Les Negresses Vertes Orane Lyrics

Orane disparue un soir,                 Orane disappeared one night,
  Orane, Orane                            Orane, Orane
Orane moi qui t'aime tant,              Orane it's me who loves you so,
  Orane, Orane                            Orane, Orane
Orane, je ne suis rien sans toi,        Orane, I'm nothing without you
  Orane, Orane                            Orane, Orane
Orane, n'entends-tu mon cri?            Orane, don't you hear my cry?
  Orane, Orane                            Orane, Orane
Je t'ai epousee a l'age de treize ans   I married you at the age of 13
L'ainee de six freres et huit soeurs    The eldest of 6 brothers and 8 sisters
Je vous ai nourri                       I fed all of you
Toi et ta famille                       You and your family
Ton pere se tuait au labeur.            Your father killed himself at labor.
Orane, souviens-toi de ca,              Orane, remember that,
  Orane, Orane,                           Orane, Orane
Orane, sois reconnaissante,             Orane, be grateful,
  Orane, Orane                            Orane, Orane
Orane, tu n'as pas de coeur,            Orane, you don't have any heart,
  Orane, Orane                            Orane, Orane
Orane, pense a tes enfants,             Orane, think of your children
  Orane, Orane                            Orane, Orane
Si j'ai dechire                         If I tore
Ton pantalon rose                       your pink pants
Ma parole je le regrette                My word, I regret it
Si je t'ai frappee jusqu'au sang        If I hit you until you bled
Meme ton pere en aurait fait autant     Even your father would've done that
Orane, maintenant c'est fini,           Orane, now it's over
  Orane, Orane                            Orane, Orane
Orane, je refais ma vie,                Orane, I'm remaking my life
  Orane, Orane                            Orane, Orane
Orane, maintenant c'est fini,           Orane, now it's over
  Orane, Orane                            Orane, Orane
Orane, je refais ma vie,                Orane, I'm remaking my life
  Orane, Orane                            Orane, Orane
Je t'ai epousee a l'age de treize ans   I married you at the age of 13
L'ainee de six freres et huit soeurs    The eldest of 6 brothers and 8 sisters
Si je t'ai frappee jusqu'au sang        If I hit you until you bled
Meme ton pere en aurait fait autant     Even your father would've done that
Orane, ma cherie, ma caille,            Orane, my dear, my dove
  Orane, Orane                            Orane, Orane
Orane, ma cherie, ma caille,            Orane, my dear, my dove
  Orane, Orane                            Orane, Orane
Orane, ma cherie, ma caille,            Orane, my dear, my dove
  Orane, Orane                            Orane, Orane
Orane, reviens-moi j't'en prie,         Orane, come back to me, I beg you
  Orane, Orane                            Orane, Orane
Orane, Orane, Orane, Orane.             Orane, Orane, Orane, Orane.
