| Version française – LE PILOTE D'HIROSHIMA – Marco Valdo M.I.... |
THE PILOT OF HIROSHIMA | LE PILOTE D'HIROSHIMA |
| |
Outside in the world, who knows where, | En dehors du monde qui sait où |
or upside in heaven, among eternal heroes, | Ou en haut dans le ciel parmi les héros éternels, |
but in the eternal, deepest depths | Mais au plus profond de son éternité, |
lives a man, and he lives in his hell. | Un homme vit, un homme vit son enfer. |
| |
His mouth doesn’t talk anymore, | Sa bouche ne parle plus, |
he doesn’t sleep anymore in his nights. | Ses nuits, il ne les dort plus, |
He’s hidden behind his thoughts, | Il se cache derrière ses pensées, |
a man is dying, and he doesn’t know the truth. | Un homme meurt, un homme meurt sans sa vérité. |
| |
The pilot of Hiroshima, | Le Pilote d'Hiroshima |
a rude man just like John Wayne, | Un dur à la John Wayne |
dark green raybans, war was his job | Rya Ban sombres, son travail était la guerre, |
but in his eyes | Mais dans ses yeux, |
he kept that kid down there. | Un gamin sur la terre. |
| |
Outside in the world, who knows where | En dehors du monde qui sait où, |
in the sky reflecting in the pond | Dans le reflet du ciel sur un étang, |
the vapour trail of his airplane | Traîne encore la trace de vapeur |
and of those hours is still creeping | De son avion et de ces heures. |
| |
The pilot of Hiroshima, | Le Pilote d'Hiroshima |
a rude man just like John Wayne, | Un dur à la John Wayne |
dark green raybans, war war his job | Ray Ban sombres, son travail était la guerre, |
but in his eyes | Mais dans ses yeux, |
he kept that kid down there. | Un gamin sur la terre. |
| |
He hears a wingbeat, | Il sent battre ses ailes, |
he feels cold all around him, | Il sent le froid tout autour de lui |
he sees the dazzling lights | Il voit les lumières d'une lumière plus aveuglante |
of that sun exploding in a moment. | Que celle du soleil, exploser en un instant. |
