Lyrics and translation Jeff Wayne - Dead London (Mr Joyboy remix)




Dead London (Mr Joyboy remix)
Londres Morte (Remix de Mr Joyboy)
[Journalist:] There were a dozen dead bodies in the Euston road, their bodies softened by the black dust. All was still, houses locked and empty, shops closed but looters had helped themselves to wine and food, and outside a jewellers some gold chains and a watch were scattered on the pavement.
[Journaliste :] Il y avait une douzaine de corps sans vie sur la route d'Euston, leurs corps ramollis par la poussière noire. Tout était calme, les maisons étaient fermées et vides, les magasins étaient fermés mais les pillards s'étaient servis de vin et de nourriture, et devant une bijouterie, quelques chaînes en or et une montre étaient éparpillées sur le trottoir.
[Martians:] Ulla!
[Martiens :] Ulla !
[Journalist:] I stopped, staring toward to sound. It seemed as if that mighty desert of house had found a voice for its fear and solitude.
[Journaliste :] Je me suis arrêté, regardant en direction du son. Il semblait que ce puissant désert de maisons avait trouvé une voix pour sa peur et sa solitude.
[Martians:] Ulla!
[Martiens :] Ulla !
[Journalist:] The desolating cry worked upon my mind. The wailing took possession of me. I was intensely weary, footsore, hungry and thirsty. Why was I wandering alone in this city of the dead? Why was I alive, when London in state in its black shroud? I felt intolerably lonely, drifting from street to empty street, drawn inexorably towards that cry.
[Journaliste :] Le cri désolant a travaillé sur mon esprit. Les lamentations se sont emparées de moi. J'étais intensément fatigué, les pieds endoloris, affamé et assoiffé. Pourquoi errais-je seul dans cette ville des morts ? Pourquoi étais-je en vie, alors que Londres était en état de deuil dans son linceul noir ? Je me sentais intolérablement seul, dérivant de rue en rue vide, inexorablement attiré par ce cri.
[Martians:] Ulla!
[Martiens :] Ulla !
[Journalist:] I saw, over the trees on Primrose hill, the fighting machine from which the howling came. I crossed Regents Canal. There stood a second machine, upright, but as still as the first.
[Journaliste :] J'ai vu, au-dessus des arbres de Primrose Hill, la machine de combat d'où provenait le hurlement. J'ai traversé le canal de Regent. se tenait une deuxième machine, debout, mais aussi immobile que la première.
[Martians:] Ulla! Ul-!
[Martiens :] Ulla ! Ul- !
[Journalist:] Abruptly, the sound ceased. Suddenly, the desolation, the solitude, became unendurable. While that voice sounded, London had still seemed alive. Now, suddenly, there was a change, the passing of something and all that remained was this gaunt quite.
[Journaliste :] Soudain, le son a cessé. Soudain, la désolation, la solitude, sont devenues insupportables. Tant que cette voix résonnait, Londres avait encore semblé vivante. Maintenant, soudain, il y a eu un changement, le passage de quelque chose et tout ce qui restait était ce silence maigre.
I looked up and saw a third machine. It was erect and motionless, like the others. An inane resolve possessed me. I would give my life to the Martians, here and now. I marched recklessly towards the titan and saw a multitude of black birds was circling and clustering about the hood. I began running along the road, I felt no fear, only a wild trembling exultation, as I ran up the hill towards the motionless monster. Out of the hood hung red shreds, at which the hungry birds now pecked and tore.
J'ai levé les yeux et j'ai vu une troisième machine. Elle était dressée et immobile, comme les autres. Une résolution inane s'est emparée de moi. Je donnerais ma vie aux Martiens, ici et maintenant. J'ai marché témérairement vers le titan et j'ai vu une multitude d'oiseaux noirs tournoyer et se rassembler autour du capot. J'ai commencé à courir le long de la route, je n'ai ressenti aucune peur, seulement une exaltation sauvage et tremblante, alors que je montais la colline vers le monstre immobile. Du capot pendaient des lambeaux rouges, sur lesquels les oiseaux affamés picoraient et déchiraient maintenant.
I scrambled up to the crest of Primrose Hill, and the Martians camp was below me. A mighty space it was, and scattered about it, in their overturned machines, were the Martians - [dead]... slain, after all man′s devices had failed, by the humblest things upon the Earth, Bacteria. Minute, invisible bacteria!
J'ai grimpé jusqu'au sommet de Primrose Hill, et le camp des Martiens était en contrebas. Un espace immense, et éparpillés autour de lui, dans leurs machines renversées, se trouvaient les Martiens - [morts]... tués, après que tous les dispositifs de l'homme aient échoué, par les choses les plus humbles de la Terre, les bactéries. Des bactéries microscopiques et invisibles !
Directly the invaders arrived and drank and fed, our microscopic allies attacked them. From that moment they were doomed!
Dès que les envahisseurs sont arrivés et ont bu et mangé, nos alliés microscopiques les ont attaqués. À partir de ce moment, ils étaient condamnés !
