Smell The Roses

George Roger Waters

Lyrics Translation

There's a mad dog pulling at his chain
A hint of danger in his eye
Alarm bells raging round his brain
And the chimney's broken in the sky

Wake up
Wake up and smell the roses
Close your eyes and pray this wind don't change
There's nothing but screams in the field of dreams
Nothing but hope at the end of the road
Nothing but gold in the chimney smoke
Come on honey it's real money

This is the room where they make the explosives
Where they put your name on the bomb
Here's where they bury the buts and the ifs
And scratch out words like right and wrong

Wake up
Wake up and smell the phosphorus
This is the room we keep a human heir
Don't ask, don't tell, it couldn't be lost for us
Yeah, little less cash in the stash in the cupboard
At the bottom of the stair
Money, honey

Wake up
Wake up and smell the bacon
Run your greasy fingers through her hair
This is the life that you have taken

Just a line in the captain's log
Just a whine from a resident dog
Another kid didn't make the grade
Come on honey it's a fair trade

Wake up
Wake up and smell the roses
Throw a photo on the funeral pyre
Yeah, now we can forget the threat she poses
Girl you know you couldn't get much higher

There's a mad dog pulling at his chain
Há um cão louco puxando sua corrente
A hint of danger in his eye
Um indício de perigo em seu olho
Alarm bells raging round his brain
Sinos de alarme rugindo em seu cérebro
And the chimney's broken in the sky
E a chaminé está quebrada no céu
Wake up
Acorde
Wake up and smell the roses
Acorde e cheire as rosas
Close your eyes and pray this wind don't change
Feche os olhos e reze para que este vento não mude
There's nothing but screams in the field of dreams
Não há nada além de gritos no campo dos sonhos
Nothing but hope at the end of the road
Nada além de esperança no fim da estrada
Nothing but gold in the chimney smoke
Nada além de ouro na fumaça da chaminé
Come on honey it's real money
Vamos, querida, é dinheiro de verdade
This is the room where they make the explosives
Este é o quarto onde eles fazem os explosivos
Where they put your name on the bomb
Onde eles colocam seu nome na bomba
Here's where they bury the buts and the ifs
Aqui é onde eles enterram os mas e os se
And scratch out words like right and wrong
E riscam palavras como certo e errado
Wake up
Acorde
Wake up and smell the phosphorus
Acorde e cheire o fósforo
This is the room we keep a human heir
Este é o quarto que guardamos um herdeiro humano
Don't ask, don't tell, it couldn't be lost for us
Não pergunte, não conte, não poderia ser perdido para nós
Yeah, little less cash in the stash in the cupboard
Sim, um pouco menos de dinheiro no esconderijo no armário
At the bottom of the stair
No fundo da escada
Money, honey
Dinheiro, querida
Wake up
Acorde
Wake up and smell the bacon
Acorde e cheire o bacon
Run your greasy fingers through her hair
Passe seus dedos gordurosos pelos cabelos dela
This is the life that you have taken
Esta é a vida que você tomou
Just a line in the captain's log
Apenas uma linha no registro do capitão
Just a whine from a resident dog
Apenas um lamento de um cão residente
Another kid didn't make the grade
Outra criança não passou de ano
Come on honey it's a fair trade
Vamos, querida, é uma troca justa
Wake up
Acorde
Wake up and smell the roses
Acorde e cheire as rosas
Throw a photo on the funeral pyre
Jogue uma foto na pira funerária
Yeah, now we can forget the threat she poses
Sim, agora podemos esquecer a ameaça que ela representa
Girl you know you couldn't get much higher
Garota, você sabe que não poderia ficar muito mais alta
There's a mad dog pulling at his chain
Hay un perro loco tirando de su cadena
A hint of danger in his eye
Un atisbo de peligro en su mirada
Alarm bells raging round his brain
Las alarmas enloquecen en su cerebro
And the chimney's broken in the sky
Y la chimenea está rota en el cielo
Wake up
Despierta
Wake up and smell the roses
Despierta y huele las rosas
Close your eyes and pray this wind don't change
Cierra los ojos y reza para que este viento no cambie
There's nothing but screams in the field of dreams
No hay nada más que gritos en el campo de los sueños
Nothing but hope at the end of the road
Nada más que esperanza al final del camino
Nothing but gold in the chimney smoke
Nada más que oro en el humo de la chimenea
Come on honey it's real money
Vamos cariño, es dinero real
This is the room where they make the explosives
Esta es la habitación donde hacen los explosivos
Where they put your name on the bomb
Donde ponen tu nombre en la bomba
Here's where they bury the buts and the ifs
Aquí es donde entierran los peros y los si
And scratch out words like right and wrong
Y tachan palabras como bien y mal
Wake up
Despierta
Wake up and smell the phosphorus
Despierta y huele el fósforo
This is the room we keep a human heir
Esta es la habitación donde guardamos un heredero humano
Don't ask, don't tell, it couldn't be lost for us
No preguntes, no digas, no podría perderse para nosotros
Yeah, little less cash in the stash in the cupboard
Sí, un poco menos de efectivo en el escondite en el armario
At the bottom of the stair
Al pie de la escalera
Money, honey
Dinero, cariño
Wake up
Despierta
Wake up and smell the bacon
Despierta y huele el bacon
Run your greasy fingers through her hair
Pasa tus dedos grasientos por su cabello
This is the life that you have taken
Esta es la vida que has tomado
Just a line in the captain's log
Solo una línea en el registro del capitán
Just a whine from a resident dog
Solo un lamento de un perro residente
Another kid didn't make the grade
Otro niño no alcanzó el grado
Come on honey it's a fair trade
Vamos cariño, es un trato justo
Wake up
Despierta
Wake up and smell the roses
Despierta y huele las rosas
Throw a photo on the funeral pyre
Tira una foto en la pira funeraria
Yeah, now we can forget the threat she poses
Sí, ahora podemos olvidar la amenaza que ella representa
Girl you know you couldn't get much higher
Chica, sabes que no podrías llegar mucho más alto
There's a mad dog pulling at his chain
Il y a un chien fou tirant sur sa chaîne
A hint of danger in his eye
Un soupçon de danger dans son regard
Alarm bells raging round his brain
Des alarmes hurlantes dans son cerveau
And the chimney's broken in the sky
Et la cheminée est cassée dans le ciel
Wake up
Réveille-toi
Wake up and smell the roses
Réveille-toi et sens les roses
Close your eyes and pray this wind don't change
Ferme les yeux et prie pour que ce vent ne change pas
There's nothing but screams in the field of dreams
Il n'y a rien que des cris dans le champ des rêves
Nothing but hope at the end of the road
Rien que de l'espoir au bout de la route
Nothing but gold in the chimney smoke
Rien que de l'or dans la fumée de la cheminée
Come on honey it's real money
Allez chérie, c'est de l'argent réel
This is the room where they make the explosives
C'est la pièce où ils fabriquent les explosifs
Where they put your name on the bomb
Où ils mettent ton nom sur la bombe
Here's where they bury the buts and the ifs
C'est ici qu'ils enterrent les mais et les si
And scratch out words like right and wrong
Et rayent des mots comme juste et faux
Wake up
Réveille-toi
Wake up and smell the phosphorus
Réveille-toi et sens le phosphore
This is the room we keep a human heir
C'est la pièce où nous gardons un héritier humain

At the bottom of the stair
Au bas de l'escalier

Juste une ligne dans le journal du capitaine
Just a whine from a resident dog
Juste une plainte d'un chien résident

Réveille-toi et sens les roses
Throw a photo on the funeral pyre
Jette une photo sur le bûcher funéraire

Fille, tu sais que tu ne pourrais pas monter beaucoup plus haut
There's a mad dog pulling at his chain
Da ist ein tollwütiger Hund, der an seiner Kette zieht
A hint of danger in his eye
Ein Hauch von Gefahr in seinem Auge
Alarm bells raging round his brain
Alarmglocken toben in seinem Gehirn

Nichts als Gold im Schornsteinrauch

Girl you know you couldn't get much higher
Mädchen, du weißt, du könntest nicht viel höher kommen
There's a mad dog pulling at his chain
C'è un cane pazzo che tira la sua catena
A hint of danger in his eye
Un accenno di pericolo nei suoi occhi
Alarm bells raging round his brain
Campane d'allarme impazzite nel suo cervello
And the chimney's broken in the sky
E il camino è rotto nel cielo
Wake up

Wake up and smell the roses
Svegliati e annusa le rose
Close your eyes and pray this wind don't change

Nothing but gold in the chimney smoke
Niente altro che oro nel fumo del camino

E cancellano parole come giusto e sbagliato

Just a whine from a resident dog
Solo un lamento da un cane residente

Wake up
Svegliati
Wake up and smell the roses
Svegliati e annusa le rose
