Lyrics and translation David Harley - The Jailer




The Jailer
Le geôlier
The train will soon be leaving
Le train va bientôt partir
And the man says 'all aboard'
Et l'homme dit "tout le monde à bord"
But you never leave the platform
Mais tu ne quittes jamais le quai
And you never cut the cord
Et tu ne coupes jamais le cordon
Most days you think of leaving
La plupart du temps, tu penses à partir
But he'll always talk you round
Mais il te convaincra toujours
His words will talk you into silence
Ses mots te convaincront de te taire
And his arms will hold you down
Et ses bras te retiendront
You need so much to leave him
Il te faut tellement pour le quitter
But there's no one you can phone
Mais tu n'as personne à qui téléphoner
There's no ticket in your pocket
Il n'y a pas de billet dans ta poche
And you've no money of your own
Et tu n'as pas d'argent à toi
Sometimes he tells you that you're stupid
Parfois, il te dit que tu es stupide
Sometimes he tells you that you're ill
Parfois, il te dit que tu es malade
You dream of breaking free
Tu rêves de te libérer
And yet you don't believe you will
Et pourtant, tu ne crois pas que tu le feras
He knows just where you are
Il sait tu es
Every moment of the day
Chaque instant de la journée
He hears the thoughts inside your head
Il entend les pensées dans ta tête
He owns the very words you say
Il possède les mots que tu dis
He says that you're his lover
Il dit que tu es son amoureuse
And that's all you'll ever be
Et que c'est tout ce que tu seras jamais
But you know he's your jailer
Mais tu sais qu'il est ton geôlier
And he'll never set you free
Et qu'il ne te libérera jamais
Sometimes he'll loosen your shackles
Parfois, il desserre tes chaînes
But you're locked inside his head
Mais tu es enfermée dans sa tête
And you've never found the way
Et tu n'as jamais trouvé le moyen
To leave his arms or leave his bed
De quitter ses bras ou son lit
There's nowhere you can go
Il n'y a nulle part tu peux aller
And there's nothing you can say
Et il n'y a rien que tu puisses dire
Because he knows you'll never leave him
Parce qu'il sait que tu ne le quitteras jamais
And that's exactly why you stay
Et c'est exactement pourquoi tu restes
The train will soon be leaving
Le train va bientôt partir
And the man says 'all aboard'
Et l'homme dit "tout le monde à bord"
But you never leave the platform
Mais tu ne quittes jamais le quai
And you never pull the cord
Et tu ne tires jamais la corde
