Lyrics and translation R.E.M. - The Lifting (Original Version)
The Lifting (Original Version)
Le Relèvement (Version Originale)
Grounded,
5 A.M.
Ancré,
5 heures
du
matin.
The
nitelite
is
comforting,
La
veilleuse
est
réconfortante,
But
gravity
is
holding
you.
Mais
la
gravité
te
retient.
Once
settled
into
sleep
Une
fois
installé
dans
le
sommeil
You
have
watched,
on
repeat,
Tu
as
regardé,
en
boucle,
The
story
of
your
life
L'histoire
de
ta
vie
Across
the
ceiling;
Sur
le
plafond ;
And
in
review,
Et
en
revue,
You′ve
said
the
air
was
singing
Tu
as
dit
que
l'air
chantait
It's
calling
you,
you
don′t
believe
Il
t'appelle,
tu
n'y
crois
pas
These
things
you've
never
seen
Ces
choses
que
tu
n'as
jamais
vues
"Good
morning,
and
how
are
you?
"Bonjour,
comment
vas-tu ?
The
weather's
fine,
the
sky
is
blue
-
Le
temps
est
magnifique,
le
ciel
est
bleu
-
It′s
perfect
for
our
seminar..."
C'est
parfait
pour
notre
séminaire..."
"Now
close
your
eyes,
"Maintenant,
ferme
les
yeux,
And
start
to
breathe.
Et
commence
à
respirer.
Allow
the
noise
to
recede...
Laisse
le
bruit
s'estomper...
...Allow
yourself
to
drift
and
fly
away."
...Laisse-toi
aller
et
vole.
But
you
just
stay.
Mais
tu
restes.
You′ve
said
the
air
was
singing
Tu
as
dit
que
l'air
chantait
It's
calling
you,
you
don′t
believe
Il
t'appelle,
tu
n'y
crois
pas
These
things
you've
never
seen,
never
dreamed.
Ces
choses
que
tu
n'as
jamais
vues,
jamais
rêvées.
Did
you
hear
these
voices
calling
As-tu
entendu
ces
voix
t'appeler
Locked
into
the
conference
room,
Enfermé
dans
la
salle
de
conférence,
"We′re
only
what
our
minds
assume..."
"Nous
ne
sommes
que
ce
que
nos
esprits
supposent..."
And
rationale
is
leaving
you.
Et
la
rationalité
te
quitte.
This
conceit,
these
systems
of
belief,
Cette
prétention,
ces
systèmes
de
croyance,
Your
counselor
agrees,
Ton
conseiller
est
d'accord,
"You've
always
marked
these
boundaries,
now
you′re
free..."
"Tu
as
toujours
marqué
ces
frontières,
maintenant
tu
es
libre..."
And
with
relief.
Et
avec
soulagement.
You've
said
the
air
was
singing
Tu
as
dit
que
l'air
chantait
It's
calling
you,
you
don′t
believe
Il
t'appelle,
tu
n'y
crois
pas
These
things
you′ve
never
seen,
never
heard,
never
dreamed.
Ces
choses
que
tu
n'as
jamais
vues,
jamais
entendues,
jamais
rêvées.
You've
said
the
air
was
singing
Tu
as
dit
que
l'air
chantait
It′s
calling
you,
you
don't
believe
Il
t'appelle,
tu
n'y
crois
pas
These
things
you′ve
never
seen
Ces
choses
que
tu
n'as
jamais
vues
Never,
never,
never.
Jamais,
jamais,
jamais.
Once
you
had
a
dream
Tu
as
eu
un
rêve
un
jour
Of
oceans,
and
sunken
cities;
D'océans,
et
de
cités
englouties ;
Memories
of
things
you've
never
known
Des
souvenirs
de
choses
que
tu
n'as
jamais
connues
And
you
have
never
known.
Et
que
tu
n'as
jamais
connues.
