Bombers - In Concert, John Peel, Recorded 3.6.71, 2000 Remastered Version
Bombes - En concert, John Peel, Enregistré le 3.6.71, Version remasterisée en 2000
All clear wail the sirens
Les sirènes hurlent, tout est clair
Sunshine on the wasteland
Le soleil brille sur le terrain vague
Old man sitting in the white sand
Un vieil homme assis dans le sable blanc
Think we're in for a big surprise
On dirait qu'on va avoir une grosse surprise
Right between the eyes
En plein dans les yeux
Seemed a good idea
Ça semblait une bonne idée
To drop a bomb on the wasteland here
De larguer une bombe sur le terrain vague ici
Only one man could be seen
On ne pouvait voir qu'un seul homme
And he was old and so serene
Et il était vieux et si serein
Captain sat in his deck chair
Le capitaine était assis dans son fauteuil
And the red light flashed, beware
Et la lumière rouge a clignoté, attention
Pilot felt quite big-time
Le pilote se sentait vraiment important
As the bomb sailed through the air
Alors que la bombe traversait les airs
Well, they danced and sang
Eh bien, ils ont dansé et chanté
When the bang went bang
Quand le bang a fait bang
When the lights popped out
Quand les lumières ont jailli
And the smoke began to clear
Et que la fumée a commencé à se dissiper
It was positively queer
C'était vraiment bizarre
All clear wail the sirens
Les sirènes hurlent, tout est clair
Sunshine on the wasteland
Le soleil brille sur le terrain vague
Old man sitting in the white sand
Un vieil homme assis dans le sable blanc
Think we're in for a big surprise
On dirait qu'on va avoir une grosse surprise
Right between the eyes
En plein dans les yeux
"Die" said the General
« Mourir », a dit le général
"Cobblers" said the man
« Des âneries », a dit l'homme
So the Pentagon sent a cable
Alors le Pentagone a envoyé un câble
And the Queen a telegram
Et la reine un télégramme
A-bombs, H-bombs, even very small ones
Des bombes A, des bombes H, même de très petites
Ripped apart that sand
Ont déchiré ce sable
'Til the stench was just revolting
Jusqu'à ce que l'odeur devienne révoltante
And the sky a greenish tan
Et le ciel d'un vert jaunâtre
But the soldier said "Sir,
Mais le soldat a dit « Monsieur,
There's a crack in the world"
Il y a une fissure dans le monde »
And the figures went "squash",
Et les chiffres ont fait « squash »,
And the bits flew far and wide
Et les morceaux ont volé au loin
How the universe sighed!
Comme l'univers a soupiré !
All clear wail the sirens
Les sirènes hurlent, tout est clair
Sunshine on the wasteland
Le soleil brille sur le terrain vague
Old man sitting in the white sand
Un vieil homme assis dans le sable blanc
Think we're in for a big surprise
On dirait qu'on va avoir une grosse surprise
Right between the eyes
En plein dans les yeux
All clear wail the sirens
Les sirènes hurlent, tout est clair
Sunshine on the wasteland
Le soleil brille sur le terrain vague
Old man sitting in the white sand
Un vieil homme assis dans le sable blanc
Think we're in for a big surprise
On dirait qu'on va avoir une grosse surprise
Right between the eyes
En plein dans les yeux
When the smoke had blown away
Quand la fumée s'est dissipée
There was nothing left to view
Il ne restait rien à voir
Except a man dear Lord who looked like you
Sauf un homme, mon Dieu, qui te ressemblait
Floating high up in the sky
Flottait haut dans le ciel
