Lyrics and translation Lou Reed - Romeo Had Juliette - Single Version




Romeo Had Juliette - Single Version
Roméo avait Juliette - Version single
Caught between the twisted stars
Pris entre les étoiles tordues
The plotted lines, the faulty map
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
Entre l'Est et l'Ouest
He calls on her wearing a leather vest
Il l'appelle en portant un gilet en cuir
The earth squeals and shudders to a halt
La terre couine et tremble jusqu'à l'arrêt
A diamond crucifix in his ear
Un crucifix en diamant à son oreille
Is used to help ward off the fear
Est utilisé pour aider à conjurer la peur
That he has left his soul in someone's rented car
Qu'il a laissé son âme dans la voiture louée de quelqu'un
Inside his pants, he hides a mop
Dans son pantalon, il cache une serpillère
To clean the mess that he has dropped
Pour nettoyer le gâchis qu'il a laissé 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 Romeo
Et Juliette voulait Roméo
And Romeo wanted Juliette
Et Roméo voulait Juliette
And Juliette wanted Romeo
Et Juliette voulait Roméo
Romeo Rodriguez squares
Roméo Rodriguez carrée
His shoulders and curses Jesus
Ses épaules et maudit Jésus
Runs a comb through his black ponytail
Passe un peigne à travers sa queue de cheval noire
He's thinking of his lonely room
Il pense à sa chambre solitaire
The sink that by his bed gives off a stink
L'évier qui près de son lit dégage une puanteur
Then smells her perfume in his eyes
Puis il sent son parfum dans ses yeux
And her voice was like a bell
Et sa voix était comme une cloche
Outside, the streets were steaming
Dehors, les rues fumaient
The crack dealers were dreaming
Les trafiquants de crack rêvaient
Of an Uzi, someone had just scored
D'une Uzi, quelqu'un venait de marquer
"I betcha I could hit that light
Je parie que je pourrais atteindre cette lumière
With my one good arm behind my back"
Avec mon seul bon bras derrière mon dos
Says little Joey Diaz
Dit le petit Joey Diaz
Brother, give me another toke
Frère, donne-moi une autre bouffée
Those downtown hoods are no damn good
Ces voyous du centre-ville ne sont pas bons du tout
Those Italians need a lesson to be taught
Ces Italiens ont besoin d'une leçon à apprendre
This cop who died in Harlem
Ce flic qui est mort à Harlem
You think they'd get the warning
Tu penses qu'ils recevraient l'avertissement
I was dancing when I saw his brains run out on the street
Je dansais quand j'ai vu ses cerveaux couler dans la rue
And Romeo had Juliette
Et Roméo avait Juliette
And Juliette had her Romeo
Et Juliette avait son Roméo
And Romeo had Juliette
Et Roméo avait Juliette
And Juliette had her Romeo
Et Juliette avait son Roméo
I'll take Manhattan in a garbage bag
Je prendrai Manhattan dans un sac poubelle
With Latin written on it, that says
Avec du latin écrit dessus, qui dit
"It's hard to give a damn these days"
« C'est difficile de s'en foutre de nos jours »
Manhattan's sinking like a rock
Manhattan coule comme une pierre
Into the filthy Hudson what a shock
Dans le sale Hudson, quelle surprise
They wrote a book about it
Ils ont écrit un livre à ce sujet
They said it was like ancient Rome
Ils ont dit que c'était comme la Rome antique
The perfume burned his eyes
Le parfum lui brûlait les yeux
Holding tightly to her thighs
Tenant fermement ses cuisses
And something flickered for a minute
Et quelque chose a scintillé pendant une minute
And then it vanished and was gone
Puis il a disparu et s'est envolé
