Other Plans

Grab the moment and then the moment's gone
Time won't circle back, what's done is done
I stand completely still in what this summer is
The heat hasn't been so cold in many, many years
What an amazing thing, the whole world has a chance
To have a happening and surrender other plans
I'm not gonna melt, frozen in the Sun
Curled up inside a shell, away from everyone
I stand completely still in what this summer is
The heat hasn't been so cold in many, many years
What an amazing thing, there's so much work to do
And the flowеrs in the spring, I know that they will bloom
Je nе puis vivre personnellement sans mon art
Mais je n'ai jamais placé cet art au-dessus de tout
S'il m'est nécessaire au contraire
C'est qu'il ne se sépare de personne
Et me permet de vivre tel que je suis au niveau de tous
L'art n'est pas à mes yeux une réjouissance solitaire
Il est un moyen d'émouvoir le plus grand nombre d'hommes
The house is locked, but the footsteps haven't stopped
Out there on the street, they're workin' 'round the clock
I can hear the music play from the brass band in the park
They play until the lights come on and walk home in the dark
I stand completely still in what this summer is
The heat hasn't been so cold in many, many years
What an amazing thing, the whole world has a chance
To have a happening and surrender other plans
Toutes les armées de la tyrannie avec leurs millions d'hommes
Ne l'enlèveront pas à la solitude
Même et surtout s'il consent à prendre leurs pas
Mais le silence d'un prisonnier inconnu
Abandonné aux humiliations à l'autre bout du monde
Suffit à retirer l'écrivain de l'exil
Chaque fois, du moins, qu'il parvient
Au milieu des privilèges de la liberté
À ne pas oublier ce silence et à le remédier
Pour le faire retentir par les moyens de l'art
