Lyrics and translation Elton John - The Bridge
I've
seen
the
bridge
and
the
bridge
is
long
J'ai
vu
le
pont
et
le
pont
est
long
And
they
built
it
high
and
they
built
it
strong
Et
ils
l'ont
construit
haut
et
ils
l'ont
construit
fort
Strong
enough
to
hold
the
weight
of
time
Assez
fort
pour
supporter
le
poids
du
temps
Long
enough
to
leave
some
of
us
behind
Assez
long
pour
laisser
certains
d'entre
nous
derrière
And
every
one
of
us
has
to
face
that
day
Et
chacun
de
nous
doit
faire
face
à
ce
jour
Do
you
cross
the
bridge
or
do
you
fade
away
Traverses-tu
le
pont
ou
t'effaces-tu
And
every
one
of
us
that
ever
came
to
play
Et
chacun
de
nous
qui
est
venu
jouer
Has
to
cross
the
bridge
or
fade
away
Doit
traverser
le
pont
ou
s'effacer
Standing
on
the
bridge
looking
at
the
waves
Debout
sur
le
pont
en
regardant
les
vagues
Seen
so
many
jump,
never
seen
one
saved
J'en
ai
vu
tant
sauter,
je
n'en
ai
jamais
vu
un
sauvé
On
a
distant
beach
your
song
can
die
Sur
une
plage
lointaine,
ta
chanson
peut
mourir
On
a
bitter
wind,
on
a
cruel
tide
Sur
un
vent
amer,
sur
une
marée
cruelle
And
every
one
of
us
has
to
face
that
day
Et
chacun
de
nous
doit
faire
face
à
ce
jour
Do
you
cross
the
bridge
or
do
you
fade
away
Traverses-tu
le
pont
ou
t'effaces-tu
And
every
one
of
us
that
ever
came
to
play
Et
chacun
de
nous
qui
est
venu
jouer
Has
to
cross
the
bridge
or
fade
away
Doit
traverser
le
pont
ou
s'effacer
And
the
bridge
it
shines
Et
le
pont
brille
Oh
cold
hard
iron
Oh
fer
froid
et
dur
Saying
come
and
risk
it
all
Disant
viens
et
risque
tout
Or
die
trying
Ou
mourir
en
essayant
And
every
one
of
us
has
to
face
that
day
Et
chacun
de
nous
doit
faire
face
à
ce
jour
Do
you
cross
the
bridge
or
do
you
fade
away
Traverses-tu
le
pont
ou
