Lyrics and translation Grateful Dead - Throwing Stones - Live
Throwing Stones - Live
Jetant des pierres - Live
Picture
a
bright
blue
ball
Imagine
une
boule
bleue
brillante
Just
spinning,
spinning
free
Qui
tourne,
tourne
librement
Dizzy
with
eternity
Vertigineuse
d'éternité
Paint
it
with
a
skin
of
sky,
Peins-la
avec
une
peau
de
ciel,
Brush
in
some
clouds
and
sea
Ajoute
quelques
nuages
et
la
mer
Call
it
home
for
you
and
me
Appelle
ça
notre
maison,
toi
et
moi
A
peaceful
place
or
so
it
looks
from
space
Un
endroit
paisible,
du
moins
vu
de
l'espace
[A]
closer
look
reveals
the
human
race
Un
regard
plus
attentif
révèle
la
race
humaine
Full
of
hope,
full
of
grace
is
the
human
face
Plein
d'espoir,
plein
de
grâce
est
le
visage
humain
But
afraid
we
may
lay
our
home
to
waste
Mais
on
craint
de
réduire
notre
maison
en
poussière
There's
a
fear
down
here
we
can't
forget
Il
y
a
une
peur
ici-bas
qu'on
ne
peut
oublier
Hasn't
got
a
name
just
yet
Elle
n'a
pas
encore
de
nom
Always
awake,
always
around
Toujours
éveillée,
toujours
présente
Singing
ashes,
ashes
all
fall
down
Chantant
des
cendres,
les
cendres
retombent
toutes
(Ashes,
ashes
all
fall
down)
(Les
cendres,
les
cendres
retombent
toutes)
Now
watch
as
the
ball
revolves
and
the
nighttime
falls
Maintenant
regarde
comme
la
boule
tourne
et
la
nuit
tombe
And
again
the
hunt
begins,
and
again
the
bloodwind
calls
Et
de
nouveau
la
chasse
commence,
et
de
nouveau
le
vent
de
sang
appelle
By
and
by
again,
the
morning
sun
will
rise
Encore
et
encore,
le
soleil
du
matin
se
lèvera
[But]
the
darkness
never
goes
from
some
mens
eyes
(oh
no)
Mais
les
ténèbres
ne
quittent
jamais
les
yeux
de
certains
hommes
(oh
non)
It
strolls
the
sidewalks
and
it
rolls
the
streets
Elles
se
promènent
sur
les
trottoirs
et
roulent
dans
les
rues
It's
taking
turf,
dividing
up
meat
Elles
prennent
le
dessus,
divisant
la
viande
Nightmare
spook,
piece
of
heat
Cauchemar
effrayant,
morceau
de
chaleur
It's
you
and
me,
C'est
toi
et
moi,
Flashblade
in
ghetto
night
Lame
éclair
dans
la
nuit
du
ghetto
Rudies
looking
for
a
fight
Des
voyous
cherchant
la
bagarre
Rat
cat
alley
roll
them
bones
Ruelle
de
chats
errants,
lance
les
dés
Need
that
cash
to
feed
that
jones
Besoin
d'argent
pour
nourrir
cette
dépendance
And
the
politicians
throwing
stones
Et
les
politiciens
jettent
des
pierres
Singing
ashes,
ashes
all
fall
down
Chantant
des
cendres,
les
cendres
retombent
toutes
(Ashes,
ashes
all
fall
down)
(Les
cendres,
les
cendres
retombent
toutes)
Commissars
and
pin-striped
bosses
roll
the
dice
Commissaires
et
patrons
en
costard
jettent
les
dés
Any
way
they
fall,
guess
who
gets
to
pay
the
price
Peu
importe
comment
ils
tombent,
devine
qui
paie
le
prix
Money
green,
the
proletarian
gray
L'argent
vert,
le
gris
prolétarien
Selling
guns
instead
of
food
today
Vendant
des
armes
au
lieu
de
nourriture
aujourd'hui
So
the
kids
they
dance,
they
shake
their
bones
Alors
les
enfants
dansent,
ils
secouent
leurs
os
While
the
politicians
throwing
stones
Pendant
que
les
politiciens
jettent
des
pierres
Singing
ashes,
ashes
all
fall
down
Chantant
des
cendres,
les
cendres
retombent
toutes
(Ashes,
ashes
all
fall
down)
(Les
cendres,
les
cendres
retombent
toutes)
Heartless
powers
try
to
tell
us
what
to
think
Les
pouvoirs
sans
cœur
essaient
de
nous
dire
quoi
penser
If
the
spirit's
sleeping,
then
the
flesh
is
ink
Si
l'esprit
dort,
alors
la
chair
n'est
qu'encre
History's
page
will
be
neatly
carved
in
stone
La
page
de
l'histoire
sera
soigneusement
gravée
dans
la
pierre
The
future's
here
– we
are
it
– we
are
on
our
own
Le
futur
est
là
- c'est
nous
- nous
sommes
seuls
(On
our
own,
on
our
own!
On
our
own!)
(Seuls,
seuls
! Seuls
!)
If
the
game
is
lost
then
we're
all
the
same
Si
la
partie
est
perdue,
alors
nous
sommes
tous
pareils
No
one
left
to
place
or
take
the
blame
Personne
ne
reste
pour
accuser
ou
endosser
la
responsabilité
We
will
leave
this
place
an
empty
stone
Nous
laisserons
cet
endroit
comme
une
pierre
vide
Oh
that
shinning
ball
Oh,
cette
boule
brillante
We
can
call
our
home
Que
nous
pouvons
appeler
notre
maison
So
the
kids
they
dance,
they
shake
their
bones
Alors
les
enfants
dansent,
ils
secouent
leurs
os
While
the
politicians
are
throwing
stones
Pendant
que
les
politiciens
jettent
des
pierres
Singing
ashes,
ashes
all
fall
down
Chantant
des
cendres,
les
cendres
retombent
toutes
(Ashes,
ashes
all
fall
down)
(Les
cendres,
les
cendres
retombent
toutes)
Shooting
powders
back
and
forth
Échangeant
des
tirs
de
poudre
Singing
black
goes
south
while
white
comes
north
Chantant
le
noir
va
au
sud
tandis
que
le
blanc
vient
au
nord
And
the
whole
world
full
of
petty
wars
Et
le
monde
entier
rempli
de
guerres
mesquines
Singing
"I
got
mine
and
you
got
yours"
Chantant
"J'ai
le
mien
et
tu
as
le
tien"
And
the
current
fashions
set
the
pace
Et
les
modes
actuelles
donnent
le
ton
Lose
your
step,
fall
out
of
grace
Perds
le
rythme,
tombe
en
disgrâce
And
the
radical,
he
rant
and
rage,
Et
le
radical,
il
fulmine
et
rage,
Singing
"someone
got
to
turn
the
page!"
Chantant
"quelqu'un
doit
tourner
la
page!"
And
the
rich
man
in
his
summer
home,
Et
le
riche
dans
sa
maison
d'été,
Singing
"just
leave
well
enough
alone!"
Chantant
"laissez
faire
comme
ça!"
But
his
pants
are
down,
his
cover's
blown
Mais
son
pantalon
est
baissé,
sa
couverture
est
tombée
And
the
politicians
throwing
stones
Et
les
politiciens
jettent
des
pierres
So
the
kids
they
dance
they
shake
their
bones
Alors
les
enfants
dansent,
ils
secouent
leurs
os
Cause
its
all
too
clear
were
on
our
own
Car
c'est
clair,
nous
sommes
seuls
Singing
ashes,
ashes
all
fall
down
Chantant
des
cendres,
les
cendres
retombent
toutes
(Ashes,
ashes
all
fall
down)
(Les
cendres,
les
cendres
retombent
toutes)
Picture
a
bright
blue
ball
just
spinning,
spinning
free
Imagine
une
boule
bleue
brillante
qui
tourne,
tourne
librement
It's
dizzying,
the
possibilities
C'est
vertigineux,
les
possibilités
Ashes,
ashes
all
fall
down
Les
cendres,
les
cendres
retombent
toutes
(Ashes,
ashes
all
fall
down)
(Les
cendres,
les
cendres
retombent
toutes)
