knows we?e on the brink

What will happen, now that the King is dead?



We can all shed tears; it won? change a thing

Teach your people: Will they ever learn?

Must you always kill with burn and burn with guns

And kill with guns and burn - don? you know how we gotta react?



But he had seen the mountaintop

And he knew he could not stop

Always living with the threat of death ahead

Folks you? better stop and think

Everybody knows we?e on the brink

What will happen, now that the King of love is dead?

Traduction de Nina Simone - Why? (The King of Love Is Dead)

Quelle? ça va arriver maintenant? Dans toutes nos villes?

Mon peuple se lève; ils vivent dans des mensonges.

Même s'ils doivent mourir

Même s'ils doivent mourir au moment où ils savent ce qu'est la vie

Même à ce moment où tu sais ce qu'est la vie

Si tu dois mourir, ça? d'accord

Parce que tu sais ce qu'est la vie

Vous savez ce qu'est la liberté pour un moment de votre vie



Mais il avait vu le sommet de la montagne

Et il savait qu'il ne pouvait pas s'arrêter

Vivant toujours avec la menace de mort à venir

Vous les amis? mieux vaut s'arrêter et réfléchir

Tout le monde sait que nous sommes sur le point

Que va-t-il se passer, maintenant que le roi est mort?



Nous pouvons tous verser des larmes; il a gagné? changer une chose

Enseignez à votre peuple: apprendront-ils jamais?

Devez-vous toujours tuer avec des brûlures et brûler avec des armes à feu

Et tuer avec des fusils et brûler - Don? tu sais comment on doit réagir?



Mais il avait vu le sommet de la montagne

Et il savait qu'il ne pouvait pas s'arrêter

Vivant toujours avec la menace de mort à venir

Vous les amis? mieux vaut s'arrêter et réfléchir

Tout le monde sait que nous sommes sur le point

Que va-t-il se passer, maintenant que le roi de l'amour est mort?

    Les meilleures paroles de cette chanson sont celle de la version de l\'album \"live\" Nuff Said. Celles ci-dessus sont largement tronquées.

    Once upon this planet earth,
    Lived a man of humble birth,
    Preaching love and freedom for his fellow man,

    He was dreaming of a day,
    Peace would come to earth to stay,
    And he spread this message all across the land.

    Turn the other cheek he�d plead,
    Love thy neighbor was his creed,
    Pain humiliation death, he did not dread

    With his Bible at his side,
    From his foes he did not hide,
    It�s hard to think that this great man is dead. (Oh yes)

    Will the murders never cease,
    Are thy men or are they beasts?
    What do they ever hope, ever hope to gain?

    Will my country fall, stand or fall?
    Is it too late for us all?
    And did Martin Luther King just die in vain?

    Cos he�d seen the mountain top,
    And he knew he could not stop,
    Always living with the threat of death ahead.

    Folks you�d better stop and think
    Cos we�re heading for the brink.
    What will happen now that he is dead?

    He was for equality,
    For all people you and me,
    Full of love and good will, hate was not his way.

    He was not a violent man.
    Tell me folks if you can,
    Just why, why was he shot down the other day?

    Well see he�d seen, the mountain top.
    And he knew he could not stop,
    Always living with the threat of death ahead.

    Folks you�d better stop and think�and feel again,
    For we�re heading for the brink.
    What�s gonna happen now that the king of love is dead?
