Lyrics and translation David Bowie feat. The Tony Visconti Trio - Memory of a Free Festival (The Sunday Show - Recorded 5.2.70) [2000 Remastered Version]
The
Children
of
the
summer's
end
Les
enfants
de
la
fin
de
l'été
Gathered
in
the
dampened
grass
Rassemblés
dans
l'herbe
humide
We
played
Our
songs
and
felt
the
London
sky
Nous
avons
joué
nos
chansons
et
senti
le
ciel
de
Londres
Resting
on
our
hands
Reposant
sur
nos
mains
It
was
God's
land
C'était
la
terre
de
Dieu
It
was
ragged
and
naive
C'était
rude
et
naïf
It
was
Heaven
C'était
le
paradis
Touch,
We
touched
the
very
soul
Touche,
nous
avons
touché
l'âme
même
Of
holding
each
and
every
life
De
tenir
chaque
vie
We
claimed
the
very
source
of
joy
ran
through
Nous
avons
affirmé
que
la
source
même
de
la
joie
coulait
à
travers
It
didn't,
but
it
seemed
that
way
Ce
n'était
pas
le
cas,
mais
c'est
ce
qu'il
semblait
I
kissed
a
lot
of
people
that
day
J'ai
embrassé
beaucoup
de
gens
ce
jour-là
Oh,
to
capture
just
one
drop
of
all
Oh,
pour
capturer
ne
serait-ce
qu'une
goutte
de
tout
The
ecstasy
that
swept
that
afternoon
L'extase
qui
a
balayé
cet
après-midi
To
paint
that
love
Pour
peindre
cet
amour
Upon
a
white
balloon
Sur
un
ballon
blanc
And
fly
it
from
Et
le
faire
voler
de
The
topest
top
of
all
the
tops
Le
sommet
le
plus
haut
de
tous
les
sommets
That
man
has
pushed
beyond
his
brain
Que
l'homme
a
poussé
au-delà
de
son
cerveau
Satori
must
be
something
Le
Satori
doit
être
quelque
chose
Just
the
same
Tout
de
même
We
scanned
the
skies
with
rainbow
eyes
Nous
avons
scanné
le
ciel
avec
des
yeux
arc-en-ciel
And
saw
machines
of
every
shape
and
size
Et
vu
des
machines
de
toutes
formes
et
de
toutes
tailles
We
talked
with
tall
Venusians
passing
through
Nous
avons
parlé
avec
de
grands
Vénusiens
de
passage
And
Peter
tried
to
climb
aboard
but
the
Captain
shook
his
head
Et
Peter
a
essayé
de
monter
à
bord,
mais
le
capitaine
a
secoué
la
tête
And
away
they
soared
Et
ils
sont
partis
en
flèche
Climbing
through
Grimpe
à
travers
The
ivory
vibrant
cloud
Le
nuage
d'ivoire
vibrant
Someone
passed
some
bliss
among
the
crowd
Quelqu'un
a
fait
passer
un
peu
de
bonheur
dans
la
foule
And
We
walked
back
to
the
road,
unchained
Et
nous
sommes
retournés
sur
la
route,
déliés
"The
Sun
Machine
is
Coming
Down,
and
We're
Gonna
Have
a
Party
« La
machine
solaire
descend,
et
nous
allons
faire
la
fête
The
Sun
Machine
is
Coming
Down,
and
We're
Gonna
Have
a
Party

machine
solaire
descend,
et
nous
allons
faire
la
fête
