The Beast Within
--> ... behold I am coming soon!!!
Ce soir on va switcher un petit peu de ma vie privée... il faut que je fasse un pause... alors j'ai pensé vous proposer un petit texte que, personnellement, j'aime bien...
Il s'agit des paroles d'un morceau de Madonna qui s'appelle "The Beast Within". Pour la petite histoire "The Beast Within" a été d'abord conçu comme un Remix de la chanson "Justify my Love"; il a été publié comme tel en 1990 sur le Maxi single de "Justify my Love". "The Beast within" garde en tout cas seulement quatre lignes, celles du refrain, de la chanson originale (qui avait été écrite par Lenny Kravitz); le reste des paroles est tiré d'une autre source... voilà donc le quiz de ce soir mes chères lectrices et mes chers lecteurs: D'où sont tirées les paroles de "The Beast Within?" (petite note: Guillaume tu ne peux pas participer car tu connais la réponse :D). Donc sans vous retenir davantage avec des informations qui pourraient juste intéresser les fans de Madonna (une petite remarque: elle est devenue une des préférées des fans après avoir été introduite dans la track-listing du Re-Invention Tour 2004), je vous laisse lire le texte, un texte qui est à mon avis assez noir au début, mais qui devient plus optimiste vers la fin (que j'adore).
Bonne lecture (si vous avez le courage d'essayer)
The Beast Within (06:10)
(remixed by Lenny Kravitz and Madonna)
Blessed is he who reads aloud the words of the prophecy
and blessed are those who hear
and who keep what is written therein
for the time is near.
He is coming with the clouds
and every eye will see him,
everyone who pierced him
and all the tribes of the earth will wail on account of him.
Those of you who have not learned what some call the deep things of Satan
I know your works, I know your toil, and your patient endurance
and know that you cannot hear evil men,
but have tested those who call themselves Apostels, but are not,
and found them to be false
I know that you are enduring patiently and bearing out for my namesake,
and you have not grown weary,
but I have this against you:
that you abandoned the Love you had.
I know your tribulation and your poverty,
and the slancer of those who say that they are Jews, but they are not,
they are a Sinagogue of Satan.
Do not fear what you are about to suffer,
behold the Devil is about to throw you in prison.
Chorus:
Wanting, needing, waiting
for you to justify my Love
Hoping, praying
for you to justify my Love
And I saw a Beast rising out of the sea with ten horns and seven heads
and a blasphemous name upon its head
and the best that I saw was like a leopard,
it's feet were like a bear's,
and his mouth was like a lion's mouth,
and to it the dragon gave his power, and his throne, and great authority.
One of its heads had a mortal wound,
but it seemed to have a mortal wound that was healed,
and the whole earth followed the Beast with wonder.
Men worshipped the dragon for he had given his authority to the beast,
and they worshipped the Beast saying
"who is like the beast and who can fight against the beast?"
And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words;
and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months,
it opended its mouth to utter blasphemous words against God.
Chorus:
Wanting, needing, waiting
for you to justify my Love
Hoping, praying
for you to justify my Love
Then, I saw a new heaven and a new earth
and I heard a great voice from the throne saying:
"Behold the dwelling of God is with Men,
he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people,
and God himself will be with them,
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes,
and death shall be no more,
neither shall there be mourning, nor cry, nor pain anymore,
for this things will have passed away.
To the thirsty I will give wather without price
from the fountain of water of Life.
He who conquers shall have this heritage
and I will be his God and he shall be my Son.
But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted,
as for the murderes, fornicators, sorcerers, idolators and all the liars,
their lot shall be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone."
And he said to me, he said to me:
"Do not seal up the words of the Prophecy, for the time is near.
Let the evildoers still do Evil, and the filthy still be filthy,
and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy.
Behold I am coming soon!
I am the Alpha and the Omega,
the First and the Last,
the Beginning and the End."
Amen
What you gonna do?
