Lyrics and translation Raphael - Locomotive




Locomotive
Locomotive
La locomotive va vite
Train races past
La locomotive va fort
Train speeds past
À chaque virage elle évite
At each turn avoids
Un contrefort
A buttress
Les attelages la suivent
Couplings follow
Les attelages l'escortent
Couplings escort
Et quand le rail dérive
And when the rail inclines
Le monde dort
The world sleeps
Oh c'est comme si c'était moi qui avais fendu cette crevasse
Oh it's like I had been the one who split this chasm
Oh c'est comme si c'était moi qui avais lancé les planètes
Oh it's like I had been the one who launched the planets
La locomotive va vite
Train races past
La locomotive va fort
Train speeds past
Terre acide véhémente
Fiery acidic earth
Serre humide de belles plantes
Damp greenhouse of beautiful plants
Quadrupèdes
Quadrupeds
Grands stupides
Big idiots
Hominoïdes
Humanoids
Cupides cupides
Greedy greedy
Qui n'a pas eu peur à la vue d'une lame à la tête d'une lance
Who has not been scared at the sight of a blade at the head of a lance
Qui n'a qui n'a pas eu peur
Who has not who has not been scared
Et si les jours se déroulaient en paix
And if the days went by in peace
Comme jamais
Like never before
Oh c'est comme si c'était moi qui avais fendu cette crevasse
Oh it's like I had been the one who split this chasm
Oh c'est comme si c'était moi qui avais lancé les planètes
Oh it's like I had been the one who launched the planets
Oh qui n'a pas eu peur de la vitesse des locomotives
Oh who has not been scared of the speed of trains
La locomotive va vite
Train races past
La locomotive va fort
Train speeds past
De quel fléau sommes-nous dupes
Of what plague are we being duped
De quel fléau sommes-nous dupes
Of what plague are we being duped
Qui n'a pas eu peur de la vitesse des locomotives
Who has not been scared of the speed of trains
