Marta Wainwright et Snow Patrol - Set the fire to the third bar

Voici une très belle chanson des Snow Patrol, comme d'habitude, toujours aussi belles. Sans oublier la sublime voix de Marta Wainwright qui accompagne ce merveilleux texte évoquant une relation d'amour entres deux personnes qui, malencontreusement, vivent à plusieurs kilomètres de distance...

Voici donc une traduction du Refrain :

I'm miles from where you are,
Je suis à des kilomètres de toi
I lay down on the cold ground
Je m'allonge sur le sol froid
And I, I pray that something picks me up
Et je, Je pries que quelque chose me prenne
And sets me down in your warm arms
Et me mette dans tes bras tièdes

I find the map and draw a straight line 
Over rivers, farms, and state lines
The distance from a to where you'd b
It's only finger-lengths that I see
I touch the place
Where I'd find your face
My fingers in creases of distant dark places

I hang my coat up in the first bar
There is no peace that I've found so far
The laughter penetrates my silence
As drunken men find flaws in science

Their words mostly noises
Ghosts with just voices
Your words in my memory
Are like music to me

I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
And I, I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms

After I have travelled so far
We'd set the fire to the third bar
We'd share each other like an island
Until exhausted, close our eyelids
And dreaming, pick up from
The last place we left off
Your soft skin is weeping
A joy you can't keep in

I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
And I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms

And miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
and I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms

Je suis fan de leur dernier album, je l'écoute en boucle. Cette chanson fait partie de mes préférées avec "Chasing cars" et "Make this go on forever".
