Roger Waters - Act 2: Scene 2: The Ship of State Is All at Sea - translation of the lyrics into French




Act 2: Scene 2: The Ship of State Is All at Sea
Acte 2: Scène 2: Le navire d’État est en pleine mer
The ship of state is all at sea
Le navire d’État est en pleine mer
The King is confused
Le Roi est confus
′Tis hard enough to place one foot before the last
Il est assez difficile de poser un pied devant l’autre
To tread a path preordained by a law divine
De suivre un chemin prédestiné par une loi divine
But to pad all aimless on a shifting sea
Mais de s’enfoncer sans but sur une mer changeante
Each man an island free to choose his fate
Chaque homme est une île libre de choisir son destin
God's death; what dizzy, giddy, fall from grace...
Mort de Dieu ; quelle vertigineuse, folle, chute de grâce...
Commerce, that barometer of faith
Le commerce, ce baromètre de la foi
Tolls warning of the coming storm
Sonde l’avertissement de la tempête à venir
No coffee in the marketplace
Pas de café sur le marché
No peace on earth for rich or poor
Pas de paix sur terre pour les riches ou les pauvres
