Lyrics and translation Toad the Wet Sprocket - Know Me - Live at the Arlington Theatre, Santa Barbara, CA - September 1992




Know Me - Live at the Arlington Theatre, Santa Barbara, CA - September 1992
Connais-moi - Live au Arlington Theatre, Santa Barbara, CA - Septembre 1992
[I love an object, singular thing Carried beside me and flaunted for me Well I know I'm not holy, just partially good No time for my family, patience to brood I want to be a great man, A hero, a martyr, immortal I'd stand well I haven't the guts to touch lepers or queers So I'm happy to waste away time with you here]
[J'aime un objet, une seule chose que je porte avec moi et que je te montre, Je sais que je ne suis pas saint, juste un peu bon, Pas de temps pour ma famille, la patience pour ruminer, Je veux être un grand homme, un héros, un martyr, immortel, Je me tiendrais bien, Mais je n'ai pas le courage de toucher les lépreux ou les gays, Alors je suis content de perdre mon temps avec toi ici]
Should I have believed I was still a boy
Aurais-je croire que j'étais encore un garçon
Naive and sane, protected wholly
Naïf et sain, totalement protégé
Tongue-tied and restless
Le langage lié et agité
Breathing of futures
Respirant les futurs
Know me; I am not a child
Connais-moi ; je ne suis pas un enfant
Though you have age
Même si tu as l'âge
You have not felt the pain...
Tu n'as pas senti la douleur...
Should I have remained obedient and docile
Aurais-je rester obéissant et docile
So far restrained
Si loin retenu
The hands that hold me back
Les mains qui me retiennent
Could break my bones
Pourraient me briser les os
As each one snaps
Comme chaque os se brise
I hate my home
Je déteste ma maison
Far on my way
Loin sur mon chemin
I should know, I was born here
Je devrais le savoir, je suis ici
Know me
Connais-moi
Am I just some fool? am I far from ready?
Suis-je juste un imbécile ? suis-je loin d'être prêt ?
Just let me fall and Ill believe you.
Laisse-moi simplement tomber et je te croirai.
Chained up and pampered I strain until I crack
Enchaîné et choyé, je me tend jusqu'à ce que je craque
Know me before you kill what I want to be
Connais-moi avant de tuer ce que je veux être
And leave me cold
Et me laisse froid
Bled white
Saigné blanc
And feeling old
Et me sentir vieux
Far on my way
Loin sur mon chemin
I should know, I was born here
Je devrais le savoir, je suis ici
Know me--know all I am
Connais-moi - connais tout ce que je suis
Far on my way
Loin sur mon chemin
I was cold then I exploded
J'étais froid puis j'ai explosé
Know me
Connais-moi
Know me...
Connais-moi...
