UN JOUR VIENDRA Lyrics English Translation by MANAU
As daybreak comes and knocks on the doors,
Men bearing stronger arms emerge outdoors.
They scoff, indeed, at these close-quarter clashes,
Of all those men who knew to incite such clashes.
Feeling the breath of hands, making a stand, yes, I know,
The malicious barking, the provocations, that’s what I know.
Never forget that I belong to an era, if you please,
Youthful nonsense, I disregard; I push it with ease.
Nothing around me is more present than my past,
So, do not fear, my man, you see, everything will last.
The enemy is here, yet I laugh at these hounds,
I know there’s someone out there, a fighter who resounds.
Who wants to be a man of iron,
Who has lived through hell, under the eyes of fathers.
And then, without landmarks, he will only have to
Bring me down, the story of war.
Nothing is different, and yet, I sense the end,
A strange and elegant torment, that provides.
I know that life never ends very well,
I have chosen to laugh at my destiny.
A day will come when time will be less important,
Than our memories of twenty years,
Our laughter, and all our songs.
A day will come, it’s unsettling,
Everything will be more present,
The women of our lives, the children,
And all our feelings.
If I am an expert in my clear death,
It’s because everything is clear, nothing is deliberate.
Frozen, like a stone, a day of reckoning,
After my ordeal, say a prayer.
Should I believe the druids, the seers, or the sorcerers,
Those who predicted without hesitation, in this valley.
It’s a never-ending day that will strike and impose,
On this story that I did not want to end.
Preparing to fight better satisfies me,
Playing often with fire,
It gave me the desire to be strong,
And above all, much more courageous,
Than your eyes made me happy.
A day will come when time will be less important,
Than our memories of twenty years,
Our laughter, and all our songs.
A day will come, it’s unsettling,
Everything will be more present,
The women of our lives, the children,
And all our feelings.
I believe it’s time to finally sit in this field,
And for once, contemplate the setting sun.
My very last time arrives, that’s it, yes, but still,
When a druid drinks, in fact, he doesn’t really know.
After a few glasses, what he said in glass,
The night, father, completely green.
No criterion can silence him anymore,
Life, cemeteries, trolls, sorcerers.
Is everything he predicted just a delusion,
If it wasn’t today that I had to leave.
To the other side, where the valiant gather,
This day that ends now.
A day will come when time will be less important,
Than our memories of twenty years,
Our laughter, and all our songs.
A day will come, it’s unsettling,
Everything will be more present,
The women of our lives, the children,
And all our feelings.
A day will come when time will be less important,
Than our memories of twenty years,
Our laughter, and all our songs.
A day will come, it’s unsettling,
Everything will be more present,
The women of our lives, the children,
And all our feelings.
A day will come,
A day will come,
A day will come.
