Les paroles de la chanson
« Rolling ocean »
Johnny Clegg
CHORUS
You are the rolling ocean
You are yhe mighty sea
You are the breath that brings each new day to me
You are what you are, you are
You be what you are, you be what you are
Some came to conquer
Some came to understand
Some came to live as best they can
Me, I looked up to the stars to find my way
But I was young and I got them mixed up
And so forgot my name
And I tried to remember you were standing next to me
While others came seekink power
You, you had come to set them free
CHORUS
Women of salt and earth
Tehy tell the same story
They saw you walking, wounded
Wearing rags of glory
And when you rejoiced they saw you smiling at your rejoicing
When you wept they saw you smiling at your weeping
When you smiled they saw you smiling at your smiling
And you said "Tht’s the way I’ve survived;these years of dust and blood."
CHORUS
Suffer little children
Suffer sister, brother too
That’s all the world can promise you
In our hearts we feel it
A mighty dream is coming true
Hold on and we’ll dream it
Keep it up we’re going to push it through
Don’t give it up, don’t give it up
CHORUS
You are the rolling ocean
You are yhe mighty sea
You are the breath that brings each new day to me
You are what you are, you are
You be what you are, you be what you are
Some came to conquer
Some came to understand
Some came to live as best they can
Me, I looked up to the stars to find my way
But I was young and I got them mixed up
And so forgot my name
And I tried to remember you were standing next to me
While others came seekink power
You, you had come to set them free
CHORUS
Women of salt and earth
Tehy tell the same story
They saw you walking, wounded
Wearing rags of glory
And when you rejoiced they saw you smiling at your rejoicing
When you wept they saw you smiling at your weeping
When you smiled they saw you smiling at your smiling
And you said "Tht’s the way I’ve survived;these years of dust and blood."
CHORUS
Suffer little children
Suffer sister, brother too
That’s all the world can promise you
In our hearts we feel it
A mighty dream is coming true
Hold on and we’ll dream it
Keep it up we’re going to push it through
Don’t give it up, don’t give it up
