Lyrics and translation June Tabor - Behind the Wall
Last
night
I
heard
the
screaming
Hier
soir,
j'ai
entendu
les
cris
Loud
voices
behind
the
wall
Des
voix
fortes
derrière
le
mur
Another
sleepless
night
for
me
Encore
une
nuit
blanche
pour
moi
It
won't
do
no
good
to
call
Appeler
ne
servira
à
rien
The
police
always
come
late
La
police
arrive
toujours
en
retard
If
they
come
at
all
S'ils
arrivent
du
tout
And
when
they
arrive
Et
quand
ils
arrivent
They
say
they
can't
interfere
Ils
disent
qu'ils
ne
peuvent
pas
intervenir
With
domestic
affairs
Dans
les
affaires
domestiques
Between
a
man
and
his
wife
Entre
un
homme
et
sa
femme
And
as
they
walk
out
the
door
Et
alors
qu'ils
sortent
par
la
porte
The
tears
well
up
in
her
eyes
Les
larmes
montent
dans
ses
yeux
Last
night
I
heard
the
screaming
Hier
soir,
j'ai
entendu
les
cris
Then
a
silence
that
chilled
my
soul
Puis
un
silence
qui
m'a
glacé
l'âme
I
prayed
that
I
was
dreaming
J'ai
prié
pour
rêver
When
I
saw
the
ambulance
in
the
road
Quand
j'ai
vu
l'ambulance
sur
la
route
And
the
policeman
said
Et
le
policier
a
dit
"I'm
here
to
keep
the
peace
« Je
suis
là
pour
maintenir
la
paix
Will
the
crowd
disperse
La
foule
va-t-elle
se
disperser
I
think
we
all
could
use
some
sleep"
Je
pense
que
nous
pourrions
tous
utiliser
un
peu
de
sommeil
