Lyrics and translation Harry Nilsson - The Town (narration)




The Town (narration)
La Ville (narration)
Years ago ...
Il y a des années...
There was a place called the Land of Point.
Il y avait un endroit appelé le Pays du Point.
And that is because everything in the Land of Point had one.
Et c'est parce que tout dans le Pays du Point en avait un.
The barns, the houses, the carts, everything, even the people.
Les granges, les maisons, les charrettes, tout, même les gens.
Everyone in the Land of Point had a point on the top of their head.
Tout le monde dans le Pays du Point avait un point sur le dessus de la tête.
Everyone, that is ...
Tout le monde, c'est-à-dire...
With the exception of Oblio.
À l'exception d'Oblio.
Now, although Oblio was born to a set of normally pointed parents and although he was born physically perfect in every other respect, he was born without a point.
Maintenant, bien qu'Oblio soit de parents normalement pointus et bien qu'il soit physiquement parfait à tous autres égards, il est sans point.
He was round headed.
Il avait la tête ronde.
And as time past Oblio became increasingly aware of his uniqueness and so did everyone else, which made life in the Land of Point rather uncomfortable for him and his parents.
Et au fil du temps, Oblio est devenu de plus en plus conscient de son unicité, et tout le monde l'a remarqué, ce qui a rendu la vie dans le Pays du Point assez inconfortable pour lui et ses parents.
You see, Oblio became sort of a involuntary celebrity and he was subject to the sometimes cruel and unusual harassment from his schoolmates.
Tu vois, Oblio est devenu une sorte de célébrité involontaire et il a été victime du harcèlement parfois cruel et inhabituel de ses camarades de classe.
It wasn't easy being the only pointless person in the whole Land of Point.
Ce n'était pas facile d'être la seule personne sans point dans tout le Pays du Point.
And in an effort to make life easier his mother knitted a pointed cap for him to wear ...
Et pour rendre la vie plus facile, sa mère lui a tricoté un bonnet pointu...
It was to conceal his pointless condition.
C'était pour cacher son état sans point.
But it didn't do much good because everyone knew he didn't have a point.
Mais ça n'a pas servi à grand-chose parce que tout le monde savait qu'il n'avait pas de point.
So it only managed to make Oblio a little lonelier.
Alors ça n'a fait que rendre Oblio un peu plus solitaire.
In fact, the only real friend that he had was his dog - Arrow.
En fait, son seul véritable ami était son chien - Arrow.
