Lyrics and translation Josh Ritter - Birds of the Meadow

Birds of the Meadow

Birds Of The Meadow-Josh Ritter
I didn't come to ask you
How you're doing these days.
Didn't come to roll no stones away, no.
I've come to tell you
That the end is nigh.
I've come to prophesize.
You wanted a messenger and I am thee,
Your heebie-jeebie man, in ecstasy.
But my eyes are blazing
And I'm mental dark.
You better hark.
Fire is coming, fire is coming.
Birds of the meadow,
Birds of the meadow.
Fire is coming, fire is coming.
Birds of the meadow,
Birds of the meadow.
Honey, I'm a wild one
And I'm dressed in rags.
I roll you over,
Turn your bedside up, yeah.
Before the whole thing's over,
You're gonna shout my name.
I don't care if you believe me.
Fire is coming, fire is coming.
Birds of the meadow,
Birds of the meadow.
Fire is coming, fire is coming.
Birds of the meadow,
Birds of the meadow.
Fire is coming, fire is coming.
Birds of the meadow,
Birds of the meadow.
Fire is coming, fire is coming.
Birds of the meadow,
Birds of the meadow.

Oiseaux des prairies

Oiseaux des prairies - Josh Ritter
Je ne suis pas venu te demander
Comment tu vas ces jours-ci.
Je ne suis pas venu rouler de pierres, non.
Je suis venu te dire
Que la fin est proche.
Je suis venu prophétiser.
Tu voulais un messager et je suis celui-là,
Ton homme qui te donne des frissons, en extase.
Mais mes yeux sont enflammés
Et je suis mentalement sombre.
Tu ferais mieux d'écouter.
Le feu arrive, le feu arrive.
Oiseaux des prairies,
Oiseaux des prairies.
Le feu arrive, le feu arrive.
Oiseaux des prairies,
Oiseaux des prairies.
Chérie, je suis un sauvage
Et je suis habillé de guenilles.
Je te fais rouler,
Je tourne ton chevet, oui.
Avant que tout soit fini,
Tu vas crier mon nom.
Je m'en fiche que tu me croies.
Le feu arrive, le feu arrive.
Oiseaux des prairies,
Oiseaux des prairies.
Le feu arrive, le feu arrive.
Oiseaux des prairies,
Oiseaux des prairies.
Le feu arrive, le feu arrive.
Oiseaux des prairies,
Oiseaux des prairies.
Le feu arrive, le feu arrive.
Oiseaux des prairies,
Oiseaux des prairies.
