Paroles de For Absent Friends
Genesis
Sunday at six when they close both the gates
A widowed pair,
Still sitting there,
Wonder if theyre late for church
And its cold, so they fasten their coats
And cross the grass, theyre always last.
Passing by the padlocked swings,
The roundabout still turning,
Ahead they see a small girl
On her way home with a pram.
Inside the archway,
The priest greets them with a courteous nod.
Hes close to god.
Looking back at days of four instead of two.
Years seem so few (four instead of two).
Heads bent in prayer
For friends not there.
Leaving twopence on the plate,
They hurry down the path and through the gate
And wait to board the bus
That ambles down the street.

A Nos Chers Disparus
A widowed pair,
Deux veuves
Still sitting there,
Sont encore assises
Wonder if theyre late for church
Et se demandent si elles ne sont pas en retard pour l'office.
And its cold, so they fasten their coats
Et comme il fait froid, elles ferment leur manteau
And cross the grass, theyre always last.
Et traversent la pelouse, ce sont toujours les dernières.
Passant près des balançoires cadenassées
Passing by the padlocked swings,
Le manège tournant encore,
The roundabout still turning,
Elles aperçoivent devant elles une petite fille
Ahead they see a small girl
Qui rentre chez elle avec un landau.
On her way home with a pram.
Sous le porche
Le prêtre les accueille d'un signe de tête poli.
Inside the archway,
Il est proche de Dieu.
The priest greets them with a courteous nod.
Revoyant les jours où l'on était quatre et non deux
Hes close to god.
Il y a si peu d'années, dirait-on
Looking back at days of four instead of two.
Les têtes inclinées dans la prière
Years seem so few (four instead of two).
Pour les chers disparus.
Heads bent in prayer
Elles laissent deux pence dans l'assiette
For friends not there.
Descendent le sentier et passent le portail en se pressant
Et attendent le bus
Leaving twopence on the plate,
Qui descend lentement la rue.
They hurry down the path and through the gate
And wait to board the bus
That ambles down the street.
