Lyrics and translation Peter Hammill - The Second Hand (Live)




The Second Hand (Live)
La Seconde Main (Live)
See the old man acting like a fool,
Regarde ce vieil homme agir comme un fou,
Yeah, he's running from the ambulance.
Oui, il fuit l'ambulance.
When he was a youngster he broke all the rules
Quand il était jeune, il brisait toutes les règles
Now he says that was just accident.
Maintenant, il dit que c'était juste un accident.
Always had the feeling he was going to die young,
Il a toujours eu le sentiment qu'il allait mourir jeune,
So now he feels repentant;
Alors maintenant, il se sent repentant ;
But the judge was progressive and the jury was hung,
Mais le juge était progressiste et le jury était suspendu,
He got a suspended sentence.
Il a eu une peine avec sursis.
So he ran from his future, he ran from his past,
Alors il a fui son avenir, il a fui son passé,
Yes, he ran from the desert of the hour-glass
Oui, il a fui le désert du sablier
But the sea of time is a rising flood
Mais la mer du temps est une inondation montante
And he's swamped by the wave.
Et il est submergé par la vague.
His arms go limp by his side,
Ses bras deviennent flasques à ses côtés,
He only came for the ride,
Il n'est venu que pour la balade,
He thought he'd hold back the tide,
Il pensait pouvoir retenir la marée,
Canute.
Canute.
One eye on the main chance and one eye on the clock,
Un œil sur la chance et un œil sur l'horloge,
Oh, when did his brain go?
Oh, quand son cerveau est-il parti ?
And when does a veteran get to be a crock...
Et quand un vétéran devient-il un crock...
No gold at the end of this rainbow!
Pas d'or au bout de cet arc-en-ciel !
He always boxed clever with his shadowy hopes
Il a toujours boxé intelligemment avec ses espoirs ombragés
But now he's in trouble with his back on the ropes
Mais maintenant il est en difficulté avec le dos contre les cordes
And the hands of time are bunched into fists:
Et les aiguilles du temps sont serrées en poings :
Yeah, he's out for the Count.
Oui, il est K.O.
The sword has sunk in the lake
L'épée a coulé dans le lac
And now he's watching dawn break
Et maintenant il regarde l'aube se lever
And now he waits for the stake,
Et maintenant il attend le pieu,
Dracul.
Dracul.
This boy's a fool,
Ce garçon est un fou,
This fool's a man,
Ce fou est un homme,
All men are ruled
Tous les hommes sont gouvernés
By the Second Hand.
Par la Seconde Main.
