Le vent souffle sur les plaines de la Bretagne armoricaine
Je jette un dernier regard sur ma femme, mon fils et mon domaine
Akim, le fils du forgeron est venu me chercher
Les druides ont décidé de mener le combat dans la vallée
Là où tous nos ancêtres, de géants guerriers Celtes
Après de grandes batailles se sont imposés en maîtres
C'est l'heure maintenant de défendre notre terre
Contre une armée de Cimmériens prête à croiser le fer
Toute la tribu s'est réunie autour de grands menhirs
Pour invoquer les Dieux afin qu'ils puissent nous bénir
Après cette prière avec mes frères sans faire état de zèle
Les chefs nous ont donné à tous des gorgées d'hydromel
Pour le courage, pour pas qu'il y ait de faille
Pour rester grands et fiers quand nous serons dans la bataille
Car c'est la première fois pour moi que je pars au combat
Et j'espère être digne de la tribu de Dana (Dana, Dana, Dana)

Dans la vallée, oh oh, de Dana, la-li-la-la
Dans la vallée, oh oh, j'ai pu entendre les échos
Dans la vallée, oh oh, de Dana, la-li-la-la
Dans la vallée, oh oh, des chants de guerre près des tombeaux

Après quelques incantations de druides et de magie
Toute la tribu, le glaive en main, courait vers l'ennemi
La lutte était terrible et je ne voyais que les ombres
Tranchant l'ennemi qui revenait toujours en surnombre
Mes frères tombaient l'un après l'autre devant mon regard
Sous le poids des armes que possédaient tous ces barbares
Des lances, des haches et des épées dans le jardin d'Éden
Qui écoulaient du sang sur l'herbe verte de la plaine
Comme ces jours de peine où l'homme se traîne
À la limite du règne, du mal et de la haine
Fallait-il continuer ce combat déjà perdu
Mais telle était la fierté de toute la tribu
La lutte a continué comme ça jusqu'au soleil couchant
De férocité extrême en plus d'acharnement
Fallait défendre la terre de nos ancêtres enterrés là
Et pour toutes les lois de la tribu de Dana (Dana, Dana, Dana)

Dans la vallée, oh oh, de Dana, la-li-la-la
Dans la vallée, oh oh, j'ai pu entendre les échos
Dans la vallée, oh oh, de Dana, la-li-la-la
Dans la vallée, oh oh, des chants de guerre près des tombeaux

Au bout de la vallée, on entendait le son d'une corne
D'un chef ennemi qui rappelait toute sa horde
Avait-il compris qu'on lutterait même en enfer
Et qu'à la tribu de Dana appartenaient ces terres?
Les guerriers repartaient et je ne comprenais pas
Tout le chemin qu'ils avaient fait pour en arriver là
Quand mon regard se posa tout autour de moi
J'étais le seul debout de la tribu voilà pourquoi
Mes doigts se sont écartés tout en lâchant mes armes
Et le long de mes joues se sont mises à couler des larmes
Je n'ai jamais compris pourquoi les Dieux m'ont épargné
De ce jour noir de notre histoire que j'ai conté
Le vent souffle toujours sur la Bretagne armoricaine
Et j'ai rejoint ma femme, mon fils et mon domaine
J'ai tout reconstruit de mes mains pour en arriver là
Je suis devenu roi de la tribu de Dana (Dana, Dana, Dana)

Dans la vallée, oh oh, de Dana, la-li-la-la
Dans la vallée, oh oh, j'ai pu entendre les échos
Dans la vallée, oh oh, de Dana, la-li-la-la
Dans la vallée, oh oh, des chants de guerre près des tombeaux

De la tribu de Dana (Dana, Dana)
Je suis devenu roi
De la tribu de Dana (Dana, Dana)
Je suis devenu roi
De la tribu de Dana (Dana, Dana, Dana)

    It's the english lyrics:

    The wind blows on the plains of Armorican Brittany, I throw a last glance on my wife, my son and my field. Akim, the son of the blacksmith came to seek me, druides decided to carry out the combat in the valley. There, where all our ancestors, of Celtic warlike giants, after great battles, imposed themselves as Masters, it is the hour maintaining to defend our ground against an army of Simeriens lends to cross iron. All the tribe met around large menhirs, to call upon the gods so that they can bless us. After this prayer with my brothers without making state of zeal, the heads gave us to all mouthfuls of hydromel, for courage, for step that there is of fault, to remain large and proud when we are in the battle because it is the first time for me which I leave to the combat and I hope to be worthy of the tribe of Dana.

    In the valley of Dana Lilala. In the valley I could hear echoes. In the valley of Dana Lilala. In the valley of the battle songs close to the tombs.

    After some incantations of druides and magic, all the tribe, the glaive one in hand ran towards the enemy, the fight was terrible and I saw only the shades, slicing the enemy who always returned in excess. My brothers fell one after the other in front of my glance, under the weight of the weapons which had all these barbarians, lances, axes and swords in the garden of Eden who ran out of blood on green grass of the plain. Like these days of sorrow where the man trails himself with the limit of the reign of the evil and hatred, was necessary it to continue this combat already lost, but such was the pride of all the tribe, the fight continued like that to the setting sun, of extreme ferocity in addition to eagerness, was necessary to defend the ground of our ancestors buried there and for all the laws of the tribe of Dana.

    In the valley of Dana Lilala. In the valley I could hear echoes. In the valley of Dana Lilala. In the valley of the battle songs close to the tombs.

    At the end of the valley one heard the sound of a horn, of an enemy head who pointed out all his horde, it had understood that one would fight even in hell and that to the tribe of Dana belonged these grounds. The warriors set out again, I did not include/understand all the path that they had made to arrive from there there, when my glance was posed all around me, I was only upright of the tribe for this reason. My fingers deviated while releasing my weapons and along my cheeks started to run tears, I never included/understood why the gods saved to me this black day of our history which I told. The wind always blows on Armorican Brittany and I have join my wife, my son and my field, I rebuilt all with my hands to arrive from there there, I became king of the tribe of Dana.

    In the valley of Dana Lilala. In the valley I could hear echoes. In the valley of Dana Lilala. In the valley of the battle songs close to the tombs.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
