Lyrics and translation Chris de Burgh - The Painter




The Painter
Le Peintre
I'd like you to meet my last queen,
J'aimerais te présenter ma dernière reine,
Over there large as life
Là-bas, grande comme la vie
She's been hanging there for almost a week,
Elle est accrochée depuis presque une semaine,
My poor late wife;
Ma pauvre défunte épouse ;
What do think of the colour of her skin,
Que penses-tu de la couleur de sa peau,
It has the bloom of the rose,
Elle a la couleur de la rose,
You see she begged me to bring a certain painter in,
Tu vois, elle m'a supplié de faire venir un certain peintre,
And for that picture in her bedroom she would pose;
Et pour ce tableau dans sa chambre, elle voulait poser;
Well after a while he was driving me mad,
Eh bien, après un certain temps, il me rendait fou,
As you could well understand,
Comme tu peux le comprendre,
Sitting in there, day after day,
Assise là, jour après jour,
With my wife in the palm of his hand...
Avec ma femme dans le creux de sa main...
It was -
C'était -
"Madam please do this and Madam please do that",
"Madame, faites ceci et Madame, faites cela",
You've never heard such display,
Tu n'as jamais entendu un tel spectacle,
But he didn't mind he was taking his time,
Mais il s'en fichait, il prenait son temps,
It was me that had to pay,
C'est moi qui devais payer,
"Madam I think we should take a walk in the woods,
"Madame, je pense que nous devrions nous promener dans les bois,
You understand it's the light",
Tu comprends, c'est la lumière",
And did I mind, no, I was so kind when they,
Et est-ce que ça me dérangeait, non, j'étais si gentil quand ils,
Came back in the middle of the night,
Sont revenus au milieu de la nuit,
And I swear I'll take care of the painter, Oh the painter...
Et je jure que je m'occuperai du peintre, Oh le peintre...
Well as you can see it was hard for me,
Eh bien, comme tu peux le voir, c'était difficile pour moi,
But something has to be done,
Mais il faut faire quelque chose,
She only has eyes for him and his lies, and as for me,
Elle n'a d'yeux que pour lui et ses mensonges, et quant à moi,
Not a glance, not a single one;
Pas un regard, pas un seul ;
My orders were severe and she disappeared,
Mes ordres étaient sévères et elle a disparu,
It really was such a shame,
C'était vraiment dommage,
And when they told me she was dead I broke down and said,
Et quand ils m'ont dit qu'elle était morte, j'ai craqué et j'ai dit,
"It's that painter, it's him, he's to blame."
"C'est ce peintre, c'est lui, c'est lui qui est à blâmer."
With his "Madam please do this and Madam please do that",
Avec son "Madame, faites ceci et Madame, faites cela",
You've never heard such display,
Tu n'as jamais entendu un tel spectacle,
But he didn't mind he was taking his time,
Mais il s'en fichait, il prenait son temps,
It was me that had to pay,
C'est moi qui devais payer,
"Oh Madam I think we should take a walk in the woods,
"Oh, Madame, je pense que nous devrions nous promener dans les bois,
You understand it's the light",
Tu comprends, c'est la lumière",
And did I mind, no, I was so kind when they
Et est-ce que ça me dérangeait, non, j'étais si gentil quand ils
Came back in the middle of the night,
Sont revenus au milieu de la nuit,
And I hope it's the rope for the painter,
Et j'espère que c'est la corde pour le peintre,
When he's found, it's hellbound for the painter,
Quand il sera trouvé, c'est l'enfer pour le peintre,
I'll get that painter...
J'aurai ce peintre...
