Lyrics and translation Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Grief Came Riding (Single)
A
grief
came
riding
Un
chagrin
est
venu
à
cheval
On
the
wind
Sur
le
vent
Up
the
sun
on
river
Thames
Au-dessus
du
soleil
sur
la
Tamise
I
was
sittin'
on
the
bank
with
my
mouth
open
J'étais
assis
sur
la
berge,
la
bouche
ouverte
When
I
felt
it
entering
Quand
je
l'ai
senti
entrer
I
began
thinkin'
about
our
wedding
day
J'ai
commencé
à
penser
à
notre
jour
de
mariage
And
how
love
was
a
vow
Et
à
quel
point
l'amour
était
un
vœu
I
was
thinkin'
about
the
chamber
door
Je
pensais
à
la
porte
de
la
chambre
Only
we
can
enter
now
Que
nous
seuls
pouvons
maintenant
entrer
I
began
thinkin'
about
our
ancient
friends
J'ai
commencé
à
penser
à
nos
vieux
amis
And
of
kissin'
them
goodbye
Et
à
les
embrasser
au
revoir
And
then
the
wind
blew
under
Battersea
bridge
Et
puis
le
vent
a
soufflé
sous
le
pont
de
Battersea
And
a
tear
broke
from
my
eye
Et
une
larme
a
coulé
de
mon
œil
I
started
thinkin'
about
London
J'ai
commencé
à
penser
à
Londres
And
nothing
good
ever
came
from
this
town
Et
rien
de
bon
n'est
jamais
venu
de
cette
ville
And
if
the
Thames
weren't
so
filthy
Et
si
la
Tamise
n'était
pas
si
sale
I
would
jump
in
the
river
and
drown
Je
sauterais
dans
la
rivière
et
me
noierais
Don't
be
afraid
N'aie
pas
peur
Come
on
down
Viens
ici
I'm
just
sittin'
here
Je
suis
juste
assis
ici
Thinking
loud
À
penser
à
voix
haute
Now
look
there
just
blow
the
water
Maintenant
regarde,
il
suffit
de
souffler
l'eau
See
the
saviour
of
the
human
race
Tu
vois
le
sauveur
de
la
race
humaine
Where
the
fishes
and
the
frogs
Là
où
les
poissons
et
les
grenouilles
Has
found
his
final
resting
place
Ont
trouvé
leur
dernier
lieu
de
repos
Blowin'
people
far
apart
Souffler
les
gens
loin
l'un
de
l'autre
Blowin'
others
so
they
collide
Souffler
les
autres
pour
qu'ils
entrent
en
collision
Blowin'
some
poor
bastard
right
out
of
the
water
Souffler
un
pauvre
type
hors
de
l'eau
Blowin'
another
one
over
the
side
Souffler
un
autre
par-dessus
bord
Hear
the
ancient
iron
bridge
Écoute
l'ancien
pont
de
fer
And
listen
to
it
groan
Et
écoute-le
gémir
With
the
weight
of
a
thousand
people
Sous
le
poids
de
mille
personnes
Leavin'
or
returning
home
Quittant
ou
rentrant
chez
eux
To
their
failures
Vers
leurs
échecs
To
their
bordoms
Vers
leurs
ennuis
To
their
husbands
Vers
leurs
maris
And
their
wife's
Et
leurs
femmes
Who
are
carving
them
up
for
dinner
Qui
les
découpent
en
morceaux
pour
le
dîner
Before
they
even
arrive
Avant
même
qu'ils
n'arrivent
Don't
be
afraid
N'aie
pas
peur
Come
on
down
Viens
ici
I'm
just
sittin'
here
Je
suis
juste
assis
ici
And
thinkin'
of
love
Et
je
pense
à
l'amour
And
look
they
just
blow
the
water
Et
regarde,
il
suffit
de
souffler
l'eau
See
the
saviour
of
the
human
race
Tu
vois
le
sauveur
de
la
race
humaine
Where
the
fishes
