Lyrics and translation John Williamson - Raining On the Rock (with Warren H. Williams) (Live)
Pastel
red
to
burgundy
and
spinifex
to
gold,
Du
rouge
pastel
au
bordeaux,
des
spinifex
à
l'or,
We've
just
come
out
of
the
Mulga
where
the
plains
forever
roll.
On
vient
de
sortir
du
Mulga
où
les
plaines
s'étendent
à
l'infini.
And
Albert
Namatjira
has
painted
all
the
scenes,
Et
Albert
Namatjira
a
peint
toutes
les
scènes,
And
a
shower
has
changed
the
lustre
of
our
land.
Et
une
averse
a
changé
le
lustre
de
notre
terre.
And
it's
raining
on
the
Rock,
Et
il
pleut
sur
le
Rocher,
In
a
beautiful
country,
Dans
un
pays
magnifique,
And
I'm
proud
to
travel
this
big
land,
Et
je
suis
fier
de
parcourir
cette
grande
terre,
As
an
Aborigine.
En
tant
qu'Aborigène.
And
it's
raining
on
the
Rock
Et
il
pleut
sur
le
Rocher
What
an
almighty
sight
to
see,
Quel
spectacle
grandiose
à
voir,
And
I'm
wishing
and
I'm
dreaming
that
you
were
here
with
me.
Et
je
souhaite
et
je
rêve
que
tu
sois
là
avec
moi.
Everlasting
daisies
and
a
beautiful
desert
rose
Des
marguerites
éternelles
et
une
magnifique
rose
du
désert
Where
does
their
beauty
come
from
heaven
knows.
D'où
leur
beauté
vient-elle,
Dieu
seul
le
sait.
I
could
ask
the
wedge-tail
but
he's
away
too
high,
Je
pourrais
demander
au
pygargue
australien,
mais
il
est
trop
haut,
I
wonder
if
he
understands
it's
wonderful
to
fly.
Je
me
demande
s'il
comprend
que
c'est
merveilleux
de
voler.
It
cannot
be
described
with
a
picture,
On
ne
peut
pas
le
décrire
avec
une
image,
The
mesmerising
colours
of
the
Olgas.
Les
couleurs
hypnotiques
des
Olgas.
Or
the
grandeur
of
the
Rock
Ou
la
grandeur
du
Rocher
Uluru
has
power!
Uluru
a
du
pouvoir !
And
it's
raining
on
the
Rock,
Et
il
pleut
sur
le
Rocher,
In
a
beautiful
country,
Dans
un
pays
magnifique,
And
I'm
proud
to
travel
this
big
land,
Et
je
suis
fier
de
parcourir
cette
grande
terre,
As
an
Aborigine.
En
tant
qu'Aborigène.
And
it's
raining
on
the
Rock
Et
il
pleut
sur
le
Rocher
What
an
almighty
sight
to
see,
Quel
spectacle
grandiose
à
voir,
And
I'm
wishing
and
I'm
dreaming
that
you
were
here
with
me
Et
je
souhaite
et
je
rêve
que
tu
sois
là
avec
moi.
