Les Super-Hommes (avec Mick Ronson) [Sounds of the 70s - Bob Harris, enregistré le 21.9.71] [Version remasterisée 2000]
When all the world was very young
Lorsque le monde était très jeune
And mountain magic heavy hung
Et que la magie de la montagne planait lourdement
The supermen would walk in file
Les super-hommes marchaient en rang
Guardians of a loveless isle
Gardiens d'une île sans amour
And gloomy browed with superfear
Et le front sombre avec une peur surnaturelle
Their endless tragic lives
Leurs vies tragiques sans fin
Could heave nor sigh
Ne pouvaient ni soulever ni soupirer
In solemn, perverse serenity
Dans une sérénité solennelle et perverse
Wondrous beings chained to life
Des êtres merveilleux enchaînés à la vie
Strange games they would play then
Des jeux étranges qu'ils jouaient alors
No death for the perfect men
Pas de mort pour les hommes parfaits
Life rolls into one for them
La vie se déroule en une seule pour eux
So softly a supergod cries
Si doucement un super-dieu pleure
Where all were minds in uni-thought
Là où tous étaient des esprits unis dans la pensée
Power weird by mystics taught
Le pouvoir étrange enseigné par les mystiques
No pain, no joy, no power too great
Pas de douleur, pas de joie, pas de pouvoir trop grand
Colossal strength to grasp a fate
Une force colossale pour saisir un destin
Where sad-eyed mermen tossed in slumbers
Là où les hommes-poissons aux yeux tristes se sont laissés aller à des sommeils
Nightmare dreams no mortal mind could hold
Des rêves de cauchemars qu'aucun esprit mortel ne pouvait retenir
A man would tear his brother's flesh
Un homme déchirerait la chair de son frère
A chance to die
Une chance de mourir
To turn to mold
De se transformer en poussière
Far out in the red-sky
Au loin dans le ciel rouge
Far out from the sad eyes
Loin des yeux tristes
Strange, mad celebration
Une étrange et folle célébration
So softly a supergod cries
Si doucement un super-dieu pleure
Far out in the red-sky
Au loin dans le ciel rouge
Far out from the sad eyes
Loin des yeux tristes
Strange, mad celebration
Une étrange et folle célébration
So softly a supergod dies
Si doucement un super-dieu meurt
