Lyrics and translation Peter Gabriel - Slowburn (Extended Version)
We're
character
actors
from
the
Tower
of
Babel
Nous
sommes
des
acteurs
de
caractère
de
la
tour
de
Babel
Bewildered,
burnt
out,
hardly
able
Déconcertés,
épuisés,
à
peine
capables
To
sit
astride
the
high
wire
cable
De
nous
asseoir
à
califourchon
sur
le
câble
de
haute
tension
It's
hard
to
balance,
a
little
unstable.
C'est
difficile
d'équilibrer,
un
peu
instable.
Through
broken
eyes
and
contact
lenses
À
travers
des
yeux
brisés
et
des
lentilles
de
contact
Watched
you
draw
your
future
tenses
Je
t'ai
vu
dessiner
tes
futurs
temps
See
kisses
of
flame
blow
out
of
your
lips
Voir
des
baisers
de
flamme
s'échapper
de
tes
lèvres
You're
back
telling
me
your
Apocalypse.
Tu
es
de
retour
pour
me
raconter
ton
Apocalypse.
Don't
get
me
wrong,
I'll
be
strong
Ne
te
méprends
pas,
je
serai
fort
When
the
slow
burn
sunset
come
along
Quand
le
coucher
de
soleil
lent
et
brûlant
arrivera
You've
gotta
stay
the
night
Tu
dois
rester
pour
la
nuit
I
gotta
think
that
you
might.
Je
dois
penser
que
tu
pourrais.
We've
tried
a
handful
of
bills
and
a
handful
of
pills
Nous
avons
essayé
une
poignée
de
billets
et
une
poignée
de
pilules
We've
tried
making
movies
from
a
volume
of
stills
Nous
avons
essayé
de
faire
des
films
à
partir
d'un
volume
d'images
fixes
But
the
words
fell
like
hailstones,
Mais
les
mots
sont
tombés
comme
des
grêlons,
Bouncing
at
our
feet
Rebondissant
à
nos
pieds
Covering
our
feelings
with
a
frozen
sheet.
Couvrant
nos
sentiments
d'un
drap
glacé.
A
chance
to
move,
I
take
a
shot
Une
chance
de
bouger,
je
prends
un
coup
I
get
cold
you
get
hot
J'ai
froid,
tu
as
chaud
We
look
outside,
lyin'
awake
On
regarde
dehors,
allongés
éveillés
See
birds
breaking
surface
on
a
silent
lake.
On
voit
des
oiseaux
briser
la
surface
sur
un
lac
silencieux.
But
don't
get
me
wrong,
I'll
be
strong
Mais
ne
te
méprends
pas,
je
serai
fort
When
I'm
back
on
the
Isle
of
Avalon
Quand
je
serai
de
retour
sur
l'île
d'Avalon
Don't
get
me
wrong,
I'll
be
strong
Ne
te
méprends
pas,
je
serai
fort
When
the
slow
burn
sunset
come
along
Quand
le
coucher
de
soleil
lent
et
brûlant
arrivera
You've
got
to
stay
the
night
Tu
dois
rester
pour
la
nuit
I've
got
to
think
that
you
might.
Je
dois
penser
que
tu
pourrais.
Don't
try
to
make
it
easy,
it'll
cut
you
down
to
size
N'essaie
pas
de
le
rendre
facile,
ça
te
réduira
à
ta
taille
Darlin'
we've
got
to
trust
in
something
Chérie,
on
doit
faire
confiance
à
quelque
chose
We're
shooting
down
our
skies
On
tire
sur
nos
cieux
Shooting
down
our
skies
On
tire
sur
nos
cieux
