Lyrics and translation Billy Bragg - Upfield




Upfield
En amont
I'm going upfield, way up on the hillside
Je vais en amont, tout en haut de la colline
I'm going higher than I've ever been before
Je vais plus haut que jamais auparavant
That's where you'll find me, over the horizon
C'est que tu me trouveras, au-delà de l'horizon
Wading in the river, reaching for that other shore
Je marche dans la rivière, atteignant l'autre rive
I dreamed I saw a tree full of angels, up on Primrose Hill
J'ai rêvé que j'ai vu un arbre plein d'anges, sur Primrose Hill
And I flew with them over the Great Wen till I had seen my fill
Et j'ai volé avec eux au-dessus du Grand Wen jusqu'à ce que j'aie vu mon content
Of such poverty and misery sure to tear my soul apart
D'une telle pauvreté et misère qui ne manquent pas de déchirer mon âme
I've got a socialism of the heart, I've got a socialism of the heart
J'ai un socialisme du cœur, j'ai un socialisme du cœur
I'm going upfield, way up on the hillside
Je vais en amont, tout en haut de la colline
I'm going higher than I've ever been before
Je vais plus haut que jamais auparavant
That's where you'll find me, over the horizon
C'est que tu me trouveras, au-delà de l'horizon
Wading in the river, reaching for that other shore
Je marche dans la rivière, atteignant l'autre rive
The angels asked me how I felt about all I'd seen and heard
Les anges m'ont demandé ce que je pensais de tout ce que j'avais vu et entendu
That they spoke to me, a pagan, gave me cause to doubt their word
Qu'ils me parlaient, à moi, un païen, me donnant une raison de douter de leur parole
But they laughed and said: "I doesn't matter if you'll help us in our art
Mais ils ont ri et ont dit : "Peu importe si tu nous aides dans notre art
You've got a socialism of the heart, you've got a socialism of the heart"
Tu as un socialisme du cœur, tu as un socialisme du cœur"
I'm going upfield, way up on the hillside
Je vais en amont, tout en haut de la colline
I'm going higher than I've ever been before
Je vais plus haut que jamais auparavant
That's where you'll find me, over the horizon
C'est que tu me trouveras, au-delà de l'horizon
Wading in the river, reaching for that other shore
Je marche dans la rivière, atteignant l'autre rive
Their faces shone and they were gone and I was left alone
Leurs visages brillaient et ils étaient partis, et je me suis retrouvé seul
I walked these ancient empire streets till I came tearful to my home
J'ai marché dans ces rues anciennes d'empire jusqu'à ce que je sois arrivé en larmes à la maison
And when I woke next morning, I vowed to play my part
Et quand je me suis réveillé le lendemain matin, j'ai juré de jouer mon rôle
I've got a socialism of the heart, I've got a socialism of the heart
J'ai un socialisme du cœur, j'ai un socialisme du cœur
I'm going upfield, way up on the hillside
Je vais en amont, tout en haut de la colline
I'm going higher than I've ever been before
Je vais plus haut que jamais auparavant
That's where you'll find me, over the horizon
C'est que tu me trouveras, au-delà de l'horizon
Wading in the river, reaching for that other shore
Je marche dans la rivière, atteignant l'autre rive
