Tracy Chapman - All That You Have Is Your Soul (with Lyrics / avec Lyriques)

Tracy Chapman "All That You Have Is Your Soul"
(in English - See French translation below) /
(en anglais - voir la traduction française ci-dessous) :

Oh my mama told me
'Cause she say she learned the hard way
She say she wanna spare the children
She say don't give or sell your soul away
'Cause all that you have is your soul

Don't be tempted by the shiny apple
Don't you eat of a bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
'Cause all that you have is your soul

Well I was a pretty young girl once
I had dreams I had high hopes
I married a man he stole my heart away
He gave his love but what a high price I paid
All that you have is your soul

Don't be tempted by the shiny apple
Don't you eat of a bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
'Cause all that you have is your soul

Why was I such a young fool
Thought I'd make history
Making babies was the best I could do
Thought I'd made something that could be mine forever
Found out the hard way one can't possess another
And all that you have is your soul

Don't be tempted by the shiny apple
Don't you eat of a bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
'Cause all that you have is your soul

I thought, thought that I could find a way
To beat the system
To make a deal and have no debts to pay
I'd take it all, I'd take it all, I'd run away
Me for myself first class and first rate
But all that you have is your soul

Don't be tempted by the shiny apple
Don't you eat of a bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
'Cause all that you have is your soul

Here I am, I'm waiting for a better day
A second chance
A little luck to come my way
A hope to dream, a hope that I can sleep again
And wake in the world with a clear conscience and clean hands
'Cause all that you have is your soul

Don't be tempted by the shiny apple
Don't you eat of a bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
'Cause all that you have is your soul

Oh my mama told me
'Cause she say she learned the hard way
She say she wanna spare the children
She say don't give or sell your soul away
'Cause all that you have is your soul

All that you have
All that you have
All that you have
Is your soul

French Translation / Traduction française :

Tracy Chapman « Tout ce que tu as est ton âme »

Oh ma mère m'a dit
parce qu'elle dit qu'elle a appris de la manière forte
elle dit qu'elle veut épargner les enfants
elle dit "ne donne pas ou ne vend pas ton âme"
parce que tout ce que tu as est ton âme

(Refrain) Ne soit pas tenté par la pomme brillante
ne mange pas de fruit amer
N'ais faim que pour le goût de la justice
N'ais faim que pour un monde de vérité
parce que tout ce que tu as est ton âme

J'ai été une jolie jeune fille autrefois
j'avais des rêves j'avais de grands espoirs
je me suis mariée à un homme qui a volé mon coeur
il m'a donné son amour mais quel prix élévé j'ai payé
et tout ce que tu as est ton âme

(Refrain)

Pourquoi ai-je été une telle jeune idiote
pensant que j'allais faire l'histoire
faire des enfants fut le meilleur que j'ai pu faire
pensant que j'allais réussir ma vie qu'elle serait mienne pour toujours
j'ai trouvé la voie la plus difficile que l'on puisse avoir
et tout ce que tu as est ton âme

(Refrain)

J'ai pensé pensé que je pourrais trouver ma voie
battre le système
faire un marché avec lui et ne pas avoir de dettes à payer
je lui prendrais tout lui prendrais tout et m'enfuirais
moi pour moi-même première classe et tarif réduit
mais tout ce que tu as est ton âme

(Refrain)

Ici je suis en train d'attendre un meilleur jour
une seconde chance
une petite chance pour que mon chemin vienne
un espoir de rêver l'espoir que je pourrais dormir encore
et me réveiller dans le monde avec une conscience tranquille et des mains propres
parce que tout ce que tu as est ton âme

(Refrain)

Oh ma mère m'a dit
parce qu'elle dit qu'elle a appris de la manière forte
elle dit qu'elle veut épargner les enfants
elle dit "ne donne pas ou ne vend pas ton âme"
parce que tout ce que tu as est ton âme

tout ce que tu as
tout ce que tu as
tout ce que tu as
est ton âme
