Qui vivra verra (original)Qui vivra verra (translation)
Dans les premiers froids de Madrid, j’habitais la Puerta del Sol In the first cold days of Madrid, I lived in the Puerta del Sol
Cette place, comme un grand vide, attendait quelque nouveau Cid This place, like a big void, was waiting for some new Cid
Don’t le manteau joncht le sol et recouvrt ces gueux sordides Don't the cloak litter the ground and cover these sordid beggars
Qu’on jette aux mendiants l’obole, montrez-moi le peuple espagnol Throw to beggars the mite, show me the Spanish people
Qui vivra verra, le temps roule roule Who will live will see, time rolls rolls
Qui vivra verra, quel sang coulera? Who will live will see, what blood will flow?
Passant les bourgs de terre cuite, les labours perchs dans les airs Passing the terracotta towns, the plowings perched in the air
Sur un chemin qui fait des huit On a path that makes figure eights
Comme aux doigts maigres des jsuites Like the skinny fingers of the Jesuits
Leur interminable rosaire, le vent qui met les rois en fuite Their endless rosary, the wind that puts kings to flight
Fouette un bourricot de misre vers l’Escorial-au-Dsert Whip a donkey of misery towards Escorial-au-Dsert
Qui vivra verra, le temps roule roule Who will live will see, time rolls rolls
Qui vivra verra, quel sang coulera? Who will live will see, what blood will flow?
D’o se peut-il qu’un enfant tire ce terrible et long crescendo? From where can a child get this terrible and long crescendo?
C’est la plainte qu’on ne peut dire, qui des entrailles doit sortir It is the complaint that cannot be said, which of the entrails must come out
La nuit arrachant son bandeau, c’est le cri du peuple martyr The night ripping off its blindfold is the cry of the martyred people
Qui vous enfonce dans le dos le poignard du cante jondo Who sticks the dagger of cante jondo in your back
Qui vivra verra, le temps roule roule Who will live will see, time rolls rolls
Qui vivra verra, quel sang coulera? Who will live will see, what blood will flow?
Qu’au son des guitares nomades, la gitane mime l’amour That to the sound of nomadic guitars, the gypsy mimics love
Les cheveux bleuis de pommade, l'њil fendu de Schhrazade Pomade blue hair, Schhrazade's slit eye
Et le pied de Boroboudour, il se fait soudain dans Grenade And the foot of Borobudour, it is suddenly done in Granada
Que saoule une nuit de vin lourd, un silence profond et sourd That drunk a night of heavy wine, a deep and deaf silence
Qui vivra verra, le temps roule roule Who will live will see, time rolls rolls
Qui vivra verra, quel sang coulera? Who will live will see, what blood will flow?
Il se fait soudain dans Grenade Suddenly it's done in Granada
Que saoule une nuit de sang lourd, une terrible promenade That drunk a night of heavy blood, a terrible walk
Il se fait soudain dans Grenade un grand silence de tambours.Suddenly there is a great silence of drums in Granada.
