Текст и перевод песни Maria Callas - Carmen: Carreau, pique... la mort!

Carmen: Carreau, pique... la mort!

Voyons, que j′essaie à mon tour,
Let's see, I′ll try a turn
Carreau, pique... la mort!
Diamond, spade... death!
J'ai bien lu... moi d'abord.
I read it well... me first.
Ensuite lui... pour tous les deux la mort! Then him... for both all death!

En vain pour éviter les réponses amères,
In vain in order to avoid harsh remarks,
En vain tu mêleras;
In vain you shuffle,
Cela ne sert à rien, les cartes
That settles nothing, the cards
Sont sincères et ne mentiront pas!
Are sincere and won′t lie!
Dans le livre d′en haut
In the book on high
Si ta page est heureuse,
If your page is happy,
Mêle et coupe sans peur,
Shuffle and cut without fear
La carte sous tes doigts
The card under your fingers
Se tournera joyeuse,
Will turn itself up happily
T'annonçant le bonheur.
Announcing its good luck
Mais si tu dois mourir,
But if you must die,
Si le mot redoutable
If the dreaded word
Est écrit par le sort,
Is written by fate,
Recommence vingt fois,
Try again 20 times,
La carte impitoyable
The pitiless card
Répétera: la mort!
Again: death!
Encor! Encor! Toujours la mort!
Again! Again! Always death!
Encore! De désespoir!
Again! Despair!
Toujours la mort!
Always death!

Carmen: Carreau, pique... la mort!

Let's see, I'll try a turn,
Let's see, I′ll try a turn
Diamond, spade... death!
Diamond, spade... death!
I read it well... me first.
I read it well... me first.
Then him... for both all death! Then him... for both all death!

In vain in order to avoid harsh remarks,
In vain in order to avoid harsh remarks,
In vain you shuffle,
In vain you shuffle,
That settles nothing, the cards
That settles nothing, the cards
Are sincere and won′t lie!
Are sincere and won′t lie!
In the book on high
In the book on high
If your page is happy,
If your page is happy,
Shuffle and cut without fear
Shuffle and cut without fear
The card under your fingers
The card under your fingers
Will turn itself up happily
Will turn itself up happily
Announcing its good luck
Announcing its good luck
But if you must die,
But if you must die,
If the dreaded word
If the dreaded word
Is written by fate,
Is written by fate,
Try again 20 times,
Try again 20 times,
The pitiless card
The pitiless card
Again: death!
Again: death!
Again! Again! Always death!
Again! Again! Always death!
Again! Despair!
Again! Despair!
Always death!
Always death!
