Lyrics and translation Elton John - Ticking (Remastered 2017)




Ticking (Remastered 2017)
Le tic-tac (Remasterisé 2017)
"An extremely quiet child" they called you in your school reports
"Un enfant extrêmement calme", c'est ce qu'ils disaient de toi dans tes bulletins scolaires, ma chérie.
"He's always taken interest in the subjects that he's taught"
"Il s'intéresse toujours aux sujets qu'on lui enseigne."
So what was it that brought the squad car screaming up your drive
Alors qu'est-ce qui a amené la voiture de police à hurler dans ton allée,
To notify your parents of the manner in which you died
Pour informer tes parents de la manière dont tu es morte ?
At St. Patrick's every Sunday, Father Fletcher heard your sins
À Saint-Patrick, chaque dimanche, le Père Fletcher écoutait tes péchés.
"Oh, he's unconcerned with competition he never cares to win"
"Oh, il se moque de la compétition, il ne cherche jamais à gagner."
But blood stained a young hand that never held a gun
Mais le sang a taché une jeune main qui n'avait jamais tenu de pistolet.
And his parents never thought of him as their troubled son
Et tes parents ne t'ont jamais considérée comme leur enfant à problèmes.
"Now you'll never get to Heaven" Mama said
"Maintenant, tu n'iras jamais au Paradis", disait Maman.
Remember Mama said
Souviens-toi de ce que disait Maman.
Ticking, ticking
Tic-tac, tic-tac.
"Grow up straight and true blue
"Grandis droite et loyale,
Run along to bed"
Cours te coucher."
Hear it, hear it, ticking, ticking
Écoute-le, écoute-le, tic-tac, tic-tac.
They had you holed up in a downtown bar screaming for a priest
Ils t'avaient coincée dans un bar du centre-ville, hurlant pour un prêtre.
Some gook said "His brain's just snapped" then someone called the police
Un type a dit : "Elle a juste pété les plombs", puis quelqu'un a appelé la police.
You'd knifed a Negro waiter who had tried to calm you down
Tu avais poignardé un serveur noir qui avait essayé de te calmer.
Oh you'd pulled a gun and told them all to lay still on the ground
Oh, tu avais sorti une arme et leur avais dit à tous de rester au sol.
Promising to hurt no one, providing they were still
Promettant de ne blesser personne, à condition qu'ils restent immobiles.
A young man tried to make a break, with tear-filled eyes you killed
Un jeune homme a essayé de s'enfuir, les yeux remplis de larmes, tu l'as tué.
That gun butt felt so smooth and warm cradled in your palm
La crosse du pistolet était si douce et chaude, bercée dans ta paume.
Oh your childhood cried out in your head "they mean to do you harm"
Oh, ton enfance criait dans ta tête "ils veulent te faire du mal".
"Don't ever ride on the devil's knee" Mama said
"Ne t'assois jamais sur les genoux du diable", disait Maman.
Remember mama said
Souviens-toi de ce que disait Maman.
Ticking, ticking
Tic-tac, tic-tac.
"Pay your penance well, my child
"Fais bien ta pénitence, mon enfant,
Fear where angels tread"
Crains l'endroit les anges marchent."
Hear it, hear it, ticking, ticking
Écoute-le, écoute-le, tic-tac, tic-tac.
Within an hour the news had reached the media machine
En moins d'une heure, la nouvelle avait atteint la machine médiatique.
A male caucasian with a gun had gone berserk in Queens
Une femme caucasienne armée était devenue folle furieuse dans le Queens.
The area had been sealed off, the kids sent home from school
La zone avait été bouclée, les enfants renvoyés de l'école.
Fourteen people lying dead in a bar they called the Kicking Mule
Quatorze personnes gisaient mortes dans un bar qu'ils appelaient le Kicking Mule.
Oh they pleaded to your sanity for the sake of those inside
Oh, ils ont supplié ta raison pour le bien de ceux qui étaient à l'intérieur.
"Throw out your gun, walk out slow just keep your hands held high"
"Jette ton arme, sors lentement, garde les mains en l'air."
But they pumped you full of rifle shells as you stepped out the door
Mais ils t'ont criblée de balles de fusil lorsque tu as franchi la porte.
Oh you danced in death like a marionette on the vengeance of the law
Oh, tu as dansé dans la mort comme une marionnette sous la vengeance de la loi.
"You've slept too long in silence" Mama said
"Tu as dormi trop longtemps en silence", disait Maman.
Remember Mama said
Souviens-toi de ce que disait Maman.
Ticking, ticking
Tic-tac, tic-tac.
"Crazy boy, you'll only wind up with strange notions in your head"
"Fille folle, tu finiras avec d'étranges idées en tête."
Hear it, hear it, ticking, ticking
Écoute-le, écoute-le, tic-tac, tic-tac.
