Lyrics and translation Fairport Convention - Suzanne - Live On 'John Peel's Top Gear', 1968




Suzanne - Live On 'John Peel's Top Gear', 1968
Suzanne - Live On 'John Peel's Top Gear', 1968
Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
Suzanne t'emmène dans sa maison près de la rivière
You can hear the boats go by
Tu peux entendre les bateaux passer
You can spend the night beside her
Tu peux passer la nuit à ses côtés
And you know that she′s half crazy
Et tu sais qu'elle est un peu folle
But that's why you want to be there
Mais c'est pour ça que tu veux être
And she feeds you tea and oranges
Et elle te sert du thé et des oranges
That come all the way from China
Qui viennent tout droit de Chine
And just when you mean to tell her
Et juste au moment tu veux lui dire
That you have no love to give her
Que tu n'as pas d'amour à lui donner
Then she gets you on her wavelength
Alors elle te met sur sa longueur d'onde
And she lets the river answer
Et elle laisse la rivière répondre
That you′ve always been her lover
Que tu as toujours été son amant
And you want to travel with her
Et tu veux voyager avec elle
And you want to travel blind
Et tu veux voyager aveugle
And you know that she will trust you
Et tu sais qu'elle te fera confiance
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind
Car tu as touché son corps parfait avec ton esprit
And Jesus was a sailor
Et Jésus était un marin
When he walked upon the water
Quand il marchait sur l'eau
And he spent a long time watching
Et il a passé beaucoup de temps à regarder
From his lonely wooden tower
Depuis sa tour de bois solitaire
And when he knew for certain
Et quand il a su avec certitude
Only drowning men could see him
Que seuls les hommes qui se noient pouvaient le voir
He said "All men will be sailors then
Il a dit "Tous les hommes seront alors des marins
Until the sea shall free them"
Jusqu'à ce que la mer les libère"
But he himself was broken
Mais il était lui-même brisé
Long before the sky would open
Bien avant que le ciel ne s'ouvre
Forsaken, almost human
Abandonné, presque humain
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
Il a coulé sous ta sagesse comme une pierre
And you want to travel with him
Et tu veux voyager avec lui
And you want to travel blind
Et tu veux voyager aveugle
And you think maybe you'll trust him
Et tu penses que peut-être tu lui feras confiance
For he′s touched your perfect body with his mind
Car il a touché ton corps parfait avec son esprit
Now Suzanne takes your hand
Maintenant Suzanne te prend la main
And she leads you to the river
Et elle te conduit à la rivière
She is wearing rags and feathers
Elle porte des chiffons et des plumes
From Salvation Army counters
Des comptoirs de l'Armée du Salut
And the sun pours down like honey
Et le soleil se déverse comme du miel
On our lady of the harbour
Sur notre dame du port
And she shows you where to look
Et elle te montre regarder
Among the garbage and the flowers
Parmi les ordures et les fleurs
There are heroes in the seaweed
Il y a des héros dans les algues
There are children in the morning
Il y a des enfants dans le matin
They are leaning out for love
Ils se penchent pour l'amour
And they will lean that way forever
Et ils se pencheront ainsi pour toujours
While Suzanne holds the mirror
Alors que Suzanne tient le miroir
And you want to travel with her
Et tu veux voyager avec elle
And you want to travel blind
Et tu veux voyager aveugle
And you know that you can trust her
Et tu sais que tu peux lui faire confiance
For she′s touched your perfect body with her mind
Car elle a touché ton corps parfait avec son esprit
