Lyrics and translation Paul Kelly - Going About My Father's Business
Standing
in
the
darkness
watching
while
you
sleep
Debout
dans
l'obscurité,
je
te
regarde
dormir
I
can
hear
you
softly
breathing
while
I
creep
Je
peux
entendre
ta
respiration
douce
alors
que
je
me
faufile
Going
about
my
father's
business
S'occuper
des
affaires
de
mon
père
Doing
my
father's
time
Faire
le
temps
de
mon
père
What's
done
to
me
I'll
do
to
mine
Ce
qu'on
m'a
fait,
je
le
ferai
au
mien
I
woke
up
one
summer
morning
he
was
gone
Je
me
suis
réveillé
un
matin
d'été,
il
était
parti
Soft
light
through
the
window
breaking
for
my
son
Une
lumière
douce
à
travers
la
fenêtre
se
lève
pour
notre
fils
Going
about
my
father's
business
S'occuper
des
affaires
de
mon
père
Doing
my
father's
time
Faire
le
temps
de
mon
père
What's
done
to
me
I'll
do
to
mine
Ce
qu'on
m'a
fait,
je
le
ferai
au
mien
Know
them
by
what
they
do
Connais-les
par
ce
qu'ils
font
Let
no-one
speak
for
you
Ne
laisse
personne
parler
pour
toi
Just
this
I
beg
of
you
C'est
tout
ce
que
je
te
demande
Forgive
me,
forgive
me
Pardonne-moi,
pardonne-moi
Someday
when
we
sign
the
treaty
I'll
be
home
Un
jour,
quand
nous
signerons
le
traité,
je
serai
de
retour
à
la
maison
War
is
long
and
lasts
for
ever
and
I'm
your
own
La
guerre
est
longue
et
dure
éternellement,
et
je
suis
le
tien
Going

my
father's
business
