Lyrics and translation Grateful Dead - My Brother Esau - Live at Hampton Coliseum, Hampton, VA - 4/14/1984




My Brother Esau - Live at Hampton Coliseum, Hampton, VA - 4/14/1984
Mon Frère Ésaü - Live at Hampton Coliseum, Hampton, VA - 14/04/1984
My brother Esau killed a hunter
Mon frère Ésaü a tué un chasseur,
Back in 1969
En 1969, ma chère,
And before the killing was done,
Et avant que le carnage ne soit fini,
His inheritance was mine.
Son héritage était pour moi.
But his birthright was a wand to wave
Mais son droit d'aînesse était une baguette magique à brandir
Before a weary band.
Devant une troupe épuisée, tu sais.
Esau gave me sleeplessness
Ésaü m'a donné l'insomnie
And a piece of moral land.
Et un lopin de terre morale, c'est vrai.
My father favored Esau,
Mon père préférait Ésaü,
Who was eager to obey
Qui était prompt à obéir
All the bloody wild commandments
À tous les commandements sauvages et sanglants
The Old Man shot his way.
Que le Vieil Homme a imposés par la force.
But all this favor ended
Mais toute cette faveur a pris fin
When my brother failed at war.
Quand mon frère a échoué à la guerre, ma belle.
He staggered home
Il est rentré en titubant
And found me in the door.
Et m'a trouvé à la porte, je te le dis.
Esau skates on mirrors anymore...
Ésaü patine sur des miroirs maintenant...
He meets his pale reflection at the door.
Il rencontre son pâle reflet à la porte.
Yet sometimes at night I dream
Pourtant, parfois la nuit, je rêve
He's still that hairy man,
Qu'il est encore cet homme velu,
Shadowboxing the Apocalypse
Boxant l'ombre de l'Apocalypse
And wandering the land.
Et errant sur la terre, tu vois.
Shadowboxing the Apocalypse
Boxant l'ombre de l'Apocalypse
And wandering the land.
Et errant sur la terre.
Esau holds a blessing;
Ésaü détient une bénédiction ;
Brother Esau bears a curse.
Mon frère Ésaü porte une malédiction.
I would say that the blame is mine
Je dirais que la faute est mienne,
But I suspect it's something worse.
Mais je soupçonne que c'est pire encore, ma chérie.
The more my brother looks like me,
Plus mon frère me ressemble,
The less I understand
Moins je comprends
The silent war that bloodied both our hands.
La guerre silencieuse qui a ensanglanté nos deux mains.
Sometimes at night, I think I understand.
Parfois, la nuit, je crois comprendre.
It's brother to brother and it's man to man
C'est frère contre frère et c'est homme contre homme
And it's face to face and it's hand to hand...
Et c'est face à face et c'est main dans la main...
We shadowdance the silent war within.
Nous dansons l'ombre de la guerre silencieuse en nous.
The shadowdance, it never ends...
La danse des ombres, elle ne finit jamais...
Never ends, never ends.
Jamais, jamais.
Shadowboxing the Apocalypse, yet again...
Boxant l'ombre de l'Apocalypse, encore une fois...
Yet again.
Encore une fois.
Shadowboxing the Apocalypse,
Boxant l'ombre de l'Apocalypse,
And wandering the land
Et errant sur la terre.
