Lyrics and translation Christy Moore - On the Bridge




On the Bridge
Sur le Pont
There's thirty people on the bridge and they're standing in the rain
Il y a trente personnes sur le pont et elles se tiennent sous la pluie
They caught my eye as I passed them by, they tried to explain
Elles ont croisé mon regard alors que je passais, elles ont essayé d'expliquer
Why they were standing there, I did not want to hear
Pourquoi elles étaient là, je n'avais pas envie d'entendre
When trouble gets too close to home, my anger turns to fear
Quand les ennuis s'approchent trop de chez soi, ma colère se transforme en peur
With my eyes turned to the ground I moved along
Les yeux baissés, j'ai continué mon chemin
I covered up my ears and I held my tongue
J'ai bouché mes oreilles et je suis resté silencieux
The rain poured down relentlessly upon the picket line
La pluie tombait sans relâche sur la ligne de piquetage
And the empty words fell from my lips, "Your troubles are not mine"
Et les paroles vides sont sorties de ma bouche, "Vos problèmes ne sont pas les miens"
Though the rain it made the colours run the message it was plain
Bien que la pluie ait fait couler les couleurs, le message était clair
Women are being strip searched in Armagh jail
Les femmes sont fouillées à nu à la prison d'Armagh
We kneel in adoration before effigies of stone
Nous nous agenouillons en adoration devant des effigies de pierre
Our eyes turned to heaven blind to what's going on
Nos yeux tournés vers le ciel, aveugles à ce qui se passe
Six women hold a naked woman pinned down on the floor
Six femmes tiennent une femme nue plaquée au sol
Without trial or jury, like a prisoner of war
Sans procès ni jury, comme une prisonnière de guerre
Though the rain it made the colours run the message it was plain
Bien que la pluie ait fait couler les couleurs, le message était clair
Women are being strip searched in Armagh and Brixton Jail
Les femmes sont fouillées à nu à Armagh et à la prison de Brixton
