Lyrics and translation Anaïs Mitchell - Wait for Me
[Hermes:]
[Hermès:]
How
to
get
to
Hadestown*
Comment
aller
à
Hadèsville*
You'll
have
to
take
the
long
way
down
Tu
devras
prendre
le
long
chemin
Through
the
underground,
under
cover
of
night
A
travers
le
souterrain,
sous
le
couvert
de
la
nuit
Laying
low,
staying
out
of
sight
Se
cacher,
rester
à
l'abri
des
regards
Ain't
no
compass,
brother,
there
ain't
no
map
Il
n'y
a
pas
de
boussole,
mon
frère,
il
n'y
a
pas
de
carte
Just
a
telephone
wire
and
the
railroad
track
Juste
un
fil
de
téléphone
et
la
voie
ferrée
Keep
on
walking
and
you
don't
look
back
Continue
de
marcher
et
ne
regarde
pas
en
arrière
'Til
you
get
to
the
bottomland
Jusqu'à
ce
que
tu
arrives
au
fond
[Orpheus:]
[Orphée:]
Wait
for
me,
I'm
coming
Attends-moi,
je
viens
Wait,
I'm
coming
with
you
Attends,
je
viens
avec
toi
Wait
for
me,
I'm
coming
too
Attends-moi,
je
viens
aussi
I'm
coming
to
Je
viens
[Hermes:]
[Hermès:]
River
Styx
is
high
and
wide
Le
Styx
est
large
et
profond
Cinderbricks
and
razorwire
Briques
de
cendre
et
barbelés
Walls
of

Murs
de

Hound
dogs
howling
round
the
gate
Chiens
de
chasse
qui
hurlent
autour
de
la
porte
Them
dogs'll
lay
down
and
play
dead
Ces
chiens
se
coucheront
et
feront
semblant
d'être
morts
If
you
got
the
bones,
if
you
got
the
bread
Si
tu
as
des
os,
si
tu
as
du
pain
But
if
all
you
got
is
your
own
two
legs
Mais
si
tout
ce
que
tu
as,
ce
sont
tes
propres
deux
jambes
You
best
be
glad
you
got
'em
Tu
ferais
mieux
d'être
content
de
les
avoir
[Orpheus:]
[Orphée:]

Attends-moi,
je
viens

je
viens
avec
toi

for
me,
I'm
coming

je
viens
aussi
I'm
coming
to
Je
viens
[Hermes:]
[Hermès:]
You're
on
the
lam,
you're
on
the
run
Tu
es
en
fuite,
tu
es
en
cavale
Don't
give
your
name,
you
don't
have
one
Ne
donne
pas
ton
nom,
tu
n'en
as
pas
And
don't
look
no
one
in
the
eye
Et
ne
regarde
personne
dans
les
yeux
That
town
will
try
to
suck
you
dry
Cette
ville
essaiera
de
te
sucer
jusqu'à
la
moelle
They'll
suck
your
brain,
they'll
suck
your
breath
Ils
te
suceront
le
cerveau,
ils
te
suceront
le
souffle
They'll
pluck
the
heart
right
out
your
chest
Ils
t'arracheront
le
cœur
de
la
poitrine
They'll
truss
you
up
in
your
Sunday
best
Ils
t'attacheront
dans
tes
plus
beaux
habits
And
stuff
your
mouth
with
cotton
Et
te
bourreront
la
bouche
de
coton
[Orpheus:]
