Lyrics and translation Jeff Wayne - Forever Autumn (Early Version)




Forever Autumn (Early Version)
Automne éternel (Version initiale)
[Journalist:] For three days I fought my way along roads packed with refugees, the homeless, burdened with boxes and bundles containing their valuables. All that was of value to me was in London. By the time I reached their little red brick house, Carrie and her father were gone.
[Journaliste:] Pendant trois jours, j'ai lutté sur des routes bondées de réfugiés, de sans-abri, chargés de boîtes et de ballots contenant leurs biens précieux. Tout ce qui avait de la valeur à mes yeux était à Londres. Lorsque j'ai atteint leur petite maison de briques rouges, Carrie et son père étaient partis.
The summer sun is fading as the year grows old,
Le soleil d'été s'estompe à mesure que l'année vieillit,
And darker days are drawing near,
Et les jours sombres approchent,
The winter winds will be much colder,
Les vents d'hiver seront bien plus froids,
Now you′re not here
Maintenant que tu n'es plus là.
I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky,
Je regarde les oiseaux voler vers le sud à travers le ciel d'automne,
And one by one they disappear,
Et un par un, ils disparaissent,
I wish that I was flying with them,
J'aimerais pouvoir m'envoler avec eux,
Now you're not here
Maintenant que tu n'es plus là.
Like the sun through the trees you came to love me,
Comme le soleil à travers les arbres, tu es venue m'aimer,
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away
Comme une feuille dans la brise, tu t'es envolée.
Through autumn′s golden gown we used to kick our way,
À travers la robe dorée de l'automne, nous avions l'habitude de nous frayer un chemin,
You always loved this time of year,
Tu as toujours aimé cette période de l'année,
Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now,
Ces feuilles mortes reposent intactes maintenant,
'Cause you're not here
Car tu n'es plus là.
′Cause you′re not here
Car tu n'es plus là.
'Cause you′re not here
Car tu n'es plus là.
[Journalist:] Fire suddenly leapt from house to house, the population panicked and ran and I was swept along with them, aimless and lost without Carrie. Finally I headed eastward for the ocean, and my only hope of survival: A boat out of England.
[Journaliste:] Le feu sauta soudain de maison en maison, la population paniqua, courut et je fus emporté avec elle, sans but et perdu sans Carrie. Finalement, je me suis dirigé vers l'est, vers l'océan, et mon seul espoir de survie : un bateau en provenance d'Angleterre.
Like the sun through the trees you came to love me,
Comme le soleil à travers les arbres, tu es venue m'aimer,
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away
Comme une feuille dans la brise, tu t'es envolée.
A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes,
Une douce pluie tombe doucement sur mes yeux fatigués,
As if to hide a lonely tear,
Comme pour cacher une larme solitaire,
My life will be forever autumn,
Ma vie sera un automne éternel,
'Cause you′re not here
Car tu n'es plus là.
'Cause you′re not here
Car tu n'es plus là.
'Cause you're not here
Car tu n'es plus là.
[Journalist:] As I hastened through Covent Garden, Blackfriars and Billingsgate, more and more people joined the painful exodus. Sad, weary women, their children stumbling and streaked with tears, their men bitter and angry, the rich rubbing shoulder with beggars and outcasts. Dogs snarled and whined, the horses′ bits were covered with foam... and here and there were wounded soldiers, as helpless as the rest. We saw tripods wading up the Thames, cutting through bridges as though they were paper - Waterloo Bridge, Westminster Bridge... One appeared above Big Ben.
[Journaliste:] Alors que je me hâtais à travers Covent Garden, Blackfriars et Billingsgate, de plus en plus de gens rejoignaient le douloureux exode. Des femmes tristes et lasses, leurs enfants trébuchant et striés de larmes, leurs hommes amers et en colère, les riches côtoyant les mendiants et les parias. Les chiens grognaient et gémissaient, les mors des chevaux étaient couverts de mousse... et çà et là, il y avait des soldats blessés, aussi impuissants que les autres. Nous avons vu des tripodes patauger dans la Tamise, coupant à travers les ponts comme s'ils étaient en papier - le pont de Waterloo, le pont de Westminster... L'un d'eux est apparu au-dessus de Big Ben.
[Martians:] Ulla!
[Martiens:] Ulla!
[Journalist:] Never before in the history of the world had such a mass of human beings moved and suffered together. This was no disciplined march, it was a stampede, without order and without a goal, six million people, unarmed and unprovisioned, driving headlong. It was the beginning of the rout of civilization, of the massacre of mankind.
[Journaliste:] Jamais auparavant dans l'histoire du monde une telle masse d'êtres humains ne s'était déplacée et n'avait souffert ensemble. Ce n'était pas une marche disciplinée, c'était une débandade, sans ordre et sans but, six millions de personnes, sans armes et sans provisions, fonçant tête baissée. C'était le début de la débâcle de la civilisation, du massacre de l'humanité.
A vast crowd buffeted me toward the already packed steamer. I looked up enviously at those safely on board - straight into the eyes of my beloved Carrie! At sight of me she began to fight her way along the packed deck to the gangplank. At that very moment it was raised, and I caught a last glimpse of her despairing face as the crowd swept me away from her.
Une foule immense me poussa vers le bateau à vapeur déjà bondé. Je levai les yeux avec envie vers ceux qui étaient en sécurité à bord - droit dans les yeux de ma bien-aimée Carrie ! En me voyant, elle commença à se frayer un chemin à travers le pont bondé jusqu'à la passerelle. À ce moment précis, on la leva, et je pus apercevoir une dernière fois son visage désespéré tandis que la foule m'éloignait d'elle.
Like the sun through the trees you came to love me,
Comme le soleil à travers les arbres, tu es venue m'aimer,
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away
Comme une feuille dans la brise, tu t'es envolée.
Through autumn′s golden gown we used to kick our way,
À travers la robe dorée de l'automne, nous avions l'habitude de nous frayer un chemin,
You always loved this time of year,
Tu as toujours aimé cette période de l'année,
Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now,
Ces feuilles mortes reposent intactes maintenant,
'Cause you′re not here
Car tu n'es plus là.
'Cause you′re not here
Car tu n'es plus là.
'Cause you′re not here
Car tu n'es plus là.
[Martians:] Ulla!
[Martiens:] Ulla!
[Journalist:] The steamer began to move slowly away but on the landward horizon appeared the silhouette of a fighting machine. Another came, and another, striding over hills and plunging far out to sea and blocking the exit of the steamer. Between them lay the silent, grey Ironclad "Thunder Child". Slowly it moved towards shore; then, with a deafening roar and whoosh of spray, it swung about and drove at full speed towards the waiting Martians.
[Journaliste:] Le bateau à vapeur commença à s'éloigner lentement, mais à l'horizon, du côté de la terre, apparut la silhouette d'une machine de guerre. Une autre arriva, puis une autre, enjambant les collines et plongeant loin en mer, bloquant la sortie du bateau à vapeur. Entre les deux se trouvait le cuirassé gris et silencieux "Thunder Child". Lentement, il se dirigea vers le rivage, puis, dans un rugissement assourdissant et un jet d'écume, il fit demi-tour et fonça à toute vitesse vers les Martiens qui l'attendaient.
