Lyrics and translation Laurie Anderson - The Big Top
When
Buckminster
Fuller
came
to
Canada,
he
kept
asking
the
same
question:
Quand
Buckminster
Fuller
est
arrivé
au
Canada,
il
n'arrêtait
pas
de
poser
la
même
question:
"Have
you
ever
really
considered
how
much
your
buildings
weigh?"
"As-tu
déjà
vraiment
considéré
combien
pèsent
tes
bâtiments
?"
The
Canadians
took
this
very
seriously.
(Hey,
we
never
thought
of
that!)
Les
Canadiens
ont
pris
cela
très
au
sérieux.
(Hé,
on
n'y
avait
jamais
pensé
!)
He
showed
them
plans
for
domed
cities,
cities
with
no
basements,
no
foundations.
Il
leur
a
montré
des
plans
pour
des
villes
en
forme
de
dôme,
des
villes
sans
sous-sols,
sans
fondations.
Cities
that
could
be
moved
in
a
minute.
Des
villes
qui
pourraient
être
déplacées
en
une
minute.
Portable
cities.
Des
villes
portables.
Portable
towns.
Des
villes
portables.
He
said;
Il
a
dit
;
Think
of
it
as
camping
out.
Imagine
ça
comme
du
camping.
Think
of
it
as
one
big
tent.
Imagine
ça
comme
une
grande
tente.
He
said:
Il
a
dit:
Think
of
it
as
Imagine
ça
comme
The
Big
Top
...
spinning
...
lightweight
...
portable.
Le
Grand
Chapiteau
...
qui
tourne
...
léger
...
portable.
