Lyrics and translation Colm Wilkinson - Man Of La Mancha
CERVANTES
CERVANTES
I
shall
impersonate
a
man.
Je
vais
incarner
un
homme.
His
name...
Alonso
Quijana...
a
country
squire,
Son
nom...
Alonso
Quijana...
un
gentilhomme
campagnard,
No
longer
young.
N'est
plus
jeune.
Being
retired,
he
has
much
time
for
books.
He
studies
Étant
retraité,
il
a
beaucoup
de
temps
pour
les
livres.
Il
les
étudie
Them
from
morn
to
night
and
often
through
the
night
again.
Du
matin
au
soir
et
souvent
toute
la
nuit.
And
all
he
reads
oppresses
him...
Et
tout
ce
qu'il
lit
le
déprime...
Fills
him
with
indignation
at
man's
murderous
ways
toward
man.
Le
remplit
d'indignation
face
aux
manières
meurtrières
de
l'homme
envers
l'homme.
He
ponders
the
problem
Il
réfléchit
au
problème
Of
how
to
make
better
a
world
De
comment
améliorer
un
monde
Where
evil
brings
profit
and
virtue
none
at
all.
Où
le
mal
rapporte
et
la
vertu
pas
du
tout.
He
lays
down
the
melancholy
burden
of
sanity
Il
dépose
le
fardeau
mélancolique
de
la
santé
mentale
And
conceives
the
strangest
project
ever
imagined...
Et
conçoit
le
projet
le
plus
étrange
jamais
imaginé...
To
become
a
knight-errant,
Devenir
un
chevalier
errant,
And
sally
forth
into
the
world
in
search
of
adventures;
Et
s'aventurer
dans
le
monde
à
la
recherche
d'aventures
;
To
right
all
wrongs;
Pour
redresser
tous
les
torts
;
To
mount
a
crusade;
Pour
monter
une
croisade
;
To
raise
up
the
weak
and
those
in
need.
Pour
relever
les
faibles
et
ceux
qui
sont
dans
le
besoin.
No
longer
will
he
be
plain
Alonso
Quijana...
Il
ne
sera
plus
simple
Alonso
Quijana...
But
a
dauntless
knight
known
as
-
Mais
un
chevalier
intrépide
connu
sous
le
nom
de
-
Don
Quixote
de
La
Mancha!
Don
Quichotte
de
la
Manche !
DON
QUIXOTE
DON
QUIXOTE
Hear
me
now
Écoute-moi
maintenant
Oh
thou
bleak
and
unbearable
world,
Ô
toi
monde
morne
et
insupportable,
Thou
art
base
and
debauched
as
can
be;
Tu
es
bas
et
débauché
au
possible ;
And
a
knight
with
his
banners
all
bravely
unfurled
Et
un
chevalier
avec
ses
bannières
toutes
courageusement
déployées
Now
hurls
down
his
gauntlet
to
thee!
Te
lance
maintenant
son
gant !

Mon
destin
m'appelle
et
je

And

winds
of

Et
les
vents
sauvages
de
la
fortune
Will
carry
me
onward,
Me
transporteront
vers
l'avant,
Oh
whithersoever
they
blow.
Oh
où
qu'ils
soufflent.
Whithersoever
they
blow,
Où
qu'ils
soufflent,
Onward
to
glory
I

Vers
la
gloire,
j'avance !

I'm

Hear

Écoutez-moi,

And

of
sin!
Et

du
péché !
All
your
dastardly
doings
are
past,
Tous
vos
actes
lâches
sont
passés,
For
a
holy
endeavor
is
now
to
begin
Car

entreprise

maintenant
commencer
And

at
last!
