Lyrics and translation Billy Joel - Miami 2017 (Demo)




Miami 2017 (Demo)
Miami 2017 (Démo)
I′ve seen the lights go out on Broadway-
J'ai vu les lumières s'éteindre à Broadway,
I saw the Empire State laid low.
J'ai vu l'Empire State s'effondrer.
And life went on beyond the Palisades,
Et la vie a continué au-delà des Palisades,
They all bought bright Cadillacs-
Ils ont tous acheté de brillantes Cadillac-
And left there long ago.
Et sont partis il y a longtemps.
We held a concert out in Brooklyn-
On a donné un concert à Brooklyn-
To watch the Island bridges blow.
Pour regarder les ponts de l'île exploser.
They turned our power down,
Ils ont coupé notre électricité,
And drove us underground-
Et nous ont conduits sous terre-
But we went right on with the show...
Mais on a continué le spectacle...
I've seen the lights go out on Broadway-
J'ai vu les lumières s'éteindre à Broadway,
I saw the ruins at my feet,
J'ai vu les ruines à mes pieds,
You know we almost didn′t notice it-
Tu sais, on ne s'en est presque pas rendu compte-
We'd see it all the time on Forty-Second Street.
On voyait ça tout le temps sur la 42e Rue.
They burned the churches up in Harlem-
Ils ont brûlé les églises à Harlem-
Like in that Spanish Civil War-
Comme dans cette guerre civile espagnole-
The flames were everywhere,
Les flammes étaient partout,
But no one really cared-
Mais personne ne s'en souciait vraiment-
It always burned up there before...
Ça brûlait toujours avant...
I saw the lights go out on Broadway-
J'ai vu les lumières s'éteindre à Broadway,
I watched the mighty skyline fall.
J'ai vu l'imposante ligne d'horizon tomber.
The boats were waiting at the Battery,
Les bateaux attendaient à Battery Park,
The union went on strike-
Le syndicat s'est mis en grève-
They never sailed at all.
Ils n'ont jamais navigué.
They sent a carrier out from Norfolk-
Ils ont envoyé un porte-avions de Norfolk-
And picked the Yankees up for free.
Et ont récupéré les Yankees gratuitement.
They said that Queens could stay,
Ils ont dit que Queens pouvait rester,
They blew the Bronx away-
Ils ont fait sauter le Bronx-
And sank Manhattan out to sea...
Et ont coulé Manhattan au large...
You know those lights were bright on Broadway-
Tu sais, ces lumières étaient brillantes à Broadway-
But that was so many years ago...
Mais c'était il y a si longtemps...
Before we all lived here in Florida-
Avant qu'on vive tous ici en Floride-
Before the Mafia took over Mexico.
Avant que la mafia ne prenne le contrôle du Mexique.
There are not many who remember-
Il n'y en a pas beaucoup qui s'en souviennent-
They say a handful still survive...
On dit qu'une poignée survit encore...
To tell the world about...
Pour parler au monde de...
The way the lights went out,
La façon dont les lumières se sont éteintes,
And keep the memory alive...
Et garder le souvenir vivant...
