Gérard Manset - Manteau rouge versuri traducere în engleză

Red coat

Because they told me to hold his arm
And look at the needle shoved in
You don't get always lucky
You bend down, you fall, you move on
 
You slip the red coat on, trees move and the sky is going to fall down
You never know, tomorrow, tonight, what day, what time it's gonna stop
You hide, you crawl, you swallow, you struggle to stay up
You look in front, the danger passes, just bend your neck
 
Behind the border
Where banana trees were felled
You'll find helmets and stretchers
And the jeeps of orderlies
 
We are all same, there's nothing else to do
Than writing on a piece of paper
The tough time we have on the other side of the earth
While looking at bombs falling down
 
But on the other bank of the river
You've got men eating dogs
Women afraid of daylight
Without milk left in their breast
 
You hurry, you get there and you walk past
Maybe there's something to see
You stop on the brim of the bruning hole
There's a guy who sells drinks
 
You slip the red coat on, trees move and the sky is going to fall down
You never know, tomorrow, tonight, what day, what time it's gonna stop
You hide, you crawl, you swallow, you struggle to stay up
You look in front, the danger passes, just bend your neck
 
But behind the border
Where banana trees were felled
You don't always get beer
And you wonder what happened
 
Now close your eyes, switch the small light off
And forget everything
Women who fell in the rice fields
Children dead from starvation
Women who fell in the rice fields
Children dead from starvation
 
One day in an armchair, smoking a cigar
By the Mediterranean sea
You'll have lots of people coming to see me
And ask to be told
But nothing more rotten than my memory
I won't even remember how to count
But nothing more rotten than my memory
I won't even remember how to count
My life will be a big black hole
With dead bodies burried inside
 
As if someone had pushed me suddenly in the void
The big wet checkerboards in the delta
Magic of the night like a red anaconda killed in an acid bath
Magic of the night like a red anaconda killed in an acid bath
 
There's only one micron (?)
 
You never know, tomorrow, what day, what time
You hide, you swallow, you struggle
You look in front, the danger passes, just bend your neck
You slip... you slip the red coat on, and trees move, and the sky...
