The Bridge Over The Trouble Water

[son2cloche]

Simon and Garfunkel
Duo folk américain. Paul Simon et Art Garfunkel ont grandi ensemble. Ils composent côte à côte dès l'adolescence. Malgré un passage dans l'émission American Bandstand en 57, il faudra attendre 1964 pour que leur collaboration se professionnalise, grâce à l'album Wednesday Morning 3 A.M.. Au fil du temps, le tandem est devenu un mythe, imposant les classiques The Sound Of Silence, Scarborough Fair et Mrs. Robinson. En 1970, le groupe se sépare, mais se reformera pour quelques occasions, dont le légendaire concert à Central Park en 81.

THE SOUND OF SILENCE

[Gironimoo]

Paul Simon

like a bridge over trouble water l'une de mes préferée ... en voci les paroles que j'ai trouver dans un site

When you're weary Lorsque tu seras las
Feeling small Mélancolique
When tears are in your eyes Lorsque les larmes
viendront à tes yeux
I will dry them all Je les sècherai toutes

I'm on your side Je serai près de toi
When times get rough Quand les heures deviendront rudes
And friends just can't be found Et que les amis demeureront
simplement introuvables
Like a bridge over troubled water Tel un pont enjambant l'eau trouble
I will lay me down Je me sacrifierai
Like a bridge over troubled water Tel un pont enjambant l'eau trouble
I will lay me down Je serai une soutien

When you're down and out Quant tu seras sur la paille
When you're on the street Quand tu seras à la rue
When evening falls so hard Quand le soir tombera si rudement
I will comfort you Je te réconforterai

I'll take your part Je prendrai ta défense
When darkness comes Lorsque les ténèbres apparaîtront
And pain is all around Et que la souffrance sera omniprésente
Like a bridge over troubled water Tel un pont enjambant l'eau trouble
I will lay me down Je me sacrifierai
Like a bridge over troubled water Tel un pont enjambant l'eau trouble
I will lay me down Je serai une soutien

Sail on Silver Girl Vogue Fille d'Argent
Sail on by Vogue dans le sillage
Your time has come to shine L'heure est venue pour toi de briller
All your dreams are on their way Tous tes rêves vont s'accomplir

See how they shine Vois comme ils brillent
If you need a friend Si tu as besoin d'un ami
I'm sailing right behind Je navigue juste derrière
Like a bridge over troubled water Tel un pont enjambant l'eau trouble
I will ease your mind J'apaiserai ton esprit
Like a bridge over troubled water Tel un pont enjambant l'eau trouble
I will ease your mind J'apaiserai ton esprit

Mes preferees sont dans l'ordre:

• The Boxer
• The sound of silence
• The bridge over troubled water
• Scarborough Fair ( pour sa mélodie envoutante)

Ecoute ces titres et donnes m'en des nouvelles.

[son2cloche]

Mais aussi "The 59th Street Bridge Song"
Et "Mrs Robinson" etc...etc enfin tout !! y a rien à jeter !!

[Gironimoo]

Son2cloche et Joce

The Boxer
The sound of silence
The bridge over troubled water
Scarborough Fair ( pour sa mélodie envoutante)
Ecoute ces titres et donnes m'en des nouvelles.

tu parles je les ai toutes un vrai bonheur!
j'aime aussi "El Condore Passo" mais "like a bridge" restera pour moi un moment de méditation unique.
sinon y'a aussi ...

I am just a poor boy.
Though my story's seldom told,
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocketful of mumbles,
Such are promises
All lies and jest
Still, a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest.
When I left my home and my family,
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station,
Running scared, laying low,
Seeking out the poorer quarters
Where the ragged people go,
Looking for the places
Only they would know.

Lie-la-lie ...

Asking only workman's wages
I come looking for a job,
But I get no offers,
Just a come-on from the whores
On Seventh Avenue.
I do declare,
There were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there.

Now the years are rolling by me,
They are rocking evenly.
I am older than I once was,
Younger than I'll be,
That's not unusual.
No, it isn't strange,
After changes upon changes,
We are more or less the same.
After changes we are more or less the same.

Lie-la-lie ...

Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
And wishing I was gone
Going home
Where the New York City winters
Aren't bleeding me,
Leading me,
Going home.

In the clearing stands a boxer,
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of ev'ry glove that laid him down
Or cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame,
"I am leaving, I am leaving."
But the fighter still remains.

I have squan cri dered cri my resistance cri
For a cricri pocketful of cricri mumbles,
Such cri are promises cri

Mrs Robinson

And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know
God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray

We'd like to know a little bit about you for our files
We'd like to help you learn to help yourself
Look around you, all you see are sympathetic eyes
Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home

And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know
God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray

Hide it in a hiding place where no one ever goes
Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes
It's a little secret, just the Robinsons' affair
Most of all, you've got to hide it from the kids

Coo, coo, ca-choo, Mrs Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know
God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray

Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon
Going to the candidates debate
Laugh about it, shout about it
When you've got to choose
Ev'ry way you look at it, you lose

Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio
A nation turns its lonely eyes to you
What's that you say, Mrs. Robinson
Joltin' Joe has left and gone away

'Sacco et Vanzetti est de Joan Baez mais ils la chantent sur un CD.
