Lyrics and translation Freddie Mercury - The Golden Boy (2nd early version: extract)




The Golden Boy (2nd early version: extract)
Le garçon d'or (2ème version précoce : extrait)
The boy had a way with words, he sang, he moved with grace
Le garçon avait un don pour les mots, il chantait, il se déplaçait avec grâce
He entertained so naturally, no gesture out of place
Il divertissait si naturellement, aucun geste déplacé
His road in life was clearly drawn, he didn't hesitate
Son chemin dans la vie était clairement tracé, il n'hésitait pas
He played, they saw, he conquered as the master of, as the master of his
Il jouait, ils regardaient, il conquérait en tant que maître de, en tant que maître de son
Fate
Destin
The girl had an iron soul no-one could recognise
La fille avait une âme de fer que personne ne pouvait reconnaître
Material ambition that her gentleness disguised
Une ambition matérielle que sa gentillesse cachait
She gave herself to him certain of his fame
Elle s'est donnée à lui, certaine de sa renommée
Wanted him for luxury, for limelight and his name
Elle le voulait pour le luxe, pour les projecteurs et son nom
And then he sang to her
Et puis il lui a chanté
I love you for your silence, I love you for your peace
Je t'aime pour ton silence, je t'aime pour ta paix
The still and calm releases that sweep into my soul
Le calme et la tranquillité qui balayent mon âme
That slowly take control
Qui prennent lentement le contrôle
I love you for your passion, I love you for your fire
Je t'aime pour ta passion, je t'aime pour ton feu
The violent desire that burns me in its flame
Le désir violent qui me brûle dans sa flamme
A love I dare not name
Un amour que je n'ose pas nommer
His rise was irresistible (yeah) - he grew into the part
Son ascension était irrésistible (oui) - il a grandi dans le rôle
His explanation simply that he suffered for his art
Son explication était simplement qu'il souffrait pour son art
No base considerations of some glittering reward
Pas de considérations bassement matérielles pour une récompense étincelante
The prize was knowing that his work was noticed and adored
Le prix était de savoir que son travail était remarqué et adoré
I love you (yes I love you) for your silence, I love you for your peace
Je t'aime (oui je t'aime) pour ton silence, je t'aime pour ta paix
The still and calm releases that sweep into my soul
Le calme et la tranquillité qui balayent mon âme
That slowly slowly take control
Qui prennent lentement lentement le contrôle
Yes he told the truth (he told the truth), yes he told the truth
Oui il a dit la vérité (il a dit la vérité), oui il a dit la vérité
Accepting every honour with a masterly display
Acceptant chaque honneur avec une démonstration magistrale
Of well rehearsed reluctance to be singled out this way
De réticence bien répétée à être mis en avant de cette façon
He started to believe that he was all they said and more (and more)
Il a commencé à croire qu'il était tout ce qu'ils disaient et plus (et plus)
While she forgot, she forgot the reasons (reasons)
Alors qu'elle oubliait, elle oubliait les raisons (raisons)
She had wanted him before
Elle l'avait voulu avant
(I love you) I love you for your passion (for your passion)
(Je t'aime) Je t'aime pour ta passion (pour ta passion)
I love you for your fire
Je t'aime pour ton feu
The violent desire that burns me in its flame (burns me in its flame)
Le désir violent qui me brûle dans sa flamme (me brûle dans sa flamme)
A love I dare not name
Un amour que je n'ose pas nommer
The still and calm releases (releases)
Le calme et la tranquillité qui balayent (balayent)
That sweep into my soul (sweep into my soul)
Mon âme (mon âme)
That slowly (slowly) slowly (slowly)
Qui prennent lentement (lentement) lentement (lentement)
Slowly (slowly) slowly (slowly) take control
Lentement (lentement) lentement (lentement) le contrôle
And when at last they fell apart, she wished that she could be
Et quand finalement ils se sont séparés, elle aurait souhaité pouvoir être
The hardened heart of yesterday, as cynical as he
Le cœur endurci d'hier, aussi cynique que lui
By changing for the better, she had changed things for the worse
En changeant pour le mieux, elle avait changé les choses pour le pire
The words that made them happy once now echoed - echoed as a curse
Les mots qui les rendaient heureux autrefois résonnaient maintenant - résonnaient comme une malédiction
