ABBA - Cassandra French translation lyrics

Cassandra

Au bout de la rue, tous chantent et crient.
Survivant alors même que la citée est morte
Cachant leurs hontes derrière des rires creux
Pendant que tu pleures toute seule dans ton lit
Pauvre Cassandra, que personne ne croyait
D'un autre côté, tu étais perdue d'avance.
Maintenant il nous faut souffrir et livrer nos secrets (1)
Marchander, ruser, souffrir dans nos cœurs. (1)
[REFRAIN]
Désolé Cassandra je me suis trompé
Maintenant le dernier jour se termine
Certains d'entre nous auraient voulu, mais aucun n'a pu
Écouter tes avertissements.
Mais dans l'obscurité de la nuit.
Personne ne savait se battre.
Et nous avons été pris dans notre sommeil.
Désolé Cassandra, je ne te croyais pas.
Tu avais vraiment le pouvoir
Je n'y voyais qu'un rêve que tu voulais tisser
Jusqu'à la dernière heure.
Ainsi au matin, ton bateau partira
Maintenant que ton père et ta sœur s'en sont allés
Tu n'as pas de raisons de t'attarder.
Tu es profondément affligée, mais avance tout de même
Tu sais que l'avenir projette une ombre.
Nul autre ne le vois, mais tu connais ton destin.
Emballant tes bagages, lentement et consciencieusement.
Sachant, bien que tu sois en retard, que ce bateau t'attendras
[REFRAIN]
Je regardais le bateau, quitter le port à l'aube
 Les voiles presque immobiles sous la pluie fraîche du matin.
 Elle se tenait debout sur pont, une silhouette minuscule.
 Rigide et fermée, les yeux bleus remplis de peine.
 Désolé Cassandra
 Désolé Cassandra

Cassandra

Down in the street they’re all singing and shouting
Staying alive though the city is dead
Hiding their shame behind hollow laughter
While you are crying alone in your bed

Pity Cassandra that no one believed you
But then again you were lost from the start
Now we must suffer and sell our secrets
Bargain, playing smart, aching in our hearts

Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood
Now the last day is dawning
Some of us wanted but none of us could
Listen to words of warning
But on the darkest of nights
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleep
Sorry Cassandra I didn’t believe
You really had the power
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
Until the final hour

So in the morning your ship will be sailing
Now that your father and sister are gone
There is no reason for you to linger
You’re grieving deeply but still moving on
You know the future is casting a shadow
No one else sees it but you know you’re fate
Packing your bags, being slow and thorough
Knowing, though you’re late, that ship is sure to wait

Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood
Now the last day is dawning
Some of us wanted but none of us could
Listen to words of warning
But on the darkest of nights
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleep
Sorry Cassandra I didn’t believe
You really had the power
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
Until the final hour

I watched the ship leaving harbor at midnight
Sails almost slack in the cool morning rain
She stood on deck, just a tiny figure
Rigid and restrained, blue eyes filled with pain
Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood
Now the last day is dawning
Some of us wanted but none of us could
Listen to words of warning
But on the darkest of nights
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleep
Sorry Cassandra I didn’t believe
You really had the power
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
Until the final hour

I’m sorry Cassandra
I’m sorry Cassandra
