Roger Waters - Act 1: Scene 4: To Laugh Is to Know How to Live - translation of the lyrics into French




Act 1: Scene 4: To Laugh Is to Know How to Live
Acte 1: Scène 4: Rire, c'est savoir vivre
To laugh is to know how to live
Rire, c'est savoir vivre
To see is to know everything
Voir, c'est tout comprendre
To read is to hold the key that you need
Lire, c'est détenir la clé dont tu as besoin
The key you need to set you free
La clé dont tu as besoin pour te libérer
All the world can see that in this great library
Le monde entier peut voir que dans cette grande bibliothèque
There′s a good medicine against tyranny
Il y a un bon remède contre la tyrannie
And the movement of the heavens
Et le mouvement des cieux
Though it may last forever
Bien qu'il puisse durer éternellement
Sees no right, no wrong, no weak, no strong
Ne voit ni bien, ni mal, ni faible, ni fort
And the star you see in the sky and the moon and the sun
Et l'étoile que tu vois dans le ciel, et la lune, et le soleil
Shine on prince and pauper alike and favour no one
Brillent sur le prince et le pauvre de la même manière, et ne favorisent personne
The politics of the Rights of Man
La politique des Droits de l'Homme
Is the sharing of apples with an even hand
C'est le partage des pommes avec une main juste
TO plant a tree were birds my sit
Planter un arbre les oiseaux pourraient se poser
But who in France will nurture it
Mais qui en France le nourrira ?
