How
to
get
to
Hadestown:
Comment
aller
à
Hadèsville :
You'll
have
to
take
the
long
way
down
Tu
devras
prendre
le
long
chemin
Through
the
underground,
under
cover
of
night
À
travers
le
sous-sol,
sous
le
couvert
de
la
nuit
Laying
low,
staying
out
of
sight
Te
cacher,
rester
à
l'abri
des
regards
There
ain't
no
compass,
brother,
ain't
no
map
Il
n'y
a
pas
de
boussole,
mon
frère,
pas
de
carte
Just
a
telephone
wire
and
the
railroad
track
Juste
un
fil
de
téléphone
et
la
voie
ferrée
You
keep
on
walking
and
you
don't
look
back
Tu
continues
à
marcher
et
tu
ne
regardes
pas
en
arrière
'Til
you
get
to
the
bottomland
Jusqu'à
ce
que
tu
arrives
au
fond
des
terres
Wait
for
me,
I'm
coming
Attends-moi,
j'arrive
Wait,
I'm
coming
with
you
Attends,
je
viens
avec
toi
Wait
for
me,
I'm
coming
too
Attends-moi,
j'arrive
aussi
I'm
coming
too
J'arrive
aussi
The
River
Styx
is
high
and
wide
Le
fleuve
Styx
est
large
et
profond
Cinder
bricks
and
razor
wire
Briques
de
cendre
et
barbelés
Walls
of
iron
and
concrete
Murs
de
fer
et
de
béton
Hound
dogs
howling
'round
the
gate
Chiens
de
chasse
hurlant
autour
de
la
porte
Those
dogs'll
lay
down
and
play
dead
Ces
chiens
se
coucheront
et
feront
semblant
d'être
morts
If
you
got
the
bones,
if
you
got
the
bread
Si
tu
as
les
os,
si
tu
as
le
pain
But
if
all
you
got
is
your
own
two
legs
Mais
si
tout
ce
que
tu
as,
ce
sont
tes
deux
jambes
Just
be
glad
you
got
'em
Sois
juste
content
de
les
avoir
Wait
for
me,
I'm
coming
Attends-moi,
j'arrive
Wait,
I'm
coming
with
you
Attends,
je
viens
avec
toi
Wait
for
me,
I'm
coming
too
Attends-moi,
j'arrive
aussi
I'm
coming
too
J'arrive
aussi
Who
are
you?
Qui
es-tu ?

you

you're

aller ?
Who

Qui
es-tu ?
{FATE]
{DESTIN]
Why
are
you
all
alone?
Pourquoi

tout
seul ?
Who

Qui
est-ce
que
tu-
-Think
you
are?
-Penses
être ?
Who
are
you-
Qui
es-tu-
{FATE]
{DESTIN]
-To
think
that
you
can
walk
a
road
that
no
one
ever
walked
before?
-Pour
penser
que
tu
peux
marcher
sur
un
chemin
que
personne
n'a
jamais
emprunté
avant ?

Don't

And
don't
