CULTURE POPULAIRE : CHANSONS

Il doit y avoir des centaines de chansons parlant des vampires, recyclées sur le thème ou y faisant référence. Il va de soit que je n'ai pas l'intention de les trouver toutes (^^;) mais si vous en connaissez et que vous êtes prêts à les partager avec nous, n'hésitez pas à nous en faire part!




Entretien avec un vampire (BOF et inspiration)

Libera Me

(Jerry Goldstein)


    Libera me, Domine, de vita aeterna
    Libera me, Domine
    de vita aeterna

    Lux aeterna dona eis, dona eis
    cum sanctis tuis in aeternum:
    quia pius es.

    Libera me Domine
    Libera me de vita aeterna

    Traduction :
    Délivre moi, Seigneur, de la vie éternelle
    (extrait du Libera Me, "de vita aeterna" était à l'origine "de morte aeterna", la mort éternelle)

    Donne leur la lumière éternelle
    avec Tes Saints dans l'éternité
    car Tu es miséricordieux
    (du Lux Aeternum)


Moon Over Bourbon Street

(Sting) Interprétée par Sting


    There's a moon over bourbon street tonight
    I see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamplight
    I've no choice but to follow that call
    The bright lights, the people, and the moon and all
    I pray everyday to be strong
    For I know what I do must be wrong
    Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
    While there's a moon over bourbon street

    It was many years ago that I became what I am
    I was trapped in this life like an innocent lamb
    Now I can never show my face at noon
    And you'll only see me walking by the light of the moon
    The brim of my hat hides the eye of a beast
    I've the face of a sinner but the hands of a priest
    Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
    While there's a moon over bourbon street

    She walks everyday through the streets of New Orleans
    She's innocent and young from a family of means
    I have stood many times outside her window at night
    To struggle with my instinct in the pale moonlight
    How could I be this way when I pray to god above
    I must love what I destroy and destroy the thing I love
    Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
    While there's a moon over bourbon street


Sympathy for the devil

(Rolling Stones) Interprétée par Guns'n'Roses


    Please allow me to introduce myself
    I'm a man of wealth and taste
    I've been around for a long, long year
    Stole many a man's soul and faith

    And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
    Had his moment of doubt and pain
    Made damn sure that Pilate
    Washed his hands and sealed his fate

    Pleased to meet you
    Hope you guess my name
    But what's puzzling you
    Is the nature of my game

    I stuck around St. Petersberg
    When I saw it was a time for a change
    Killed the Czar and his ministers
    Anastasia screamed in vain

    I rode a tank
    Held a general's rank
    When the Blitzkrieg raged
    And the bodies stank

    Pleased to meet you
    Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
    What's puzzling you
    Is the nature of my game, oh yeah

    I watched with glee
    While your kings and queens
    Fought for ten decades
    For the Gods they made

    I shouted out
    "Who killed the Kennedys?"
    When after all
    It was you and me

    Let me please introduce myself
    I'm a man of wealth and taste
    And I laid traps for troubadors
    Who get killed before they reached Bombay

    Pleased to meet you
    Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
    But what's puzzling you
    Is the nature of my game,
    Oh yeah, get down, baby

    Pleased to meet you
    Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
    But what's confusing you
    Is just the nature of my game

    Just as every cop is a criminal
    And all the sinners Saints
    As heads is tails
    Just call me Lucifer
    'Cause I'm in need of some restraint

    So if you meet me
    Have some courtesy
    Have some sympathy and some taste
    Use all your well-learned politesse
    Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah

    Pleased to meet you
    Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
    But what's puzzling you
    Is the nature of my game, um baby, get down
    Oh yeah, get on down
    Oh yeah, oh yeah!

    Tell me baby, what's my name
    Tell me honey, baby guess my name
    Tell me baby, what's my name
    Tell you one time, you're to blame
    Oh, yeah

    What's my name
    Tell me, baby, what's my name
    Tell me, sweetie, what's my name
    Oh, yeah
