Lyrics and translation Richie Havens - What More Can I Say John




What More Can I Say John
Que puis-je dire de plus, John ?
You have anticipated all the players
Tu as anticipé tous les joueurs
Your silent judgment growin
Ton jugement silencieux grandit
And from time to time you pace the floor
Et de temps en temps tu fais les cent pas
Because you are a-knowing
Parce que tu sais
Yet you cannot stop your sowing
Mais tu ne peux pas arrêter tes semailles
All the stars that symbolize where you're going
Toutes les étoiles qui symbolisent tu vas
And your heavy rains keep growing
Et tes pluies diluviennes ne cessent de croître
Hey, come on, you've got something better to do
Hé, allez, tu as mieux à faire
You have hidden your face from the people
Tu as caché ton visage aux gens
And to them you keep on denying
Et tu continues à leur refuser
That far, far away across the sea
Ce qui se passe loin, loin, de l'autre côté de la mer
For no reason their sons are dying
Pour aucune raison leurs fils meurent
While it's Vietnam you're buying
Alors que c'est le Vietnam que tu achètes
Among all your conservatives a-sighing
Parmi tous tes conservateurs qui soupirent
And all your murderous lying
Et tous tes mensonges meurtriers
Hey, it's me who's defying
Hé, c'est moi qui défie
Hey, come on, you've got something better to dog
Hé, allez, tu as mieux à faire
What good are all those documents?
A quoi servent tous ces documents ?
Those well-kept worthless scrolls
Ces précieux rouleaux sans valeur
When the hand you bit turns and slaps your face
Quand la main que tu as mordue se retourne et te gifle
The hands you tried to mold
Les mains que tu as essayé de modeler
And they leave you out in the cold
Et ils te laissent dans le froid
With your pockets full of gold
Avec tes poches pleines d'or
Yet you cannot pay the toll
Mais tu ne peux pas payer le prix
Of the brave and the bold who are shouting
Des braves et des audacieux qui crient
Hey, come on, you've got something better to do
Hé, allez, tu as mieux à faire
