Paroles et traduction de la chanson «Body In A Box» par City And Colour

Body In A Box (Corps dans une boîte)

There's a funeral procession on the highway,
Traffic screeches to a halt.
There's people searching for a better way,
To live their lives.
Johnny lived a good life, you'll hear them say
As tears of sadness soak the ground.
The reaper crept in, took his breath away,
In the middle of the night.

We celebrate the lives of the dead,
It's like a man's best party,
Only happens when he dies.
We gather 'round to pay our respects,
While their souls are still searching for the light,
Searching for the light.

So please don't come to me on my dying day,
Just let me go in peace.
With all the things that I forgot to say,
Racing through my mind.
And don't you bury me six feet under ground,
Just burn my body in a box.
And let my ashes blow with the wind,
Out into the night sky.

There's a funeral procession on the highway,
Il y a un enterrement sur la route,
Traffic screeches to a halt.
Le traffic hurlant s'arrête un instant.
There's people searching for a better way,
Il y a des personnes qui cherchent une meilleur façon
To live their lives.
De vivrent leurs vies.
Johnny lived a good life, you'll hear them say
Johnny à vécu une bonne vie, vous les entenderez dire.
As tears of sadness soak the ground.
Pendant que leurs larmes de tristesse trempent le sol
The reaper crept in, took his breath away,
La faucheuse est venue prendre son souffle au loin
In the middle of the night.
Au milieu de la nuit

We celebrate the lives of the dead,
On célèbre la vie des morts
It's like a man's best party,
C'est comme si le meilleur party d'un homme,
Only happens when he dies.
Arrivait seulement lorsqu'il meurt
We gather 'round to pay our respects,
Ont rassemblent des rondes pour payer notre respect
While their souls are still searching for the light,
Pedant que ses âmes continues de chercher la lumière
Searching for the light.
Chercher la lumière

So please don't come to me on my dying day,
Alors, s'il te plait ne vien pas vers moi dans mes jour mourrants
Just let me go in peace.
Laisse moi partir en paix
With all the things that I forgot to say,
Avec toutes les choses que j'ai oubliées de dire
Racing through my mind.
Qui cours à travers mon esprit
And don't you bury me six feet under ground,
Et ne m'enterre pas 6 pieds sous terre
Just burn my body in a box.
Fait juste brûler mon corps dans une boîte
And let my ashes blow with the wind,
Et laisse aller mes cendres avec le vent,
Out into the night sky.
Dans le ciel de la nuit.
