Lyrics and translation Josephine Foster - The Golden Wooden Tone
Throw
away
my
food
Jette
ma
nourriture
And
find
a
dish
of
stone
Et
trouve
un
plat
de
pierre
Perhaps
I
would
be
fuller
Peut-être
que
je
serais
plus
rassasiée
If
I
started
at
the
bone.
Si
je
commençais
par
l'os.
Blow
away
the
leaves
Souffle
les
feuilles
The
reeds
will
cease
to
moan
Les
roseaux
cesseront
de
gémir
For
they
are
but
fetters
Car
ce
ne
sont
que
des
liens
Of
the
golden
wooden
tone!
De
la
tonalité
dorée
de
bois!
I
have
ate
the
rose,
J'ai
mangé
la
rose,
And
now
am
served
weed!
Et
maintenant
je
suis
servie
avec
de
l'herbe!
Expect
the
sun
to
treasure
dust
S'attendre
à
ce
que
le
soleil
chérisse
la
poussière
As
substitute
for
seed?
En
remplacement
de
la
graine?
But
which
will
carve
my
stomach
least
Mais
lequel
me
creusera
le
moins
l'estomac
And
paint
my
lips
the
redder?
Et
teindra
mes
lèvres
le
plus
rouge?
The
hammered
shell
or
the
underneath?
La
coquille
martelée
ou
le
dessous?
I'm
naught
to
know
what's
better!
Je
ne
sais
pas
ce
qui
est
mieux!
Oh,
I
have
ate
the
rose
Oh,
j'ai
mangé
la
rose
And
now
am
served
weed
Et
maintenant
je
suis
servie
avec
de
l'herbe
Expect
the
sun
to
treasure
dust
S'attendre
à
ce
que
le
soleil
chérisse
la
poussière
As
substitute
for
seed?
En
remplacement
de
la
graine?
