Lyrics and translation Donovan - The Ballad of a Crystal Man (Universal Soldier EP Version)
Walk
along
and
talk
along
and
live
your
lives
quite
freely
Marchez,
parlez
et
vivez
librement
votre
vie
But
leave
our
children
with
their
toys
of
peppermint
and
candy
Mais
laissez
nos
enfants
avec
leurs
jouets
de
menthe
et
de
bonbon
For
seagull,
I
don′t
want
your
wings
Car
mouette,
je
ne
veux
pas
de
tes
ailes
I
don't
want
your
freedom
in
a
lie
Je
ne
veux
pas
de
ta
liberté
dans
un
mensonge
Your
thoughts
they
are
of
harlequin,
your
speeches
of
quicksilver
Tes
pensées
sont
d'arlequin,
tes
discours
de
vif-argent
I
read
your
faces
like
a
poem,
kaleidoscope
of
hate
words
Je
lis
tes
visages
comme
un
poème,
un
kaléidoscope
de
mots
de
haine
For
seagull,
I
don′t
want
your
wings
Car
mouette,
je
ne
veux
pas
de
tes
ailes
I
don't
want
your
freedom
in
a
lie
Je
ne
veux
pas
de
ta
liberté
dans
un
mensonge
As
you
fill
your
glasses
with
the
wine
of
murdered
negroes
Alors
que
tu
remplis
tes
verres
du
vin
des
nègres
assassinés
Thinking
not
of
beauty
that
spreads
like
morning
sun-glow
Ne
pensant
pas
à
la
beauté
qui
se
répand
comme
la
lueur
du
soleil
du
matin
For
seagull,
I
don't
want
your
wings
Car
mouette,
je
ne
veux
pas
de
tes
ailes
I
don′t
want
your
freedom
in
a
lie
Je
ne
veux
pas
de
ta
liberté
dans
un
mensonge
On
the
quilted
battlefields
of
soldiers
dazzling,
made
of
toy
tin
Sur
les
champs
de
bataille
matelassés
de
soldats
éblouissants,
faits
de
boîtes
à
jouets
The
big
bomb
like
a
child′s
hand
could
sweep
them
dead
just
so
to
win
La
grosse
bombe
comme
la
main
d'un
enfant
pourrait
les
balayer
pour
gagner
Seagull,
I
don't
want
your
wings
Mouette,
je
ne
veux
pas
de
tes
ailes
I
don′t
want
your
freedom
in
a
lie
Je
ne
veux
pas
de
ta
liberté
dans
un
mensonge
Vietnam,
your
latest
game,
you're
playing
with
your
blackest
Queen
Vietnam,
ton
dernier
jeu,
tu
joues
avec
ta
reine
la
plus
noire
Damn
your
souls
and
curse
your
grins,
I
stand
here
with
a
fading
dream
Damne
tes
âmes
et
maudis
tes
sourires,
je
reste
là
avec
un
rêve
qui
s'estompe
Seagull,
I
don′t
want
your
wings
Mouette,
je
ne
veux
pas
de
tes
ailes
I
don't
want
your
freedom
in
a
lie
Je
ne
veux
pas
de
ta
liberté
dans
un
mensonge
