Lyrics and translation Lou Reed - Romeo Had Juliette - Live at Warner Theatre, Washington, DC 3/14/1989




Romeo Had Juliette - Live at Warner Theatre, Washington, DC 3/14/1989
Roméo avait Juliette - Live au Warner Theatre, Washington, DC 3/14/1989
Hello, hello up there
Salut, salut là-haut
Nice to see you all
Ravi de vous voir tous
Good to see you
Content de te voir
I think we're gonna spend some time together tonight
Je pense qu'on va passer du temps ensemble ce soir
I just wanna tell you how this is gonna work
Je veux juste te dire comment ça va se passer
We're gonna do the my new album, the "New York" album, from beginning to end
On va faire mon nouvel album, l'album "New York", du début à la fin
Oh, good, good
Oh, bien, bien
And then we'll take a little break and come back and play some older thing for you
Et puis on va faire une petite pause et revenir jouer quelques trucs plus anciens pour toi
And this is called "Romeo Had Juliette"
Et ça s'appelle "Roméo avait Juliette"
One, two, three, four
Un, deux, trois, quatre
Caught between the twisted stars, the plotted lines, the faulty map
Pris entre les étoiles tordues, les lignes tracées, la carte défectueuse
That brought Columbus to New York
Qui a amené Christophe Colomb à New York
Betwixt between the East and West, he comes to her wearing a leather vest
Entre l'Est et l'Ouest, il vient à elle portant un gilet en cuir
The earth squeals and shudders to a halt
La terre grince et tremble jusqu'à l'arrêt
A diamond crucifix in his ear is used to help ward off the fear
Un crucifix en diamant à son oreille sert à conjurer la peur
That he has lost his soul in someone's rented car
Qu'il a perdu son âme dans la voiture louée de quelqu'un
Inside his pants, he hides a mop to clean the mess that he has dropped
Dans son pantalon, il cache une serpillière pour nettoyer le désordre qu'il a fait tomber
Into the life of lithesome Juliette Bell
Dans la vie de la souple Juliette Bell
And Romeo wanted Juliette
Et Roméo voulait Juliette
And Juliette wanted her Romeo
Et Juliette voulait son Roméo
And Romeo wanted Juliette
Et Roméo voulait Juliette
And Juliette wanted her Romeo
Et Juliette voulait son Roméo
Romeo Rodriguez squares his shoulders and curses Jesus
Roméo Rodriguez se redresse et maudit Jésus
Runs his hand through his black pony-tail
Passe sa main dans sa queue de cheval noire
He's looking 'round his dirty room, the sink nearby the bed gives off a stink
Il regarde autour de sa chambre sale, l'évier près du lit dégage une odeur
Then he smells her perfume in his eye, voice's like a bell
Puis il sent son parfum dans son œil, sa voix est comme une cloche
Outside the streets are steaming, the crack dealers are dreaming
Dehors, les rues fument, les dealers de crack rêvent
Of an Uzi, someone had just scored
D'une Uzi, quelqu'un vient de marquer un coup
I betcha I could hit that light with my one good arm behind my back
Je parie que je pourrais toucher cette lumière avec mon seul bon bras derrière mon dos
Says little Joey Diaz
Dit le petit Joey Diaz
Hey, brother, give me another tote, you know those downtown hoods are no damn good
Hé, frère, donne-moi un autre sac, tu sais que ces voyous du centre-ville ne sont pas bons
Those Italians need a lesson to be taught
Ces Italiens ont besoin d'une leçon à apprendre
That cop who died in Harlem, I hope he got the warnin'
Ce flic qui est mort à Harlem, j'espère qu'il a eu l'avertissement
I was laughing when his brains run in the street
Je riais quand ses cerveaux ont coulé dans la rue
And Romeo wanted Juliette
Et Roméo voulait Juliette
And Juliette wanted her Romeo
Et Juliette voulait son Roméo
And Romeo wanted Juliette
Et Roméo voulait Juliette
And Juliette wanted her Romeo
Et Juliette voulait son Roméo
I'll take Manhattan in a garbage bag with Latin written on it, that says
Je prendrai Manhattan dans un sac poubelle avec du latin écrit dessus, qui dit
"It's hard to give a shit these days"
“C’est dur de s’en foutre ces jours-ci"
Manhattan's sinking like a rock, into the filthy Hudson, what a shock
Manhattan coule comme une pierre, dans le sale Hudson, quel choc
They wrote a book about it, they said it's like ancient Rome
Ils ont écrit un livre à ce sujet, ils ont dit que c'est comme la Rome antique
The perfume burned his eye
Le parfum lui brûlait les yeux
Holding gently to his thighs
Tenant ses cuisses doucement
And something flickered for a minute
Et quelque chose a vacillé pendant une minute
Then it vanished and was gone
Puis il a disparu et s'est envolé
