Alan Stivell "Crimes" lyrics

Translation to:en

Crimes

NeverWill the clouds fade awayO'er the sky of your life

Jamais une nuit sans fantômeLit by the bloody knifeSans le rouge au couteau

NeverWill the ghosts give wayOver your home, I swearIn this world or elsewhere!Jamais que leur regard

Pitié tueurs, ou malheur,Dans ce monde ou ailleurs,Vous n'aurez ni repos ni bonheur,De la honte connaitrez l'horreur!

Ennon e donder ma c'halon bout 'zo 'n dra 'gana 'n ton'Vidon e donder ma c'halon bout 'zo un dra 'gana 'n ton'vidomp e donder hor c'halon,E vougomp bewezh ma o tontAr vezh 'arnomp da vout hanvet den,Hanvet denPa vez 'n den alies gwasoc'h evit al loen

Ni Dieu,Ni homme n'en donne le droitNi vous en rendra grâceD'être pire que bestialMac'homerien tud sklav

Pitié,Vendeur d'armes, voleur d'âmes,Tueur au nom des lois,Marc'hadourien armoùOu prétendu idéal!Pe laeron eneoù

Let heaven curse you allHangmen and criminalsKilling by law or by so-called idealYour shame will be etemal!

Ennon e donder ma c'halon bout 'zo 'n dra 'gana 'n ton'Vidon e donder ma c'halon bout 'zo un dra 'gana 'n ton

En moi au fond du coeurChante une triste mélodiePour nous au fond du coeurNous l'étouffons toutes les fois qu'elle revientLa honte de s'appeler humainsQuand l'homme est pire que la bête

Crimes

NeverWill the clouds fade awayO’er the sky of your life

Never a night without ghosts1Lit by the bloody knifeWithout red on the knife1

NeverWill the ghosts give wayOver your home, I swearIn this world or elsewhere!Never their look1

Pity killers, or misfortune,In this world or elsewhere,You will have neither rest nor happiness,From the shame you’ll know the horror!

There, in the depths of my heart, sings a melody2For me, in the depths of my heart, sings a melodyFor us, in the depths of our heart,We stifle it every time it comes backShame on us for being called human,Called human,When so often we are worse than beasts

Neither God,1Nor man gives the rightNor will you give thanksFor being worse than a beastOppressors of enslaved people2

Pity,Arms dealers, soul stealersKiller in the name of laws,Arms dealers2Or so-called ideals!Stealers of souls2

Let heaven curse you allHangmen and criminalsKilling by law or by so-called idealYou shame will be eternal!

There, in the depths of my heart, sings a melody2For me, in the depths of my heart, sings a melody

Inside of me, at the bottom of my heart1Sings a sad melodyFor us, at the bottom of the heartWe stifle it each time it comes backThe shame of being called humansWhen man is worse than beast
