Lyrics and translation Icon feat. John Wetton & Geoff Downes - Spread Your Wings

Spread Your Wings

Sammy was low,
Just watching the show
Over and over again.
He knew it was time,
He'd made up his mind
To leave his dead life behind.

His boss said to him
"Boy, you'd better begin
To get those crazy notions
Right out of your head
Sammy who do you think that you are?
You should've been sweeping,
At the emerald bar"

Spread your wings and fly away,
Fly away, far away.
Spread your little wings and fly away
Fly away, far away.

Pull yourself together,
'Cause you know you should do better,
That's because you're a free man.

He spends his evenings alone,
In his hotelroom.
Keeping his thoughts to himself,
He'd be leaving soon.
Wishing he was miles and miles away,
Nothing in this world, nothing,
Would make him stay.

Since he was small,
Had no luck at all,
Nothing came easy to him.
Now it was time,
He'd made up his mind,
"This could be my last change"

His boss said to him
"Now listen boy! you're always dreaming,
You've got no real ambition,
You won't get worried for.
Sammy, boy don't you know who you are?
Why can't you be happy
At the emerald bar?"

So honey spread your wings and fly away,
Fly away, far away.
Spread your little wings and fly away,
Fly away, far away.

Pull yourself together,
'Cause you know you should do better,
That's because you're a free man.
Come on honey fly with me...

Etends tes ailes

Sammy était bas,
Il regardait simplement le spectacle
Encore et encore.
Il savait que c'était le moment,
Il avait pris sa décision
De laisser derrière lui sa vie morte.

Son patron lui a dit
"Mon garçon, tu ferais mieux de commencer
À sortir ces idées folles
De ta tête
Sammy, qui penses-tu être ?
Tu aurais dû balayer,
Au bar émeraude"

Etends tes ailes et vole,
Vole, vole loin.
Etends tes petites ailes et vole,
Vole, vole loin.

Reprends-toi,
Parce que tu sais que tu devrais faire mieux,
Parce que tu es un homme libre.

Il passe ses soirées seul,
Dans sa chambre d'hôtel.
Gardant ses pensées pour lui,
Il partirait bientôt.
Il souhaitait être à des kilomètres et des kilomètres,
Rien au monde, rien,
Ne le ferait rester.

Depuis qu'il était petit,
Il n'a pas eu de chance du tout,
Rien ne lui était facile.
Maintenant c'était le moment,
Il avait pris sa décision,
"Ce pourrait être ma dernière chance"

Son patron lui a dit
"Maintenant écoute mon garçon ! Tu rêves toujours,
Tu n'as aucune vraie ambition,
Tu ne seras pas inquiété pour.
Sammy, mon garçon, tu ne sais pas qui tu es ?
Pourquoi ne peux-tu pas être heureux
Au bar émeraude ?"

Alors mon cœur, écarte tes ailes et vole,
Vole, vole loin.
Etends tes petites ailes et vole,
Vole, vole loin.

Reprends-toi,
Parce que tu sais que tu devrais faire mieux,
Parce que tu es un homme libre.
Allez mon cœur, vole avec moi...
