Lyrics and translation Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Hiding All Away

Hiding All Away

Se Cacher Partout

You went looking for me, dear, down by the sea

Tu es allée me chercher, ma chère, au bord de la mer

You found some little silver fish but you didn't find me

Tu as trouvé des petits poissons argentés, mais tu ne m'as pas trouvé

I was hiding, dear

Je me cachais, ma chère

Hiding all away

Je me cachais partout

I was hiding, dear

Je me cachais, ma chère

I was a-hiding all away

Je me cachais partout

Then you went to the museum and you climbed the spiral stair

Puis tu es allée au musée et tu as gravi l'escalier en colimaçon

You searched for me all among the knowledgeable air

Tu m'as cherché parmi l'air savant

I was a-hidden, babe

Je me cachais, bébé

I was a-hiding all away

Je me cachais partout

I was a-hidden, dear

Je me cachais, ma chère

I was a-hiding all away

Je me cachais partout

You entered the cathedral when you heard the solemn knell

Tu es entrée dans la cathédrale lorsque tu as entendu le glas solennel

I was not sitting with the gargoyles

Je n'étais pas assis avec les gargouilles

I was not swinging from the bell

Je ne me balançais pas à la cloche

I was hiding, dear

Je me cachais, ma chère

I was a-hiding all away

Je me cachais partout

I was a-hiding, dear

Je me cachais, ma chère

I was a-hiding all away

Je me cachais partout

All right now

Très bien maintenant

You asked an electrician if he'd seen me round his place

Tu as demandé à un électricien s'il m'avait vu chez lui

He touched you with his fingers

Il t'a touchée avec ses doigts

Sent sparks zapping out your face

Des étincelles ont jailli de ton visage

I was hidden, dear

J'étais caché, ma chère

I was a-hiding all away

Je me cachais partout

I was not there, dear

Je n'étais pas là, ma chère

I was a-hiding all away

Je me cachais partout

A-well, you went and asked the doctor to get some advice

Eh bien, tu es allée demander conseil au médecin

Well, he shot you full of Pethidine and then he went and billed you twice

Eh bien, il t'a bourré de Péthidine et puis il t'a fait payer deux fois

But I was a-hiding, dear

Mais je me cachais, ma chère

I was a-hiding all away

Je me cachais partout

I was a-hiding, dear

Je me cachais, ma chère

A-hiding all away

Je me cachais partout

You approached a high-court judge

Tu as approché un juge de la Haute Cour

You thought he'd be on the level

Tu pensais qu'il serait honnête

Well, he wrapped a rag around your face and he beat you with his gavel

Eh bien, il t'a enveloppé le visage d'un chiffon et t'a frappée avec son maillet

I was a-hiding, babe

Je me cachais, bébé

I was a-hiding all away

Je me cachais partout

I was keeping hidden, dear

Je restais caché, ma chère

I was hiding all away

Je me cachais partout

You looked to the local constabulary

Tu t'es tournée vers la police locale

They said, he's up to his same old tricks

Ils ont dit, il nous refait le coup

They leered at you with their baby blues and rubbed jelly on their sticks

Ils t'ont reluquée avec leurs yeux bleus de bébé et ont frotté de la gelée sur leurs matraques

I had to get out of there, babe

J'ai dû sortir de là, bébé

I was a-hiding all away

Je me cachais partout

You better get out of there, dear

Tu ferais mieux de sortir de là, ma chère

Hiding all away

Te cacher partout

All right, yeah

Très bien, ouais

All right, yeah

Très bien, ouais

You searched through all my poets from Sappho through to Auden

Tu as cherché dans tous mes poètes, de Sappho à Auden

I saw the book fall from your hands as you slowly died of boredom

J'ai vu le livre tomber de tes mains alors que tu mourais lentement d'ennui

I had been there, dear, but I was not there anymore

J'avais été là, ma chère, mais je n'y étais plus

I had been there

J'avais été là

Now I'm hiding all away

Maintenant je me cache partout

You walked into the hall of fame and approached my imitators

Tu es entrée dans le temple de la renommée et tu as approché mes imitateurs

Some were stuffing their faces with the caviar

Certains se gavaient de caviar

Some were eating cold potatoes

D'autres mangeaient des pommes de terre froides

But I was a-hiding, dear

Mais je me cachais, ma chère

I was a-hiding all away

Je me cachais partout

I was hiding, dear

Je me cachais, ma chère

I was a-hiding all away

Je me cachais partout

Well, you asked a famous cook if he'd seen me

Eh bien, tu as demandé à un cuisinier célèbre s'il m'avait vu

He opened his oven wide

Il a ouvert son four en grand

Well, he basted you with butter, babe, and he made you crawl inside

Eh bien, il t'a arrosée de beurre, bébé, et il t'a fait ramper à l'intérieur

But I was not in there, dear

Mais je n'étais pas là, ma chère

I was a-hiding all away

Je me cachais partout

I was not in there, dear

Je n'étais pas là, ma chère

I was a-hiding all away

Je me cachais partout

You asked the butcher

Tu as demandé au boucher

Lifted up his cleaver

Il a levé son couperet

Stuck his fist up your dress

A enfoncé son poing dans ta robe

Said he must've been mad to leave you

Il a dit qu'il devait être fou de te quitter

But I had to get away, dear

Mais j'ai dû m'enfuir, ma chère

I was a-hiding all away

Je me cachais partout

I had to get away, dear

J'ai dû m'enfuir, ma chère

I was a-hidden all away

Je me cachais partout

All right, yeah

Très bien, ouais

Some of us we hide away

Certains d'entre nous se cachent

Some of us we don't

Certains d'entre nous ne le font pas

Some will live to love another day and some of us won't

Certains vivront pour aimer un autre jour et d'autres non

But we all know there is a law and, that law, it is love

Mais nous savons tous qu'il y a une loi et que cette loi, c'est l'amour

And we all know there is a war coming

Et nous savons tous qu'une guerre arrive

Coming from above

Venant d'en haut

There is a war coming

Une guerre arrive

There is a war coming

Une guerre arrive

There is a war coming

Une guerre arrive

There is a war coming

Une guerre arrive

There is a war coming

Une guerre arrive

There is a war coming

Une guerre arrive

There is a war coming

Une guerre arrive

There is a war coming

Une guerre arrive

There is a war coming

Une guerre arrive

There is a war coming

Une guerre arrive

There is a war coming

Une guerre arrive

There is a war coming

Une guerre arrive

There is a war coming

Une guerre arrive

There is a war coming

Une guerre arrive

There is a war coming

Une guerre arrive
