Lyrics of Le saule - Tryo

Le saule (original)

Dchir par le vent, us par le temps
tu es dj pass devant, un vieux merle vit dedans
Abm par les enfants, dlaiss par les parents
Encercl de btiments, arros de temps en temps
Il meurt n’esprime pas sa douleur
Entre le froid et la chaleur, l’chap’ment des moteurs
Il crve, puise dans sa sve, pour que ses branches s’lvent
Avant que le temps ne les achve
Taill par les couteaux, dpouill de sa peau
Mi-arbre, mi-copeau de vingt mtres de haut
Nourri de pluies acides, lav l’insecticide
Au milieu du grand vide, sa vie on la dcide
Abrit sous les feuilles, voisin d’un cureuil
Le vieux merle se recueille sur sa maison et son deuil
Comment vont vivre ses enfants?
Qui les abritera du vent?
Que peut-il faire maintenant pour celui qui en ce moment
Meurt, n’exprime pas sa douleur
Entre le froid et la chaleur, l’chap’ment des moteurs
il crve, puise dans sa sve, pour que ses branches s’lvent
Avant que le temps ne les achve

(translation)

Torn by the wind, worn by time
you've already passed, an old blackbird lives in it
Abm by children, neglected by parents
Surrounded by buildings, occasionally watered
He dies don't express his pain
Between the cold and the heat, the engine exhaust
He bursts, draws in his sap, so that his branches rise
Before time finishes them
Hewn by the knives, stripped of his skin
Half tree, half chip twenty meters tall
Fed on acid rain, washed off the insecticide
In the middle of the great void, his life is decided
Shelter under the leaves, next to a squirrel
The old blackbird meditates on his home and his mourning
How will her children live?
Who will shelter them from the wind?
What can he do now for one who at this moment
Die, don't express pain
Between the cold and the heat, the engine exhaust
he bursts, draws in his sap, so that his branches rise
Before time finishes them
