Lyrics and translation Brandon Boyd - The Wild Trapeze

The Wild Trapeze

A boy upon a tireless trail, with the wind at his back
He's becoming one--coming one
He's becoming one.
The birds, the bees, the wild trapeze,
Symbiotic heart-attack.
He's becoming one--coming one
He's becoming one.

Stand still,
Like a humming bird in flight.
Stand still,
Like a humming bird in flight.
Stand still,
Like a humming bird in flight.
Stand still,
Like a humming bird in flight.

No borders, no empires, no inquisitions,
Point or blame.
He's becoming one--coming one
He's becoming one.
Up, North, down South, back East and out West,
They're saying his bright-eyed name.
He's becoming one--coming one
He's becoming One.

Stand still,
Like a humming bird in flight.
Stand still,
Like a humming bird in flight.
Stand still,
Like a humming bird in flight.
Stand still,
Like a humming bird in flight.

Still...
Like a humming bird in flight.

He's becoming one--coming one
He's becoming one--coming one

Armed only with an old guitar,
Broken-end on wits and whim,
He's becoming one--coming one
He's becoming one.
Humming bird up in an April sky, observed and said of him
He's becoming one--coming one
Yeah, he's coming home.

Le Trapeze Sauvage

Un garçon sur un sentier infatigable, avec le vent dans le dos
Il devient un — il arrive
Il devient un.
Les oiseaux, les abeilles, le trapeze sauvage,
Attaque cardiaque symbiotique.
Il devient un — il arrive
Il devient un.

Tiens-toi immobile,
Comme un colibri en vol.
Tiens-toi immobile,
Comme un colibri en vol.
Tiens-toi immobile,
Comme un colibri en vol.
Tiens-toi immobile,
Comme un colibri en vol.

Pas de frontières, pas d'empires, pas d'inquisiteurs,
Pointer du doigt ou blâmer.
Il devient un — il arrive
Il devient un.
En haut, au nord, en bas au sud, à l'est et à l'ouest,
Ils disent son nom aux yeux brillants.
Il devient un — il arrive
Il devient un.

Tiens-toi immobile,
Comme un colibri en vol.
Tiens-toi immobile,
Comme un colibri en vol.
Tiens-toi immobile,
Comme un colibri en vol.
Tiens-toi immobile,
Comme un colibri en vol.

Immobile…
Comme un colibri en vol.

Il devient un — il arrive
Il devient un — il arrive

Armé uniquement d'une vieille guitare,
Brisé au bout de l'esprit et de la fantaisie,
Il devient un — il arrive
Il devient un.
Colibri dans un ciel d'avril, observé et dit de lui
Il devient un — il arrive
Oui, il rentre à la maison.
