Lyrics and translation Mark Anthony feat. Rubén Blades - Time Is an Ocean




Time Is an Ocean
Le Temps est un Océan
I speak to you in Jesus's name
Je te parle au nom de Jésus
As Jesus speaks through me,
Comme Jésus parle à travers moi,
The evil we do can't be blamed upon our destiny
Le mal que nous faisons ne peut pas être imputé à notre destin
I have walked through the valley of death-row to the shore
J'ai marché dans la vallée de la mort jusqu'au rivage
I have stumbled through silvery water to my savior, my Salvador!
J'ai trébuché dans l'eau argentée jusqu'à mon sauveur, mon Salvador !
It took me four years to learn
Il m'a fallu quatre ans pour apprendre
I was in prison not in church.
Que j'étais en prison et non à l'église.
And two more to begin the book of my soul's search.
Et deux de plus pour commencer le livre de la recherche de mon âme.
Time is an ocean of endless tears
Le temps est un océan de larmes sans fin
A wild boy from the streets of El Barrio
Un garçon sauvage des rues d'El Barrio
An orphan from the hills of Mayagьez
Un orphelin des collines de Mayagüez
And when I wrote my story
Et quand j'ai écrit mon histoire
The words flew from the page
Les mots ont jailli de la page
And my soul in solitary
Et mon âme en solitaire
Escaped its iron cage.
S'est échappée de sa cage de fer.
Time is an ocean of endless tears
Le temps est un océan de larmes sans fin
Mama, I got your letter today
Maman, j'ai reçu ta lettre aujourd'hui
The next time that you write I'll be transferred far away.
La prochaine fois que tu écriras, je serai transféré loin.
I'm leaving Greenhaven's towers of stone
Je quitte les tours de pierre de Greenhaven
Where the Latin population will soon be minus one.
la population latino sera bientôt réduite d'une unité.
Time is an ocean of endless tears.
Le temps est un océan de larmes sans fin.
I know how hard it's been for you these many years,
Je sais combien cela a été difficile pour toi pendant toutes ces années,
You say the Aguinaldo makes you dream of home
Tu dis que l'Aguinaldo te fait rêver de chez toi
Where once we strolled the beach at El Malecon
autrefois nous nous promenions sur la plage à El Malecon
Go back don't you worry, I am your grown-up son.
Retourne, ne t'inquiète pas, je suis ton fils adulte.
The politics of prison are a mirror of the street.
La politique de la prison est un miroir de la rue.
The poor endure oppression
Les pauvres endurent l'oppression
The police control the state.
La police contrôle l'état.
Correctional facility
Établissement correctionnel
That's what they call this place
C'est comme ça qu'ils appellent cet endroit
But look around and you will see
Mais regardez autour de vous et vous verrez
The politics of race.
La politique de la race.
A forest and a prison
Une forêt et une prison
Where the snow and guards are white
la neige et les gardes sont blancs
If you want to keep your sanity
Si vous voulez garder votre santé mentale
You'll teach yourself to write.
Vous apprendrez à écrire.
You were a child of sixteen
Tu étais un enfant de seize ans
With a twelve-year-old mind
Avec un esprit de douze ans
You came here numb and battered
Tu es arrivé ici engourdi et abattu
By the streets I left behind
Par les rues que j'ai laissées derrière moi
I'll take the evil in me
Je prendrai le mal qui est en moi
And turn it into good,
Et je le transformerai en bien,
Though all your institutions
Même si toutes vos institutions
Never thought I could
N'ont jamais pensé que je le pourrais
So now I'll turn to say goodbye
Alors maintenant, je me retourne pour dire au revoir
I'll keep your image in my eye
Je garderai ton image dans mon œil
I turn around to say goodbye
Je me retourne pour dire au revoir
I'll keep your image with me till the day I die
Je garderai ton image avec moi jusqu'au jour de ma mort
Time is an ocean of endless tears
Le temps est un océan de larmes sans fin
