Lyrics and translation John Adams feat. Edo de Waart & Orchestra of St. Luke's - Adams: Nixon in China, Act I, Scene 1: "Soldiers of Heaven Hold the Sky"




Adams: Nixon in China, Act I, Scene 1: "Soldiers of Heaven Hold the Sky"
Adams: Nixon en Chine, Acte I, Scène 1: "Les soldats du ciel tiennent le ciel"
Soldiers of heaven hold the sky,
Les soldats du ciel tiennent le ciel,
The morning breaks and shadows fly.
Le matin se lève et les ombres fuient.
Follow the orders of the poor,
Suivez les ordres des pauvres,
Your master is the laborer
Votre maître est l'ouvrier
Who rules the world with truth and grace.
Qui gouverne le monde avec vérité et grâce.
Deal with him justly, face to face,
Traitez-le avec justice, face à face,
Pay a fair price for all you buy,
Payez un prix juste pour tout ce que vous achetez,
Pay to replace what you destroy.
Payez pour remplacer ce que vous détruisez.
Divide the landlord's property,
Divisez la propriété du propriétaire terrien,
Take nothing from the tenantry,
Ne prenez rien aux fermiers,
Do not mistreat the captive foe.
Ne maltraitez pas l'ennemi captif.
Respect women, it is their due
Respectez les femmes, c'est leur
Replace doors when you leave a house.
Remplacez les portes lorsque vous quittez une maison.
Roll up straw matting after use.
Roulez le paillasson après utilisation.
