Lyrics and translation The Doors - The WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat) [2006 Remastered]

The WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat) [2006 Remastered]

La WASP (Texas Radio et le Big Beat) [2006 Remastered]

I wanna tell you about Texas Radio and the Big Beat

Je veux te parler de Texas Radio et du Big Beat

Comes out of the Virginia swamps

Qui vient des marais de Virginie

Cool and slow with plenty of precision

Froid et lent avec beaucoup de précision

With a back beat narrow and hard to master

Avec un rythme arrière étroit et difficile à maîtriser

Some call it heavenly in its brilliance

Certains l'appellent céleste dans sa brillance

Others, mean and rueful of the Western dream

D'autres, méchants et regrets du rêve occidental

I love the friends I have gathered together on this thin raft

J'aime les amis que j'ai rassemblés sur ce radeau mince

We have constructed pyramids in honor of our escaping

Nous avons construit des pyramides en l'honneur de notre fuite

This is the land where the Pharaoh died

C'est le pays où le pharaon est mort

The Negroes in the forest brightly feathered

Les Noirs dans la forêt, vivement plumés

They are saying, "Forget the night

Ils disent : "Oublie la nuit

Live with us in forests of azure

Vis avec nous dans les forêts d'azur

Out here on the perimeter there are no stars

Ici, sur le périmètre, il n'y a pas d'étoiles

Out here we is stoned, immaculate"

Ici, nous sommes défoncés, immaculés"

Now listen to this, I'll tell you about the heartache

Maintenant, écoute ceci, je vais te parler du chagrin

I'll tell you about the heartache and the loss of God

Je vais te parler du chagrin et de la perte de Dieu

I'll tell you about the hopeless nights

Je vais te parler des nuits sans espoir

The meager food, the souls forgot

La nourriture maigre, les âmes oubliées

I'll tell you about the maiden with wrought iron soul

Je vais te parler de la jeune fille à l'âme de fer forgé

I'll tell you this

Je te dis ceci

No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn

Aucune récompense éternelle ne nous pardonnera maintenant d'avoir gaspillé l'aube

I'll tell you about Texas Radio and the Big Beat

Je vais te parler de Texas Radio et du Big Beat

Soft driven, slow and mad, like some new language

Doux, piloté, lent et fou, comme une nouvelle langue

Now, listen to this, I'll tell you about Texas

Maintenant, écoute ceci, je vais te parler du Texas

I'll tell you about Texas Radio

Je vais te parler de Texas Radio

I'll tell you about the hopeless nights

Je vais te parler des nuits sans espoir

Wand'rin' in the Western dream

Errant dans le rêve occidental

Tell you about the maiden with wrought iron soul

Te parler de la jeune fille à l'âme de fer forgé
