Strawbs - Where Am I (I'll Show You Where To Sleep) - translation of the lyrics into French




Where Am I (I'll Show You Where To Sleep)
Où suis-je (Je te montrerai où dormir)
Where Am I?
suis-je ?
I sit here in peaceful meditation by a river
Je suis assis ici en méditation paisible au bord d'une rivière
Watch my thoughts go floating down the stream of consciousness
Je regarde mes pensées flotter sur le courant de la conscience
Never ever changing the direction of my dreaming
Ne changeant jamais la direction de mon rêve
To realise myself
Pour me réaliser
Nothing more or nothing less
Ni plus ni moins
And as the hours slip away
Et comme les heures s'écoulent
On this pleasant April day
En ce beau jour d'avril
I sit and watch the flowers grow
Je suis assis et regarde les fleurs pousser
Where am I
suis-je
Where am I?
suis-je ?
I'll Show You Where To Sleep
Je te montrerai dormir
Just paint a picture of the world
Peins juste une image du monde
In gentle pastel shades
Dans de douces nuances pastel
Indistinct and somehow blurred
Indistinct et quelque peu flou
Like childhood escapades
Comme les escapades de l'enfance
The painting box is rather dear
La boîte de peinture est plutôt chère
But the paints themselves are cheap
Mais les peintures elles-mêmes sont bon marché
Leave your pack at the side of the road
Laisse ton sac au bord de la route
I'll show you where to sleep.
Je te montrerai dormir.
Dead brown weeds in a ditch at the side
Des mauvaises herbes brunes et mortes dans un fossé au bord
Of a field of burning corn
D'un champ de maïs en feu
The road opens out before you
La route s'ouvre devant toi
Like the womb where you were born
Comme le ventre tu es
There's no need to pretend again
Il n'y a pas besoin de faire semblant à nouveau
To try and earn your keep
D'essayer de gagner ta vie
Leave your pack at the side of the road
Laisse ton sac au bord de la route
I'll show you where to sleep.
Je te montrerai dormir.
And crowds will gather in the sun
Et les foules se rassembleront au soleil
As stone madonnas weep
Alors que les madones de pierre pleurent
And the shepherd is a good man
Et le berger est un homme bien
As he tends his flock of sheep.
Alors qu'il s'occupe de son troupeau de moutons.
In case you find your tortoise shell
Au cas tu trouverais que ta carapace de tortue
Is getting rather tight
Devient un peu trop étroite
You can wrap yourself in your magic cloak
Tu peux t'envelopper dans ta cape magique
And disappear from sight
Et disparaître de la vue
And I will stand guard over you
Et je veillerai sur toi
As through the door you creep
Alors que tu passes la porte
Leave your pack at the side of the road
Laisse ton sac au bord de la route
I'll show you where to sleep.
Je te montrerai dormir.
