Lyrics and translation The Yardbirds - Shapes of Things (live in Germany 1967)
Shapes
of
things
before
my
eyes
Les
formes
des
choses
devant
mes
yeux
Just
teach
me
to
despise
M'apprennent
juste
à
mépriser
Will
time
make
men
more
wise?
Le
temps
rendra-t-il
les
hommes
plus
sages
?
Here
within
my
lonely
frame
Ici,
dans
mon
cadre
solitaire
My
eyes
just
heard
my
brain
Mes
yeux
viennent
d'entendre
mon
cerveau
But
will
it
seem
the
same?
Mais
cela
semblera-t-il
toujours
pareil
?
Come
tomorrow,
will
I
be
older?
Demain,
serai-je
plus
âgé
?
Come
tomorrow,
may
be
a
soldier
Demain,
peut-être
un
soldat
Come
tomorrow,
may
I
be
bolder
than
today?
Demain,
serai-je
plus
audacieux
qu'aujourd'hui
?
Now
the
trees
are
almost
green
Maintenant,
les
arbres
sont
presque
verts
But
will
they
still
be
seen
Mais
les
verra-t-on
encore
When
time
and
tide
have
been?
Quand
le
temps
et
la
marée
auront
passé
?
Fallin′
into
your
passing
hands
Tombant
dans
tes
mains
qui
passent
Please
don't
destroy
these
lands
S'il
te
plaît,
ne
détruis
pas
ces
terres
Don′t
make
them
desert
sands
N'en
fais
pas
des
sables
désertiques
Come
tomorrow,
will
I
be
older?
Demain,
serai-je
plus
âgé
?
Come
tomorrow,
may
be
a
soldier
Demain,
peut-être
un
soldat
Come
tomorrow,
may
I
be
bolder
than
today?
Demain,
serai-je
plus
audacieux
qu'aujourd'hui
?
Soon
I
hope
that
I
will
find
Bientôt,
j'espère
que
je
trouverai
Thoughts
deep
within
my
mind
Des
pensées
au
fond
de
mon
esprit
That
won't
displace
my
kind
Qui
ne
déplaceront
pas
les
miens
