Текст и перевод песни Paupière - Howard Carter

Howard Carter

Toutankhamon, onzième pharaon
Depuis trois milles ans, des victimes, il attend
Un cobra l'a avalé
Cette mouche qui l'a piqué
Toutankhamon, onzième pharaon
De son tombeau, ils s'en sortent en lambeaux
Un cobra l'a avalé
Cette mouche qui l'a piqué
Un cobra l'a avalé
Sa flute ne l'a charmée
Un cobra l'a avalé
Symbole des dieux volés
A force de trop chercher
Des trésors bien gardés
Sa perte il a causé
Son voyage terminé
Son visage infecté
En pensant tout gagner
D'exhumer le passé
A fini par le tuer
Un cobra l'a avalé
Cette mouche qui l'a piqué
Toutankhamon, onzième pharaon

Howard Carter

Tutankhamun, eleventh pharaoh
For three thousand years lying in wait for more victims
A cobra has swallowed him
That fly has bitten him
Tutankhamun, eleventh pharaoh
From his tomb they come out in tatters
A cobra has swallowed him
That fly has bitten him
A cobra has swallowed him
His flute could not charm her
A cobra has swallowed him
Stolen symbol of the gods
Too much digging
For treasure to be had
Has been his undoing
His journey now is finished
His face finally faded
Searching for a prize
Digging up the past
Has been the end of him
A cobra has swallowed him
That fly has bitten him
Tutankhamun, eleventh pharaoh
