Lyrics and translation Paul Kelly - Maralinga (Rainy Land)




Maralinga (Rainy Land)
Maralinga (Pays Pluvieux)
This is a rainy land
C'est un pays pluvieux
This is a rainy land
C'est un pays pluvieux
No thunder in our sky
Pas de tonnerre dans notre ciel
No trees stretching high
Pas d'arbres qui s'étendent haut
But this is a rainy land
Mais c'est un pays pluvieux
My name is Yami Lester
Je m'appelle Yami Lester
I hear I talk I touch but I am blind
J'entends, je parle, je touche, mais je suis aveugle
My story comes from darkness
Mon histoire vient des ténèbres
Listen to my story now unwind
Écoute mon histoire maintenant, détends-toi
This is a rainy land
C'est un pays pluvieux
First we heard two big bangs
D'abord, nous avons entendu deux gros bangs
We thought it was the great snake digging holes
Nous pensions que c'était le grand serpent qui creusait des trous
Then we saw the big cloud
Puis nous avons vu le grand nuage
Then the big black mist began to roll
Puis la grande brume noire a commencé à rouler
This is a rainy land
C'est un pays pluvieux
A strangeness on our skin
Une étrangeté sur notre peau
A soreness in our eyes like weeping fire
Une douleur dans nos yeux comme un feu qui pleure
A pox upon our skin
Une verrue sur notre peau
A boulder on our backs all our lives
Un rocher sur nos dos toute notre vie
This is a rainy land
C'est un pays pluvieux
This is a rainy land
C'est un pays pluvieux
No thunder in our sky
Pas de tonnerre dans notre ciel
No trees stretching high
Pas d'arbres qui s'étendent haut
But this is a rainy land
Mais c'est un pays pluvieux
My name is Millipuddy
Je m'appelle Millipuddy
They captured me and roughly washed me down
Ils m'ont capturée et m'ont violemment lavée
Then my child stopped kicking
Puis mon enfant a cessé de donner des coups de pied
Then they took away my man to town
Puis ils ont emmené mon homme en ville
They said do you speak English?
Ils ont dit Parlez-vous anglais
He said
Il a dit :
I know that Jesus loves me I know
« Je sais que Jésus m'aime, je sais
Because the bible tells me so
Parce que la Bible me le dit
I know that Jesus loves me I know
Je sais que Jésus m'aime, je sais
Because the bible tells me so
Parce que la Bible me le dit »
This is a rainy land
C'est un pays pluvieux
This is a rainy land
C'est un pays pluvieux
No thunder in our sky
Pas de tonnerre dans notre ciel
No trees stretching high
Pas d'arbres qui s'étendent haut
But this is a rainy land
Mais c'est un pays pluvieux
