Lyrics and translation Paul Kelly - Behind the Bowler's Arm




Behind the Bowler's Arm
Derrière le bras du lanceur
It's been a hard hard year, pushing shit up hill
Ça a été une année difficile, à pousser des merdes en montée
But shit happens all the time and I guess it always will
Mais les merdes arrivent tout le temps, et je suppose que ça sera toujours le cas
Now the days are getting long, Summer's on it's way
Maintenant, les journées rallongent, l'été arrive
And I can't wait for Christmas time, beacuse the day after is Boxing Day
Et j'ai hâte que Noël arrive, parce que le lendemain c'est le Boxing Day
And You'll know where to find me, ten rows back at the M.C.G
Et tu sais me trouver, dix rangées en arrière au M.C.G
Right behind the bowler's arm
Juste derrière le bras du lanceur
So leave your worries at the farm don't fret about the rain
Alors laisse tes soucis à la ferme, ne t'inquiète pas pour la pluie
Hold your credit at the store, bring the kids down on the train
Tiens ton crédit au magasin, amène les enfants en train
Meet me on the Richmond side just outside the gate
Rendez-vous du côté de Richmond, juste à l'extérieur de la porte
I want to see the very first ball but no sweat if you're running late
Je veux voir le tout premier ballon, mais pas de soucis si tu es en retard
'Cause you know where to find me, there's no place I'd rather be
Parce que tu sais me trouver, il n'y a pas d'autre endroit je préférerais être
Right behind the bowler's arm
Juste derrière le bras du lanceur
And if we're lucky we might see, someone make a ton or slashing fifty
Et si on a de la chance, on pourrait voir quelqu'un faire un ton ou une cinquantaine de points
Yeah if we're lucky there might be, a bowling spell of sheer wizardry
Ouais, si on a de la chance, il pourrait y avoir un sort de lancer pur de magie
But probably nothing much will happen at all
Mais probablement rien de bien important ne se passera
(Even if David Boon makes a century nothing much happens)
(Même si David Boon fait un siècle, rien de bien important ne se passe)
When the angels add my days and say my time is up
Quand les anges additionneront mes jours et diront que mon temps est écoulé
I'll say to them now hold on please there's one thing you forgot
Je leur dirai : "Attendez, il y a quelque chose que vous avez oublié."
I know each man must leave this world behind when he gets called
Je sais que chaque homme doit quitter ce monde quand il est appelé
But we had a deal that you won't count the days I watched the bat & ball
Mais on avait un accord : tu ne compteras pas les jours j'ai regardé la batte et le ballon
And the angels, they'll know where to find me
Et les anges, ils sauront me trouver
There's no place I'd rather be
Il n'y a pas d'autre endroit je préférerais être
Right behind the bowlers
Juste derrière les lanceurs
They'll know where to find me, ten rows back with sunburnt knees
Ils sauront me trouver, dix rangées en arrière avec des genoux brûlés par le soleil
Right behind the bowler's arm
Juste derrière le bras du lanceur
