Karma Man - John Peel - Top Gear, Recorded 13.5.68, 2000 Remastered Version
Karma Man - John Peel - Top Gear, enregistré le 13.5.68, version remasterisée 2000
Fingertips sun at sideshow stalls,
Les bouts des doigts du soleil sur les stands de la fête foraine,
They throw the balls
Ils lancent les boules
At coconut furs that hide behind coloured shades that blind your eyes
Sur les peaux de noix de coco qui se cachent derrière des lunettes colorées qui aveuglent tes yeux
Every child's mother holds an ice cream cone, they circle round
La mère de chaque enfant tient un cornet de glace, elles tournent autour
Perceived unknown by an eye that peers
Perçues comme inconnues par un œil qui scrute
From a hole in a tent where no one goes
Depuis un trou dans une tente personne ne va
A figure sitting cross-legged on the floor
Une silhouette assise en tailleur sur le sol
He's clogged and clothed in saffran robes, his beads are all he owns
Il est bouché et vêtu de robes safranées, ses perles sont tout ce qu'il possède
Slow down, slow down
Ralentis, ralentis
Someone must have said let's slow him down
Quelqu'un a dire qu'il fallait le ralentir
Slow down, slow down
Ralentis, ralentis
It's pictured on the arms of the karma man
C'est peint sur les bras de l'homme karma
Fairy tale skin depicting scenes form human zoos
Peau de conte de fées représentant des scènes de zoos humains
Impermanent toys like peace and war,
Jouets impermanents comme la paix et la guerre,
A gentle face you've seen before
Un visage doux que tu as déjà vu
Karma man tattooed on your side, the wheel of life
L'homme karma tatoué sur ton côté, la roue de la vie
I see my times and who I've been,
Je vois mes temps et qui j'ai été,
I only live now and I don't know why
Je ne vis que maintenant et je ne sais pas pourquoi
I struggle hard to take these pictures in, but
Je lutte dur pour saisir ces images, mais
All my friends can see is just the pinkness of his skin
Tous mes amis ne voient que la couleur rose de sa peau
Slow down, slow down
Ralentis, ralentis
Someone must have said let's slow him down
Quelqu'un a dire qu'il fallait le ralentir
Slow down, slow down
Ralentis, ralentis
It's pictured on the arms of the karma man.
C'est peint sur les bras de l'homme karma.
