Les paroles de la chanson
« Sinnerman »
Nina Simone

Oh Sinnerman, where you gonna run to?
Sinnerman, where you gonna run to?
Where you gonna run to,
All along dem day?

Well I run to the rock,
"Please hide me". I run to the rock,
"Please hide me". I run to the rock,
"Please hide me, Lord, All along dem day".

But the rock cried out,
"I can’t hide you". The rock cried out,
"I can’t hide you". The rock cried out,
"I ain’t gonna hide you guy, all along dem day".

I said, "Rock, what’s a matter with you rock?
Don’t you see I need you, rock,
Lord, Lord, Lord,
All along dem day? "

So I run to the river,
It was bleedin’. I run to the sea,
It was bleedin’. I run to the sea,
It was bleedin’, all along dem day.

So I run to the river,
It was boilin’. I run to the sea,
It was boilin’. I run to the sea,
It was boilin’, along dem day.

So I run to the lord,
"Please hide me lord
Don’t you see me prayin’?
Don’t you see me down here prayin’?"

But the lord said,
"Go to the devil". The lord said,
"Go to the devil."
He said, "Go to the devil, all along dem day".

So I ran to the devil,
He was waitin’. I ran to the devil,
He was waitin’. Ran to the devil,
He was waitin’, all on that day.

I cried:
“POWER!!!!!!!!” (Power to da Lord) [8x]
“Bring down!” (Power to da lord), [4x]
“POWER!!!” (Power to da lord) [12x]


[Instrumental]


Oh yeah,
Woh yeah,
Oh yeah!

Oh I run to the river,
It was boilin’. I run to the sea,
It was boilin’. I run to the sea,
It was boilin’, along dem day.

So I ran to the Lord
I said, "Lord, hide me,
please hide me,
Please help me along dem day".

He said, "Child, where were you
When you oughta been prayin’?"

I said, "Lord, Lord,
Hear me prayin’. Lord, Lord,
Hear me prayin’. Lord, Lord,
Hear me prayin’, all along dem day".

"Sinnerman you oughta be prayin’
Oughta be prayin’, Sinnerman
Oughta be prayin’, all on that day"

I cried:
POWER!!!!!!! (Power to da Lord) [12x]
Go down (Power to da Lord) [3x]
POWER!!!!!!! (Power to da Lord) [3x]

(Manamanama!!)

Don’t you know that I need you?
Don’t you know that I need you?
