Tell Ol' Bill - Bob Dylantranslation in French




Tell Ol' Bill
Dis le à Bill
The river whispers in my ear
La rivière murmure à mon oreille
I've hardly a penny to my name
Je n'ai presque pas un sou à mon nom
The heavens have never seemed so near
Le ciel n'a jamais semblé si proche
All of my body glows with flame
Tout mon corps brille de flammes
The tempest struggles in the air
La tempête se débat dans l'air
And to myself alone I sing
Et je chante pour moi-même
It could sink me then and there
Elle pourrait me faire sombrer là-bas
I can hear the echoes ring
J'entends les échos résonner
I tried to find one smiling face
J'ai essayé de trouver un visage souriant
To drive the shadow from my head
Pour chasser l'ombre de ma tête
I'm stranded in this nameless place
Je suis bloqué dans ce lieu sans nom
Lying restless in a heavy bed
Coucher sans repos dans un lit lourd
Tell me straight out if you will
Dis-moi franchement si tu veux
Why must you torture me within?
Pourquoi dois-tu me torturer intérieurement ?
Why must you come down off of your high hill?
Pourquoi dois-tu descendre de ta haute colline ?
Throw my fate to the clouds and wind
Jeter mon destin aux nuages et au vent
Far away in a silent land
Loin, dans une terre silencieuse
Secret thoughts are hard to bear
Les pensées secrètes sont difficiles à porter
Remember me, you'll understand
Souviens-toi de moi, tu comprendras
Emotions we can never share
Des émotions que nous ne pouvons jamais partager
You trampled on me as you passed
Tu m'as piétiné en passant
Left the coldest kiss upon my brow
Laissant le baiser le plus froid sur mon front
All of my doubts and fears have gone at last
Tous mes doutes et mes peurs ont disparu à jamais
I've nothing more to tell you now
Je n'ai plus rien à te dire maintenant
I walk by tranquil lakes and streams
Je marche le long de lacs et de ruisseaux tranquilles
As each new season's dawn awaits
Alors que l'aube de chaque nouvelle saison attend
I lay awake at night with troubled dreams
Je reste éveillé la nuit avec des rêves troublés
The enemy is at the gate
L'ennemi est aux portes
Beneath the thunder blasted trees
Sous les arbres frappés par la foudre
The words are ringin' off your tongue
Les mots résonnent sur ta langue
The ground is hard in times like these
Le sol est dur en ces temps difficiles
Stars are cold, the night is young
Les étoiles sont froides, la nuit est jeune
The rocks are bleak, the trees are bare
Les rochers sont arides, les arbres sont nus
Iron clouds go floating by
Des nuages de fer flottent
Snowflakes fallin' in my hair
Des flocons de neige tombent dans mes cheveux
Beneath the gray and the stormy sky
Sous le ciel gris et orageux
The evenin' sun is sinkin' low
Le soleil du soir coule bas
The woods are dark, the town isn't new
Les bois sont sombres, la ville n'est pas nouvelle
They'll drag you down, they'll run the show
Ils te traîneront vers le bas, ils dirigeront le spectacle
Ain't no telling what they'll do
On ne sait pas ce qu'ils feront
Tell ol' Bill when he comes home
Dis à Bill quand il rentrera à la maison
Anything is worth a try
Tout vaut la peine d'essayer
Tell him that I'm not alone
Dis-lui que je ne suis pas seul
That the hour has come to do or die
Que l'heure est venue d'agir ou de mourir
All the world I would defy
Je défie le monde entier
Let me make it plain as day
Laisse-moi le dire clairement
I look at you now and I sigh
Je te regarde maintenant et je soupire
How could it be any other way?
Comment pourrait-il en être autrement ?
