Lyrics and translation Jefferson Starship - Lather (Acoustic Live Version)
Lather (Acoustic Live Version)
Mousse (Version acoustique en direct)
Lather
was
thirty
years
old
today,
Lather
avait
trente
ans
aujourd'hui,
They
took
away
all
of
his
toys.
Ils
lui
ont
enlevé
tous
ses
jouets.
His
mother
sent
newspaper
clippings
to
him,
Sa
mère
lui
a
envoyé
des
coupures
de
presse,
About
his
old
friends
who'd
stopped
being
boys.
Sur
ses
vieux
amis
qui
avaient
cessé
d'être
des
garçons.
There
was
Harwitz
E.
Green,
just
turned
thirty-three,
Il
y
avait
Harwitz
E.
Green,
qui
avait
tout
juste
trente-trois
ans,
His
leather
chair
waits
at
the
bank.
Son
fauteuil
en
cuir
l'attend
à
la
banque.
And
Sergeant
Dow
Jones,
twenty-seven
years
old,
Et
le
sergent
Dow
Jones,
âgé
de
vingt-sept
ans,
Commanding
his
very
own
tank.
Commandant
son
propre
char.
But
Lather
still
finds
it
a
nice
thing
to
do,
Mais
Lather
trouve
toujours
agréable
de
faire,
To
lie
about
nude
in
the
sand,
De
se
coucher
nu
dans
le
sable,
Drawing
pictures
of
mountains
that
look
like
bumps,
Dessinant
des
images
de
montagnes
qui
ressemblent
à
des
bosses,
And
thrashing
the
air
with
his
hands.
Et
battant
l'air
de
ses
mains.
But
wait,
oh
Lather's
productive
you
know,
Mais
attends,
oh
Lather
est
productif
tu
sais,
He
produces
the
finest
of
sounds,
Il
produit
les
meilleurs
sons,
Putting
drumsticks
on
either
side
of
his
nose,
En
mettant
des
baguettes
de
chaque
côté
de
son
nez,
Snorting
the
best
licks
in
town,
Reniflant
les
meilleurs
riffs
en
ville,
But
that's
all
over...
Mais
tout
ça
est
terminé...
Lather
was
thirty
years
old
today,
Lather
avait
trente
ans
aujourd'hui,
And
Lather
came
foam
from
his
tongue.
Et
Lather
a
eu
de
la
mousse
sur
la
langue.
He
looked
at
me
eyes
wide
and
plainly
said,
Il
m'a
regardé
les
yeux
grands
ouverts
et
m'a
dit
clairement,
Is
it
true
that
I'm
no
longer
young?
Est-il
vrai
que
je
ne
suis
plus
jeune
?
And
the
children
call
him
famous,
Et
les
enfants
l'appellent
célèbre,
What
the
old
men
call
insane,
Ce
que
les
vieux
appellent
fou,
And
sometimes
he's
so
nameless,
Et
parfois
il
est
tellement
sans
nom,
That
he
hardly
knows
which
game
to
play...
Qu'il
ne
sait
presque
plus
à
quel
jeu
jouer...
Which
words
to
say...
Quels
mots
dire...
And
I
should
have
told
him,
"No,
you're
not
old."
Et
j'aurais
dû
lui
dire
: "Non,
tu
n'es
pas
vieux."
And
I
should
have
let
him
go
on...
smiling...
baby-wide.
Et
j'aurais
dû
le
laisser
partir...
souriant...
les
yeux
d'un
bébé.
