Lyrics and translation The Waterboys - Sleek White Schooner
I
dreamed
I
saw
you
sailing
in
J'ai
rêvé
de
te
voir
naviguer
Upon
a
sleek
white
schooner
Sur
un
élégant
schooner
blanc
You
were
skimming
over
the
shallow
seas,
Tu
glissares
sur
les
mers
peu
profondes,
Coming
into
harbour,
Entrant
dans
le
port,
Healing
on
your
brow
La
guérison
sur
ton
front
In
the
hard,
fateful,
brand
new
Dans
le
dur,
fatidique,
tout
nouveau
Twenty-first
century
Vingt-et-unième
siècle
The
cargo
you
were
carrying
La
cargaison
que
tu
portais
Was
richer
than
riches,
Était
plus
riche
que
les
richesses,
Golder
than
gold
and
yet
more
real
than
real
Plus
doré
que
l'or
et
pourtant
plus
réel
que
réel
And
the
light
that
came
a-flashing
Et
la
lumière
qui
a
jailli
From
the
new
born
babe
in
your
arms
Du
nouveau-né
dans
tes
bras
Was
a
pealing
of
thunder,
a
cannonball
flying
Était
un
tonnerre
retentissant,
un
boulet
de
canon
qui
vole
A
sun
exploding,
Dawn
in
the
heart
of
me
Un
soleil
qui
explose,
l'aube
au
cœur
de
moi
I
stood
there
on
the
shoreline
Je
me
tenais
là
sur
le
rivage
Looking
out
over
to
sea
Regardant
vers
la
mer
And
I
watched
your
white
sail
Et
j'ai
regardé
ta
voile
blanche
Sparkling
on
the
horizon
Étincelante
à
l'horizon
You
were
coming
into
harbour
Tu
entrais
dans
le
port
Healing
on
your
brow
La
guérison
sur
ton
front
In
the
hard,
fateful,
brand
new
Dans
le
dur,
fatidique,
tout
nouveau
