Lyrics and translation Hothouse Flowers - Water

Water

Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah

I'm sitting, looking at this road
Looks like it's getting longer
I've been carrying a heavy load now
And I'm praying for some water
I'm looking down this road
And my heart is getting weaker
I'm down on my sore knees
And I'm praying for some water

Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah

There are storm clouds overhead
Colored thundery blue like lead
And their battering against the hill
Till the water starts to swell
I see storm clouds ahead
And what will we do then?
Build shelters from the rain
Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy rain

Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah

And it is real and it is old
And it's been flowing through my bones
They've been poisoning our streams
They're polluting all our oceans
And I hope we get to learn before
The Heaven's Gates pour open

Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah

Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah

One, two, three, four

L'eau

Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah

Je suis assis, regardant cette route
On dirait qu'elle s'allonge
Je porte un lourd fardeau depuis un moment
Et je prie pour un peu d'eau
Je regarde cette route
Et mon cœur faiblit
Je suis à genoux, les genoux endoloris
Et je prie pour un peu d'eau

Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah

Il y a des nuages d'orage au-dessus de nos têtes
Colorés d'un bleu orageux comme du plomb
Et ils frappent la colline
Jusqu'à ce que l'eau commence à gonfler
Je vois des nuages d'orage devant moi
Et que ferons-nous alors ?
Construire des abris contre la pluie
Pluie, pluie, pluie, pluie, pluie forte

Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah

Et c'est réel et c'est ancien
Et ça coule dans mes os
Ils ont empoisonné nos cours d'eau
Ils polluent tous nos océans
Et j'espère que nous apprendrons avant
Que les portes du ciel s'ouvrent

Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah

Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah, aah

Un, deux, trois, quatre
