Eugénie - Vents contraires dalszöveg fordítás angol nyelvre

Adverse winds

Weirdness is on my heels
Winters seem a bit shy to me,
they lack sparkle.
Under the bedsheets where we used to make love1
I pore over this smell of cold tobacco
that is vanishing.
 
Faced with this beautiful sham
I race away
from this sweet fool's poison2
and I'm driving alone,
tired of the adverse winds,
away from this sweet fool's poison.
 
Away from this sweet fool's poison
Away from this sweet fool's poison
 
You got me, I'm KO
I'm drowning3 in your pale green eyes4
and I'm giving out.
In the antechamber
I spend my time waiting.
My heart is dark,
it could well suspend itself5
 
Faced with this beautiful sham
I race away
from this sweet fool's poison
and I'm driving alone,
tired of the adverse winds,
away from this sweet fool's poison.
 
Away from this sweet fool's poison
Away from this sweet fool's poison
 
Faced with this beautiful sham
I race away
from this sweet fool's poison
and I'm driving alone,
tired of the adverse winds,
away from this sweet fool's poison.
 
Away from this sweet fool's poison
Away from this sweet fool's poison
 
And I'm driving alone,
tired of the adverse winds,
away from this sweet fool's poison.
 

• 1. 'émois' is a really mild euphemism that sounds rather foppish here, but I'm too lazy to think up an equivalent
• 2. a somewhat misused (and quite overused) pun on 'poisson d'avril' ('april fish', an April fool's joke) and 'poison d'avril' ('April poison', which has no special meaning except a poison that would be there just in April).
  The same pun was used in only a few months ago, except the song had something to do with the sea. Here this fish just pops out of nowhere and falls wriggling on the tarmac
• 3. 'boire la tasse' ('drink the cup') is more like unwillingly swallowing a gulp of water while swimming, but can also mean 'drowning'
• 4. 'menthe à l'eau' is mint syrup with water, but it can evoke pale green eyes, mostly due to
• 5. 'se suspendre' really does not mean anything. It could be 'hang up from something' or 'make a pause' (except that would be used for a process, like a computer program, not an object). Nothing that would make sense here, really.
  I can hardly guess what the intended meaning was. Her heart will hang itself in despair, maybe? That would have been 'se pendre', but maybe she needed another syllable to fill the meter or something?

This translation does not claim to be of any particular value.
Glad if you liked it, sorry if you didn't.
You can reuse it as you please.
Glad if it's for knowledge or understanding, sorry if it's just for money or fame.
