Lyrics and translation Elton John - The Diving Board
Took
a
high
dive
arcing
out
wide
J'ai
fait
un
grand
plongeon
en
arc
de
cercle
Into
the
crowd
Dans
la
foule
Out
to
the
sound
of
their
wild
applause
Au
son
de
leurs
applaudissements
sauvages
But
you've
heard
it
all
before
Mais
tu
as
tout
entendu
auparavant
And
you've
seen
it
all
Et
tu
as
tout
vu
From
up
there
on
the
diving
board
De
là-haut
sur
le
plongeoir
You'd
free
fall
into
either
Tu
tombais
librement
dans
l'un
ou
l'autre
Above
the
people
Au-dessus
des
gens
Out
on
a
limb
fragile
and
adored
Sur
une
branche
fragile
et
adorée
But
who
below
knows
that
Mais
qui
en
bas
sait
que
You're
still
a
mystery
Tu
es
toujours
un
mystère
Way
up
on
the
diving
board
Là-haut
sur
le
plongeoir
Sink
or
swim
Couler
ou
nager
I
can't
recall
Je
ne
me
souviens
pas
Who
said
that
to
me?
Qui
m'a
dit
ça
?
When
I
was
sixteen
Quand
j'avais
seize
ans
And
full
of
the
world
and
its
noise
Et
plein
du
monde
et
de
son
bruit
But
you
beat
the
drum
Mais
tu
as
battu
le
tambour
You
fell
in
love
with
it
all
Tu
es
tombée
amoureuse
de
tout
ça
The
planets
alight
Les
planètes
allumées
Those
dizzy
heights
Ces
vertiges
And
the
view
from
the
diving
board
Et
la
vue
du
plongeoir
Took
the
grand
prize
you
and
your
eyes
J'ai
gagné
le
grand
prix,
toi
et
tes
yeux
Butterfly
light
Lumière
papillon
Escaping
the
reach
of
their
fangs
and
their
claws
Échappant
à
la
portée
de
leurs
crocs
et
de
leurs
griffes
Such
a
pale
little
thing
Une
si
petite
chose
pâle
In
your
lily-white
skin
Dans
ta
peau
blanche
comme
le
lis
High
up
on
the
diving
board
Là-haut
sur
le
plongeoir
Sink
or
swim
Couler
ou
nager
I
can't
recall
Je
ne
me
souviens
pas

tu
as
battu
le
tambour
You
fell

all
Tu
es
tombée
amoureuse
de
tout
ça
The
planets
alight
Les
