The NIght Watch - Live in Glasgow Apollo: October 23rd, 1973)
La Garde Nocturne - En Direct de l'Apollo de Glasgow : 23 octobre 1973)
Shine, shine, the light of good works shine
Brille, brille, la lumière des bonnes œuvres brille
The watch before the city gates depicted in their prime
La garde devant les portes de la ville, représentée dans leur apogée
The golden light all grimy now
La lumière dorée, maintenant toute sale
300 years have passed
300 ans se sont écoulés
The worthy captain and his squad of troopers standing fast
Le digne capitaine et son escadron de soldats, debout fermement
The artist knew their faces well
L'artiste connaissait bien leurs visages
Husbands of his lady friends
Les maris de ses amies
His creditors and councillors
Ses créanciers et ses conseillers
In armour bright, the merchant men
En armures brillantes, les marchands
Official moments of the guild
Moments officiels de la guilde
In poses keen from bygone days
Dans des poses vives d'antan
City fathers frozen there
Les pères de la ville figés
Upon the canvas dark with age
Sur la toile sombre avec l'âge
The smell of paint, a flask of wine
L'odeur de la peinture, une fiole de vin
Turn those faces all to me
Tourne tous ces visages vers moi
Blunderbuss and halberd-shaft
Brousserolles et hampe de hallebarde
Dutch respectability
Respectabilité hollandaise
They make their enter to, one by one
Ils font leur entrée, un par un
Defenders of that way of life
Défenseurs de ce mode de vie
Redbrick home, the bourgeoisie
Maison en briques rouges, la bourgeoisie
Guitar lessons for the wife
Leçons de guitare pour la femme
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
So many years we suffered here
Pendant tant d'années, nous avons souffert ici
Our country racked with Spanish wars
Notre pays déchiré par les guerres espagnoles
Now comes a chance to find ourselves
Maintenant vient une chance de nous retrouver
Quiet reigns behind our doors
Le calme règne derrière nos portes
Think about posterity again
Repense à la postérité encore une fois
So the pride of little men
Alors la fierté des petits hommes
The burghers good and true
Les bourgeois bons et vrais
Still living through the painter's hands
Vivant toujours à travers les mains du peintre
Request you all to understand
Je vous demande à tous de comprendre
