Lyrics and translation Adrian Belew - Of Bow and Drum
"Far
away,"
said
the
matriarch,
"Loin
d'ici,"
dit
la
matriarche,
"I
once
heard
from
the
tongue
of
a
lark
"J'ai
entendu
un
jour
du
bec
d'une
alouette
Of
golden
days
Parler
de
jours
dorés
Of
bow
and
drum
De
l'arc
et
du
tambour
And
of
men
who
chased.
Et
d'hommes
qui
chassaient.
Now
they
come
in
rags
of
greed,
Maintenant,
ils
arrivent
en
haillons
de
cupidité,
No
regard
for
our
dignity."
Sans
égard
pour
notre
dignité."
She
began
to
dream
Elle
se
mit
à
rêver
And
the
wind
did
rage
Et
le
vent
fit
rage
And
the
forest
cried
Et
la
forêt
cria
"Run
away,"
she
told
him
then,
"Fuis,"
lui
dit-elle
alors,
"Find
a
way
to
hide
from
them."
"Trouve
un
moyen
de
te
cacher
d'eux."
Far
away
from
behind
a
tree
Au
loin,
derrière
un
arbre
Came
a
sound
to
defy
the
peace
Un
son
vint
défier
la
paix
And
the
son
went
down
Et
le
soleil
descendit
Quietly
in
a
pool
of
reeds
Silencieusement
dans
un
bassin
de
roseaux
