Spinning Song
Nicholas Cave
Once there was a song, the song yearned to be sung
It was a spinning song about the king of rock 'n' roll
The king was first a young prince, the prince was the best
With his black jelly hair he crashed onto a stage in Vegas
The king had a queen, the queen's hair was a stairway
She tended the castle garden, and in the garden planted a tree
The garden tree was a stairway, it was sixteen branches high
On the top branch was a nest, sing the high cloudy nest
In the nest there was a bird, the bird had a wing
The wing had a feather, spin the feather and sing the wind
The king in time died, the queen's heart broke like a vow
And the tree returned to the earth with the nest and the bird
But the feather spun upward, upward and upward
Spinning all the weather vanes
And you're sitting at the kitchen table, listening to the radio
And I love you, and I love you, and I love you, and I love you
And I love you, and I love you, and I love you
Peace will come, and peace will come, and peace will come in time
Time will come, and time will come, a time will come for us
Peace will come, and peace will come, and peace will come in time
Time will come, and time will come, a time will come for us
Once there was a song, the song yearned to be sung
Il était une fois une chanson, la chanson aspirait à être chantée
It was a spinning song about the king of rock 'n' roll
C'était une chanson tournoyante sur le roi du rock 'n' roll
The king was first a young prince, the prince was the best
Le roi était d'abord un jeune prince, le prince était le meilleur
With his black jelly hair he crashed onto a stage in Vegas
Avec ses cheveux de gelée noire, il a débarqué sur une scène à Vegas
The king had a queen, the queen's hair was a stairway
Le roi avait une reine, les cheveux de la reine étaient un escalier
She tended the castle garden, and in the garden planted a tree
Elle s'occupait du jardin du château, et dans le jardin plantait un arbre
The garden tree was a stairway, it was sixteen branches high
L'arbre du jardin était un escalier, il avait seize branches de haut
On the top branch was a nest, sing the high cloudy nest
Sur la branche la plus haute se trouvait un nid, chante le nid haut dans les nuages
In the nest there was a bird, the bird had a wing
Dans le nid il y avait un oiseau, l'oiseau avait une aile
The wing had a feather, spin the feather and sing the wind
L'aile avait une plume, fais tourner la plume et chante le vent
The king in time died, the queen's heart broke like a vow
Le roi est mort avec le temps, le cœur de la reine s'est brisé comme un vœu
And the tree returned to the earth with the nest and the bird
Et l'arbre est retourné à la terre avec le nid et l'oiseau
But the feather spun upward, upward and upward
Mais la plume a tourné vers le haut, vers le haut et vers le haut
Spinning all the weather vanes
Faisant tourner toutes les girouettes
And you're sitting at the kitchen table, listening to the radio
Et tu es assis à la table de la cuisine, écoutant la radio
And I love you, and I love you, and I love you, and I love you
Et je t'aime, et je t'aime, et je t'aime, et je t'aime
And I love you, and I love you, and I love you
Et je t'aime, et je t'aime, et je t'aime
Peace will come, and peace will come, and peace will come in time
La paix viendra, et la paix viendra, et la paix viendra avec le temps
Time will come, and time will come, a time will come for us
Le temps viendra, et le temps viendra, un temps viendra pour nous
Peace will come, and peace will come, and peace will come in time
La paix viendra, et la paix viendra, et la paix viendra avec le temps
Time will come, and time will come, a time will come for us
Le temps viendra, et le temps viendra, un temps viendra pour nous
Once there was a song, the song yearned to be sung
Havia uma vez uma canção, a canção ansiava ser cantada
It was a spinning song about the king of rock 'n' roll
Era uma canção giratória sobre o rei do rock 'n' roll
The king was first a young prince, the prince was the best
O rei era primeiro um jovem príncipe, o príncipe era o melhor
With his black jelly hair he crashed onto a stage in Vegas
Com seu cabelo preto de gelatina, ele se lançou num palco em Vegas
The king had a queen, the queen's hair was a stairway
O rei tinha uma rainha, o cabelo da rainha era uma escada
She tended the castle garden, and in the garden planted a tree
Ela cuidava do jardim do castelo, e no jardim plantou uma árvore
The garden tree was a stairway, it was sixteen branches high
A árvore do jardim era uma escada, tinha dezesseis galhos de altura
On the top branch was a nest, sing the high cloudy nest
No galho mais alto havia um ninho, cante o ninho alto nas nuvens
In the nest there was a bird, the bird had a wing
No ninho havia um pássaro, o pássaro tinha uma asa
The wing had a feather, spin the feather and sing the wind
A asa tinha uma pena, gire a pena e cante o vento
The king in time died, the queen's heart broke like a vow
O rei morreu com o tempo, o coração da rainha se partiu como um voto
And the tree returned to the earth with the nest and the bird
E a árvore retornou à terra com o ninho e o pássaro
But the feather spun upward, upward and upward
Mas a pena girou para cima, para cima e para cima
Spinning all the weather vanes
Girando todas as birutas
And you're sitting at the kitchen table, listening to the radio
E você está sentado à mesa da cozinha, ouvindo o rádio
And I love you, and I love you, and I love you, and I love you
E eu te amo, e eu te amo, e eu te amo, e eu te amo
And I love you, and I love you, and I love you
E eu te amo, e eu te amo, e eu te amo
Peace will come, and peace will come, and peace will come in time
A paz virá, e a paz virá, e a paz virá com o tempo
Time will come, and time will come, a time will come for us
O tempo virá, e o tempo virá, um tempo virá para nós
Peace will come, and peace will come, and peace will come in time
A paz virá, e a paz virá, e a paz virá com o tempo
Time will come, and time will come, a time will come for us
O tempo virá, e o tempo virá, um tempo virá para nós

In the nest there was a bird, the bird had a wing

The king in time died, the queen's heart broke like a vow
Mit der Zeit starb der König, das Herz der Königin brach wie ein Gelübde
And the tree returned to the earth with the nest and the bird
Und der Baum kehrte mit dem Nest und dem Vogel zur Erde zurück

Spinning all the weather vanes
Alle Wetterfahnen drehend
And you're sitting at the kitchen table, listening to the radio
Und du sitzt am Küchentisch und hörst das Radio
And I love you, and I love you, and I love you, and I love you

The king was first a young prince, the prince was the best

Spinning all the weather vanes
