Lyrics and translation Elton John feat. Mick Ronson - Madman Across the Water
I
can
see
very
well
Je
vois
très
bien
There's
a
boat
on
the
reef
with
a
broken
back
Un
bateau
sur
le
récif
avec
un
dos
cassé
And
I
can
see
it
very
well
Et
je
le
vois
très
bien
There's
a
joke
and
I
know
it
very
well
Il
y
a
une
blague
et
je
la
connais
très
bien
It's
one
of
those
that
I
told
you
long
ago
C'est
l'une
de
celles
que
je
t'ai
racontées
il
y
a
longtemps
Take
my
word,
I'm
a
madman,
don't
you
know?
Crois-moi,
je
suis
un
fou,
tu
ne
sais
pas
?
Once
a
fool
had
a
good
part
in
the
play
Un
jour,
un
imbécile
avait
un
bon
rôle
dans
la
pièce
If
it's
so,
would
I
still
be
here
today?
Si
c'est
le
cas,
serais-je
encore
ici
aujourd'hui
?
It's
quite
peculiar
in
a
funny
sort
of
way
C'est
assez
particulier
d'une
manière
drôle
They
think
it's
very
funny
everything
I
say
Ils
trouvent
très
drôle
tout
ce
que
je
dis
Get
a
load
of
him,
he's
so
insane
Regarde-le,
il
est
tellement
fou
You
better
get
your
coat,
dear
Tu
ferais
mieux
d'aller
chercher
ton
manteau,
chérie
It
looks
like
rain
On
dirait
qu'il
va
pleuvoir
We'll
come
again
next
Thursday
afternoon
On
reviendra
jeudi
après-midi
The
in-laws
hope
they'll
see
you
very
soon
Les
beaux-parents
espèrent
te
voir
très
bientôt
But
is
it
in
your
conscience
that
you're
after
Mais
est-ce
dans
ta
conscience
que
tu
recherches
Another
glimpse
of
the
madman
across
the
water?
Un
autre
aperçu
du
fou
de
l'autre
côté
de
l'eau
?
I
can

very

The
ground's
a
long
way
down
but
I
need
more
Le
sol
est
loin,
mais
j'ai
besoin
de
plus
Is
the
nightmare
black
Le
cauchemar
est-il
noir
Or
are
the
windows
painted?
Ou
les
fenêtres
sont-elles
peintes
?
Will
they
come
again
next
week?
Vont-ils
revenir
la
semaine
prochaine
?
Can
my
mind
really
take
it?
Mon
esprit
peut-il
vraiment
le
supporter
?
We'll
come
again
next
Thursday
afternoon
On
reviendra
jeudi
après-midi
The
