Fred Jones, Pt. 2 (with The West Australian Symphony Orchestra) [Live Kings Park in Perth, Australia, 3/12/03]
Fred Jones, Pt. 2 (avec The West Australian Symphony Orchestra) [Live Kings Park à Perth, Australie, 3/12/03]
Fred sits alone at his desk in the dark
Fred est assis seul à son bureau dans le noir
There′s an awkward young shadow that waits in the hall
Il y a une jeune ombre gênante qui attend dans le couloir
He's cleared all his things and he′s put them in boxes
Il a rangé toutes ses affaires et les a mises dans des boîtes
Things that remind him: 'Life has been good'
Des choses qui lui rappellent : « La vie a été bonne »
Twenty-five years
Vingt-cinq ans
He′s worked at the paper
Il a travaillé au journal
A man′s here to take him downstairs
Un homme est pour l'emmener en bas
And I'm sorry, Mr. Jones
Et je suis désolé, M. Jones
It′s time
C'est le moment
There was no party, there were no songs
Il n'y a pas eu de fête, il n'y a pas eu de chansons
'Cause today′s just a day like the day that he started
Parce qu'aujourd'hui, c'est juste un jour comme le jour il a commencé
Noone has left here that knows his first name
Personne n'est parti d'ici qui connaisse son prénom
And life barrels on like a runaway train
Et la vie fonce comme un train en perdition
Where the passengers change
les passagers changent
They don't change anything
Ils ne changent rien
You get off; someone else can get on
Tu descends, quelqu'un d'autre peut monter
And I′m sorry, Mr. Jones
Et je suis désolé, M. Jones
It's time
C'est le moment
Streetlight shines through the shades
Les réverbères brillent à travers les stores
Casting lines on the floor, and lines on his face
Jetant des lignes sur le sol et des rides sur son visage
He reflects on the day
Il réfléchit à la journée
Fred gets his paints out and goes to the basement
Fred sort ses peintures et va au sous-sol
Projecting some slides onto a plain white
Il projette des diapositives sur une toile blanche
Canvas and traces it
Et la trace
Fills in the spaces
Remplit les espaces
He turns off the slides, and it doesn't look right
Il éteint les diapositives et ça n'a pas l'air juste
Yeah, and all of these bastards
Oui, et tous ces salauds
Have taken his place
Ont pris sa place
He′s forgotten but not yet gone
Il est oublié mais pas encore parti
And I′m sorry, Mr. Jones
Et je suis désolé, M. Jones
And I'm sorry, Mr. Jones
Et je suis désolé, M. Jones
And I′m sorry, Mr. Jones
Et je suis désolé, M. Jones
It's time
C'est le moment
