Lyrics and translation Elvis Costello - One Bell Ringing
Raining
slapping
on
the
window
pane
La
pluie
frappe
la
vitre
An
hour
or
more
of
teeming
Pendant
une
heure
ou
plus,
elle
déluge
Storm
punching
like
a
hurricane
L'orage
frappe
comme
un
ouragan
That
tore
him
out
of
dreaming
Qui
l'a
arraché
de
ses
rêves
Air
screaming
through
the
slightest
gap
L'air
hurle
à
travers
la
moindre
ouverture
Rattling
between
the
frame
and
the
sill
Grogne
entre
le
cadre
et
le
seuil
Drapes
hanging
from
the
final
act
Les
rideaux
pendent
de
l'acte
final
When
I
had
you
still
Quand
je
t'avais
encore
One
lonely
bird
is
singing
Un
oiseau
solitaire
chante
Lower
the
hood
hung
of
his
lament
Le
capuchon
de
son
lamento
est
abaissé
Dash
him
down
on
cold
cement
Frappe-le
sur
le
ciment
froid
One
Bell
Ringing
Une
Cloche
Sonne
Flies
buzzing
round
strip
search
light
Des
mouches
bourdonnent
autour
de
la
lumière
de
fouille
They′ve
got
him
down
on
his
knees
Ils
l'ont
mis
à
genoux
He
thinks
of
honey
dripping
from
a
spoon
Il
pense
au
miel
qui
goutte
d'une
cuillère
Girls

Deny
