Lyrics and translation Grateful Dead - St. Stephen - Live at Avalon Ballroom, San Fran - 10/12/1968




St. Stephen - Live at Avalon Ballroom, San Fran - 10/12/1968
Saint Stephen - Live à l'Avalon Ballroom, San Francisco - 10/12/1968
Saint Stephen with a rose
Saint Stephen avec une rose, ma chérie,
In and out of the garden he goes
Va et vient dans le jardin, tu sais,
Country garden in the wind and the rain
Jardin champêtre sous le vent et la pluie,
Wherever he goes the people all complain
qu'il aille, les gens se plaignent, c'est la vie.
Stephen prospered in his time
Stephen a prospéré en son temps, ma belle,
Well, he may and he may decline
Eh bien, il peut s'élever, il peut décliner, c'est comme ça,
Did it matter, does it now?
Est-ce important, l'est-ce encore ?
Stephen would answer if he only knew how
Stephen répondrait s'il savait seulement comment faire, alors.
Wishing well with a golden bell
Puits à souhaits avec une cloche dorée,
Bucket hangin' clear to Hell
Seau suspendu jusqu'en Enfer,
Hell halfway twixt now and then
L'Enfer à mi-chemin entre maintenant et après,
Stephen fill it up and lower down and lower down again
Stephen le remplit et le descend, encore et encore, ma douce.
Lady finger, dipped in moonlight
Doigt de dame, trempé dans le clair de lune,
Writing, "What for?", across the morning sky
Écrivant "Pourquoi ?" à travers le ciel du matin,
Sunlight splatters, dawn with answer
La lumière du soleil éclabousse, l'aube répond,
Darkness shrugs and bids the day goodbye
L'obscurité hausse les épaules et dit au revoir au jour.
Speeding arrow, sharp and narrow
Flèche rapide, pointue et étroite,
What a lot of fleeting matters you have spurned
Que de choses fugaces tu as rejetées,
Several seasons with their treasons
Plusieurs saisons avec leurs trahisons,
Wrap the babe in scarlet colors, call it your own
Enveloppe le bébé de couleurs écarlates, appelle-le tien.
Did he doubt or did he try?
A-t-il douté ou a-t-il essayé, ma reine ?
Answers aplenty in the bye and bye
Des réponses à foison dans l'au-delà,
Talk about your plenty and talk about your ills
Parle de ton abondance et parle de tes maux,
One man gathers what another man spills
Un homme rassemble ce qu'un autre homme renverse.
Saint Stephen will remain
Saint Stephen restera,
All he's lost he shall regain
Tout ce qu'il a perdu, il le retrouvera,
Seashore washed by the suds and foam
Rivage lavé par l'écume et la mousse,
Been here so long, he's got to callin' it home
Il est ici depuis si longtemps qu'il appelle ça sa maison.
Fortune comes a crawlin', calliope woman
La fortune arrive en rampant, femme calliope,
Spinnin' that curious sense of your own
Tournant ce curieux sens qui est le tien,
Can you answer? Yes I can
Peux-tu répondre ? Oui, je peux,
But what would be the answer to the answer man?
Mais quelle serait la réponse à l'homme aux réponses ?
