Lyrics and translation Richard Burton - I Wonder What the King Is Doing Tonight (From "Camelot")
I
know
what
my
people
are
thinking
tonight
Je
sais
ce
que
mon
peuple
pense
ce
soir
As
home
through
the
shadows
they
wander
Alors
qu'ils
errent
à
la
maison
à
travers
les
ombres
Everyone
smiling
in
secret
delight
Tout
le
monde
sourit
en
secret
They
stare
at
the
castle
and
ponder
Ils
regardent
le
château
et
réfléchissent
Whenever
the
wind
blows
this
way
Chaque
fois
que
le
vent
souffle
de
ce
côté
You
can
almost
hear
everyone
say
On
peut
presque
entendre
tout
le
monde
dire
I
wonder
what
the
king
is
doing
tonight?
Je
me
demande
ce
que
le
roi
fait
ce
soir?
What
merriment
is
the
king
pursuing
tonight?
Quel
divertissement
le
roi
poursuit-il
ce
soir?
The
candles
at
the
court,
they
never
burned
as
bright
Les
bougies
à
la
cour,
elles
n'ont
jamais
brûlé
aussi
fort
I
wonder
what
the
king
is
upto
tonight?
Je
me
demande
ce
que
le
roi
fait
ce
soir?
How
goes
the
final
hour
as
he
sees
his
bridal
bower
Comment
se
passe
la
dernière
heure
alors
qu'il
voit
son
boudoir
nuptial
Being
regally
and
legally
prepared?
Être
royalement
et
légalement
préparé?
Well,
I'll
tell
you
what
the
king
is
doing
tonight
Eh
bien,
je
vais
te
dire
ce
que
le
roi
fait
ce
soir
He's
scared,
he's
scared
Il
a
peur,
il
a
peur
You
mean
that
a
king
who
fought
a
dragon
Tu
veux
dire
qu'un
roi
qui
a
combattu
un
dragon
Hacked
him
in
two
and
fixed
his
wagon
L'a
coupé
en
deux
et
réparé
son
char
Goes
to
be
wed
in
terror
and
distress?
Yes
Va
se
marier
dans
la
terreur
et
la
détresse?
Oui
A
warrior
who's
so
calm
in
battle
Un
guerrier
qui
est
si
calme
au
combat
Even
his
armor
doesn't
rattle
Même
son
armure
ne
s'agite
pas
Faces
a
woman
petrified
with
fright?
Right
Face
à
une
femme
pétrifiée
de
peur?
C'est
ça
You
mean
that
appalling
clamoring
Tu
veux
dire
que
ce
vacarme
épouvantable
That
sounds
like
a
blacksmith
hammering
Qui
ressemble
à
un
forgeron
qui
martelle
Is
merely
the
banging
of
his
royal
knees?
Please
N'est
que
le
cognement
de
ses
genoux
royaux?
S'il
te
plaît
You
wonder
what
the
king
is
wishing
tonight?
Tu
te
demandes
ce
que
le
roi
souhaite
ce
soir?
He's
wishing
he
were
in
Scotland
fishing
tonight
Il
souhaite
être
en
Écosse
à
la
pêche
ce
soir
What
occupies
his
time
while
waiting
for
the
bride?
Qu'est-ce
qui
occupe
son
temps
en
attendant
la
mariée?
He's
searching
high
and
low
for
some
place
to
hide
Il
cherche
partout
une
cachette
And
oh,
the
expectation,
the
sublime
anticipation
Et
oh,
l'attente,
l'anticipation
sublime
He
must
feel
about
the
wedding
night
to
come
Il
doit
ressentir
la
nuit
de
noces
à
venir
Well,
I'll
tell
you
what
the
king
is
feeling
tonight
Eh
bien,
je
vais
te
dire
ce
que
le
roi
ressent
ce
soir
He's
numb,
he
shakes,
he
quails,
he
quakes
Il
est
engourdi,
il
tremble,
il
se
dérobe,
il
tremble
And
that's
what
the
king
is
doing
tonight
Et
c'est
ce
que
le
roi
fait
ce
soir
