Lyrics and translation John Denver - The Box - Remastered




The Box - Remastered
La Boîte - Remasterisée
Once upon a time in the land of hushabye
Il était une fois, dans le pays du dodo
In the woundrous days of yore
Dans les jours merveilleux d'antan
They came upon this kind of box
Ils sont tombés sur ce genre de boîte
All bound with chains and locked with locks
Tout lié avec des chaînes et verrouillé avec des serrures
And labelled "kindly do not Touch, it's WAR"
Et étiqueté "S'il te plaît, ne touche pas, c'est la GUERRE"
Decree was issued round about
Un décret a été publié partout
All with a flourish and a shout
Tout avec une flouriture et un cri
And gayley colored mascots trippling lightly on the fore
Et des mascottes gaiement colorées tripotent légèrement sur le devant
"Do not tamper with this deadly box"
"Ne brise pas les chaînes ou ne force pas les serrures"
"Don"t break the chains or pick the locks"
"Ne joue pas avec la guerre"
"Please don't ever play about with war"
"S'il te plaît, ne joue jamais avec la guerre"
Well the children understood
Eh bien, les enfants ont compris
Children happen to be good
Les enfants sont bons
And they were just as around the time of yore
Et ils étaient juste comme au temps d'antan
They didn't try to break the chains or pick the locks
Ils n'ont pas essayé de briser les chaînes ou de forcer les serrures
They didn't play about with war
Ils n'ont pas joué avec la guerre
Mommies didn't either
Les mamans non plus
Sisters aunts grannies neither
Les sœurs, les tantes, les grand-mères non plus
They were quiet and sweet and pretty in those wondrous days of yore
Elles étaient calmes, douces et jolies dans ces jours merveilleux d'antan
Fairley much the same as now
À peu près les mêmes que maintenant
Not the ones to blame somehow
Pas celles à blâmer d'une certaine manière
For opning up that deadly box of war.
Pour avoir ouvert cette boîte mortelle de la guerre.
But someone did,
Mais quelqu'un l'a fait,
Someone battered in the lid
Quelqu'un a enfoncé le couvercle
And spilled the insides out across the floor
Et a répandu le contenu sur le sol
A Kind of bouncy bumpy ball, filled with guns and flags and all the tears and
Une sorte de boule rebondissante et cahoteuse, remplie de fusils et de drapeaux et toutes les larmes et
Horror and death, that goes with war.
L'horreur et la mort, qui vont avec la guerre.
It bounced right out and went crashing all about
Elle a rebondi et s'est écrasée partout
And bumping into everything in store
Et a heurté tout ce qui était en magasin
And what was sad and most unfair
Et ce qui était triste et le plus injuste
Is that it didn't really seem to care much who it bumped
C'est qu'elle ne semblait pas vraiment se soucier de qui elle heurtait
Or why, or what, or for.
Ou pourquoi, ou quoi, ou pour.
It bumped the children mainly
Elle a surtout heurté les enfants
And I'll tell you this quite plainly
Et je te le dis clairement
It bumps them evry day and more, and more
Elle les heurte chaque jour de plus en plus
And leaves them dead and burned and dying
Et les laisse morts, brûlés et mourants
Thousands of them sick and crying
Des milliers d'entre eux malades et pleurant
Cos when it bumps
Parce que quand elle heurte
Its really very sore
Elle est vraiment très endolorie
Now theres a way to stop the ball
Maintenant, il y a un moyen d'arrêter la balle
It isn't difficult at all
Ce n'est pas du tout difficile
All it takes is wisdom
Tout ce qu'il faut, c'est de la sagesse
And I'm absolutley sure
Et j'en suis absolument sûr
We can get the ball back in the box
On peut remettre la balle dans la boîte
And bind the chains
Et lier les chaînes
And lock the locks
Et verrouiller les serrures
No one seems to want to save the children any more
Personne ne semble vouloir sauver les enfants plus
Well thats the way it all appears
Eh bien, c'est comme ça que tout apparaît
That balls been bouncing round for years and years
Cette balle rebondit depuis des années et des années
In spite of all the wisdom whiz since those wondrous days of yore
Malgré toute la sagesse qui existe depuis ces jours merveilleux d'antan
When they came upon this kind of box
Quand ils sont tombés sur ce genre de boîte
All bound with chains and locked with locks
Tout lié avec des chaînes et verrouillé avec des serrures
And labelled "Kindly do not touch"
Et étiqueté "S'il te plaît, ne touche pas"
"ITS WAR"
"C'EST LA GUERRE"
