Lyrics and translation Strawbs - Ringing Down the Years




Ringing Down the Years
Les années résonnent
We met when you were still a girl
On s'est rencontrés quand tu étais encore une fille
In nineteen sixty eight
En mille neuf cent soixante-huit
You wore a white dress and a hat
Tu portais une robe blanche et un chapeau
I touched the hand of fate
J'ai touché la main du destin
Your sweet voice took my breath away
Ta douce voix m'a coupé le souffle
Your smile lit up your face
Ton sourire illuminait ton visage
You still had both feet on the ground
Tu avais encore les deux pieds sur terre
I was out in space
J'étais dans l'espace
That certain sadness in your eyes
Cette certaine tristesse dans tes yeux
The secret of your smile
Le secret de ton sourire
I've carried all these memories
J'ai gardé tous ces souvenirs
Down many's the weary mile
Pendant de nombreux kilomètres
And every time I hear your name
Et chaque fois que j'entends ton nom
My eyes moist up with tears
Mes yeux se mouillent de larmes
As every word you ever sang
Comme chaque mot que tu as jamais chanté
Comes ringing down the years.
Résonne dans les années.
We sat and talked the whole night long
On s'est assis et on a parlé toute la nuit
Of all our rights and wrongs
De tous nos torts et nos droits
Of mutual acquaintances
De connaissances mutuelles
We sang each other's song
On s'est chanté nos chansons
You were with me when the morning broke
Tu étais avec moi quand le matin est arrivé
The birds refused to sing
Les oiseaux refusaient de chanter
They knew when they were beaten
Ils savaient quand ils étaient battus
They hid beneath their wings.
Ils se sont cachés sous leurs ailes.
I was in a Cleveland hotel room
J'étais dans une chambre d'hôtel à Cleveland
When they telephoned the news
Quand ils ont téléphoné pour annoncer la nouvelle
I drowned my sorrow all night long
J'ai noyé mon chagrin toute la nuit
The Southern Comfort blues
Le blues du Southern Comfort
The show went on to great applause
Le spectacle a continué sous les applaudissements
Choking back the tears
En étouffant les larmes
As every word you ever sang
Comme chaque mot que tu as jamais chanté
Came ringing down the years.
Résonne dans les années.
I reached out for the hourglass
J'ai tendu la main pour le sablier
To turn it face about
Pour le retourner
But who knows where the time goes
Mais qui sait va le temps
When your time is running out
Quand ton temps est écoulé
I know someday we'll meet again
Je sais qu'un jour on se retrouvera
And I know just what I'll find
Et je sais ce que je trouverai
You'll have taught the angels how to sing
Tu auras appris aux anges à chanter
Georgia - Georgia on my mind.
Géorgie - Géorgie dans mon esprit.
