ARMSTRONG

Armstrong, je ne suis pas noir,
Je suis blanc de peau
Quand on veut chan
ter l'espoir
Quel manque de pot !
Oui j'ai beau voir le ciel, l'oiseau
Rien, rien ne lui là-haut
Les anges, zéro
Je suis blanc de peau.

Armstrong, tu te fends la poire,
On voit toutes tes dents,
Moi je broie plutôt du noir
Du noir en dedans.

Chante pour moi, Louis, oh oui,
Chante, chante, chante ça tient chaud
J'ai froid, oh moi
Qui suis blanc de peau.

Armstrong, la vie quelle histoire !
C'est pas très marrant
Qu'on l'écrive blanc sur noir
Ou bien noir sur blanc
On voit surtout du roug
e, du rouge,
Sang, sang, sans trêve ni repos,
Qu'on soit, ma foi
Noir ou blanc de peau.

Armstrong, un jour, tôt ou tard
On n'est que des os...
Est-ce que les tiens seront noirs
Ce s'rait rigolo
Allez Louis, alléluia,
Au-delà de nos oripeaux,

Noir et Blanc sont ressemblants
Comme deux gouttes d'eau.

O LET MY PEOPLE GO (THE SONG OF THE CONTRABANDS)

The Lord by Moses to Pharaoh said:
“O let my people go!
If not, I’ll smite your firstborn dead,
Then let my people go!”

[REFRAIN sung after each VERSE]
O! go down, Moses,
Away down to Egypt’s land,
And tell King Pharaoh,
To let my people go!

CHORUS [sung after each REFRAIN]
O! go down, Moses,
Away down to Egypt’s land,
And tell King Pharaoh,
To let my people go!

No more shall they in bondage toll,
O let my people go!
Let them come out with Egypt’s spoil,
O let my people go!

Haste, Moses, ’till the sea you’ve crossed,
O let my people go!
Pharaoh, shall in the deep be lost,
O let my people go!

The sea before you shall divide,
O let my people go!
You’ll cross dryshod to the other side,
O let my people go!

Fear not King Pharaoh or his host,
O let my people go!
They all shall in the sea be lost,
O let my people go!

They’ll sink like lead to rise no more,
O let my people go!
And you’ll hear a shout on the other shore,
O let my people go!

The firey cloud shall lead the way
O let my people go!
A light by night, a shade by day,
O let my people go!

Jordan shall stand up like a wall,
O let my people go!
And the walls of Jeri cho shall fall,
O let my people go!

Your foes shall not before you stans,
O let my people go!
And you’ll posses fair Canaan’s land,
O let my people go!

O let us all from bondage flee,
O let my people go!
And let us all in Christ by free,
O let my people go!

This world's a wilderness of woe,
O let my people go!
O let me all to glory go,
O let my people go!
