Lyrics and translation Caetano Veloso & David Byrne - (Nothing But) Flowers




(Nothing But) Flowers
(Rien que) des fleurs
Here we stand, like an Adam and an Eve,
Voilà nous sommes, comme Adam et Ève,
Waterfalls, the Garden of Eden.
Des cascades, le Jardin d'Éden.
Two fools in love, so beautiful and strong,
Deux fous amoureux, si beaux et forts,
The birds in the trees are smiling upon them.
Les oiseaux dans les arbres leur sourient.
From the age of the dinosaurs,
Depuis l'ère des dinosaures,
Cars have run on gasoline
Les voitures roulaient à l'essence
Where, where have they gone?
Où, sont-elles allées ?
Now it′s nothing, but flowers.
Maintenant, il n'y a plus que des fleurs.
There was a factory,
Il y avait une usine,
Now there are mountains and rivers.
Maintenant, il y a des montagnes et des rivières.
You got it, you got it...
Tu as tout, tu as tout...
We caught a rattlesnake,
On a attrapé un serpent à sonnettes,
Now we got something for dinner.
Maintenant, on a de quoi dîner.
We got it, we got it...
On a tout, on a tout...
There was a shopping mall,
Il y avait un centre commercial,
Now it's all covered with flowers.
Maintenant, il est entièrement recouvert de fleurs.
You′ve got it, you've got it...
Tu as tout, tu as tout...
If this is paradise,
Si c'est le paradis,
I wish I had a lawnmower.
J'aimerais avoir une tondeuse à gazon.
You've got it, you′ve got it...
Tu as tout, tu as tout...
Years ago, I was an angry young man,
Il y a des années, j'étais un jeune homme en colère,
I′d pretend that I was a billboard.
Je faisais semblant d'être un panneau d'affichage.
Standing tall by the side of the road,
Debout, grand, au bord de la route,
I fell in love with a beautiful highway.
Je suis tombé amoureux d'une belle autoroute.
This used to be real estate,
C'était autrefois un terrain à bâtir,
Now it's only fields and trees.
Maintenant, il n'y a plus que des champs et des arbres.
Where, where is the town?
Où, est la ville ?
Now it′s nothing, but flowers.
Maintenant, il n'y a plus que des fleurs.
The highways and cars
Les autoroutes et les voitures
Were sacrificed for agriculture.
Ont été sacrifiées pour l'agriculture.
I thought that we'd start over,
Je pensais qu'on allait repartir à zéro,
But I guess I was wrong.
Mais je suppose que je me suis trompé.
Once there were parking lots,
Il y avait autrefois des parkings,
Now it′s a peaceful oasis.
Maintenant, c'est une oasis paisible.
You got it, you got it...
Tu as tout, tu as tout...
This was a Pizza Hut,
C'était un Pizza Hut,
Now it's all covered with daisies.
Maintenant, il est entièrement recouvert de marguerites.
You got it, you got it...
Tu as tout, tu as tout...
I miss the honky tonks,
J'ai hâte de retrouver les honky-tonks,
Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens
Dairy Queens et 7-Elevens
You got it, you got it...
Tu as tout, tu as tout...
And as things fell apart,
Et tandis que les choses se désagrégeaient,
Pobody paid much attention.
Personne n'y prêtait vraiment attention.
You got it, you got it...
Tu as tout, tu as tout...
I dream of cherry pies,
Je rêve de tartes aux cerises,
Candy bars, and chocolate chip cookies.
De barres chocolatées et de biscuits aux pépites de chocolat.
You got it, you got it...
Tu as tout, tu as tout...
We used to microwave,
On avait l'habitude d'utiliser le four à micro-ondes,
Now we just eat nuts and berries.
Maintenant, on ne mange que des noix et des baies.
You got it, you got it...
Tu as tout, tu as tout...
Don′t leave me stranded here,
Ne me laisse pas bloqué ici,
I can't get used to this lifestyle.
Je n'arrive pas à m'habituer à ce mode de vie.
