Lyrics and translation Saxon - And the Bands Played On (2009 Remaster)

And the Bands Played On (2009 Remaster)

Et les orchestres jouaient (Remaster 2009)

Just before dawn in the cold light

Juste avant l'aube dans la lumière froide

We came out of the night

Nous sortions de la nuit

A great expectation from the man who ran the show

Une grande attente de la part de l'homme qui dirigeait le spectacle

Will it rain, will it snow, will it shine, we don′t know

Pleuvra-t-il, neigera-t-il, brillera-t-il, nous ne savons pas

Are there clouds up in the sky

Y a-t-il des nuages dans le ciel

We sat in the sun, woah-oh-oh

Nous étions assis au soleil, woah-oh-oh

And the bands played on

Et les orchestres jouaient

And the bands played on

Et les orchestres jouaient

And the bands played on

Et les orchestres jouaient

See the people, feel the power

Regarde les gens, sens la puissance

There was sixty thousand there

Il y avait soixante mille personnes là-bas

Just like thunder the crowds began to roar

Comme le tonnerre, les foules ont commencé à rugir

Where you there, did ya know, did ya see all the show

Étais-tu là, savais-tu, as-tu vu tout le spectacle

There was magic in the air

Il y avait de la magie dans l'air

We sat in the sun woah-oh-oh

Nous étions assis au soleil, woah-oh-oh

And the bands played on

Et les orchestres jouaient

And the bands played on

Et les orchestres jouaient

And the bands played on

Et les orchestres jouaient

See the rainbow shining brightly

Regarde l'arc-en-ciel briller

Shooting rockets to the sky

Tirer des fusées vers le ciel

Making music and it rolled on through the night

Faire de la musique et elle a roulé toute la nuit

You could hear on the air rock n' roll everywhere

On pouvait entendre sur les ondes du rock n' roll partout

We were strangers in the night

Nous étions des étrangers dans la nuit

We sat in the sun woah-oh-oh

Nous étions assis au soleil, woah-oh-oh

And the bands played on

Et les orchestres jouaient

And the bands played on

Et les orchestres jouaient

And the bands played on

Et les orchestres jouaient

And the bands played on

Et les orchestres jouaient

And the bands played on

Et les orchestres jouaient
