Testo e traduzione
Verse
Our oldest angel cannot find her reading glasses.
Notre ange la plus âgée cherche ses lunettes.
Her paper wings keep brushing against the lectern.
Ses ailes de papier frôlent sans cesse le pupitre.
She takes the sheet she folded in her handbag.
Elle prend la feuille pliée dans son sac.
The village waits for news from distant heaven.
Le village attend des nouvelles du ciel lointain.
Chorus
The last bus leaves at eight ten.
Le dernier bus part à vingt heures dix.
Our angel requires a ticket for each bag.
Notre ange exige un billet pour chaque bagage.
A driver in the front row checks his watch.
Un conducteur au premier rang regarde sa montre.
The shepherds try to keep their solemn faces.
Les bergers essaient de garder leurs visages solennels.
Verse
She reads the stops beyond the frozen mill.
Elle lit les arrêts après le moulin gelé.
The little shepherd notices the glasses in her hair.
Le petit berger voit les lunettes sur sa tête.
He points above her halo with his wooden staff.
Il pointe son bâton de bois vers son auréole.
She finds them and discovers the wrong page.
Elle les retrouve et découvre la mauvaise page.
Chorus
The last bus leaves at eight ten.
Le dernier bus part à vingt heures dix.
Our angel requires a ticket for each bag.
Notre ange exige un billet pour chaque bagage.
A driver in the front row checks his watch.
Un conducteur au premier rang regarde sa montre.
The shepherds try to keep their solemn faces.
Les bergers essaient de garder leurs visages solennels.
Bridge
She smiles and says that angels welcome travelers.
Elle dit souriante que les anges accueillent les voyageurs.
In the front row, the driver bows.
Au premier rang, le conducteur fait une révérence.
She promises to finish before his last departure.
Elle promet de finir avant son dernier départ.
Then reads her proper lines with both feet planted.
Puis elle lit son texte, les deux pieds posés.
Chorus
Our angel requires a ticket for each bag.
Notre ange exige un billet pour chaque bagage.
A driver in the front row checks his watch.
Un conducteur au premier rang regarde sa montre.
The shepherds try to keep their solemn faces.
Les bergers essaient de garder leurs visages solennels.
Outro
Outside he holds the door for paper wings.
Dehors il tient la porte aux ailes de papier.
Our angel keeps her glasses on until she boards.
Notre ange garde ses lunettes jusqu'à la montée.
