Lyrics and translation 10,000 Maniacs - Cherry Tree (Encore 1) - Live: The Orpheum Theater, Boston, Mass. 29 April '88




Cherry Tree (Encore 1) - Live: The Orpheum Theater, Boston, Mass. 29 April '88
Cherry Tree (Encore 1) - Live: The Orpheum Theater, Boston, Mass. 29 April '88
Over your shoulder, please don't mind me
Par-dessus ton épaule, ne fais pas attention à moi
If my eyes have fallen onto your magazine
Si mes yeux se sont posés sur ton magazine
Oh I've been watching and wondering
Oh, je t'observe et je me demande
Why your face is changing with every line you read.
Pourquoi ton visage change à chaque ligne que tu lis.
For all those lines and circles, to me, a mystery.
Pour toutes ces lignes et ces cercles, pour moi, un mystère.
Eve pull down the apple and give a taste to me.
Eve, descends la pomme et donne-m'en une bouchée.
For if she could it would be wonderful, but my pride is in the way.
Car si elle le pouvait, ce serait merveilleux, mais ma fierté me bloque.
I cannot read to save my life, I'm so ashamed to say.
Je ne sais pas lire pour sauver ma vie, j'ai honte de le dire.
I live in silence, afraid to speak
Je vis dans le silence, peur de parler
Of my life in darkness because I cannot read.
De ma vie dans l'obscurité parce que je ne sais pas lire.
But all those lines and circles, to me, a mystery.
Mais toutes ces lignes et ces cercles, pour moi, un mystère.
Eve pull down the apple and give a taste to me.
Eve, descends la pomme et donne-m'en une bouchée.
For if she could it would be wonderful.
Car si elle le pouvait, ce serait merveilleux.
Then I wouldn't need someone else's eyes to see what's in front of me.
Alors je n'aurais pas besoin des yeux de quelqu'un d'autre pour voir ce qui est devant moi.
No one guiding me.
Personne ne me guiderait.
It makes me humble to be so green
Cela me rend humble d'être si vert
At what every kid can do when he learns A to Z,
À ce que chaque enfant peut faire quand il apprend de A à Z,
But all those lines and circles just frighten me
Mais toutes ces lignes et ces cercles me font peur
And I fear that I'll be trampled if you don't reach for me.
Et je crains d'être piétiné si tu ne me tends pas la main.
Before I run I'll have to take a fall.
Avant de courir, je devrai faire une chute.
And then I pick myself up, so slowly
Et puis je me relève, si lentement
I'll devour every one of those books in the Tower of Knowledge.
Je dévorerai tous ces livres dans la Tour du Savoir.
