Lyrics and translation Grateful Dead - My Brother Esau (Live at River Bend Music Center, Cincinnati, OH - 6/24/85)




My Brother Esau (Live at River Bend Music Center, Cincinnati, OH - 6/24/85)
Mon frère Esaü (En direct du River Bend Music Center, Cincinnati, OH - 24/06/85)
My brother Esau killed a hunter
Mon frère Esaü a tué un chasseur
Back in 1969
En 1969
And before the killing was done,
Et avant que le meurtre ne soit terminé,
His inheritance was mine.
Son héritage était le mien.
But his birthright was a wand to wave
Mais son droit d'aînesse était une baguette à agiter
Before a weary band.
Devant une bande fatiguée.
Esau gave me sleeplessness
Esaü m'a donné l'insomnie
And a piece of moral land.
Et un morceau de terre morale.
My father favored Esau,
Mon père favorisait Esaü,
Who was eager to obey
Qui était désireux d'obéir
All the bloody wild commandments
À tous les commandements sauvages et sanglants
The Old Man shot his way.
Le Vieil Homme se faufilait.
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.
He staggered home
Il est rentré chez lui en titubant
And found me in the door.
Et m'a trouvé à la porte.
Esau skates on mirrors anymore...
Esaü glisse sur des miroirs maintenant...
He meets his pale reflection at the door.
Il rencontre son reflet pâle à la porte.
Yet sometimes at night I dream
Et pourtant, parfois la nuit, je rêve
He′s still that hairy man,
Qu'il est toujours cet homme poilu,
Shadowboxing the Apocalypse
Boxant dans l'ombre l'Apocalypse
And wandering the land.
Et errant à travers le pays.
Shadowboxing the Apocalypse
Boxant dans l'ombre l'Apocalypse
And wandering the land.
Et errant à travers le pays.
Esau holds a blessing;
Esaü détient une bénédiction ;
Brother Esau bears a curse.
Frère Esaü porte une malédiction.
I would say that the blame is mine
Je dirais que le blâme est le mien
But I suspect it's something worse.
Mais je soupçonne que c'est quelque chose de pire.
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 à frère et c'est homme à homme
And it's face to face and it′s hand to hand...
Et c'est face à face et c'est main à main...
We shadowdance the silent war within.
Nous dansons dans l'ombre la guerre silencieuse à l'intérieur.
The shadowdance, it never ends...
La danse des ombres, elle ne finit jamais...
Never ends, never ends.
Ne finit jamais, ne finit jamais.
Shadowboxing the Apocalypse, yet again...
Boxant dans l'ombre l'Apocalypse, encore une fois...
Yet again.
Encore une fois.
Shadowboxing the Apocalypse,
Boxant dans l'ombre l'Apocalypse,
And wandering the land
Et errant à travers le pays
