Paroles
My father was a rancher, east of Socorro
Southeast of Corona, near Roswell, New Mexico
In the middle of nowhere, o radio, no telephone
1947, I was 12 years old
Big lightning storm one night, beginning of July
We heard an explosion, wondered what, wondered why
Riding out the next morning, over the pasture to check on some sheep
That’s when Daddy found it, the big field of weird debris
He brought some of it home then, laid it out on the kitchen floor
Bits and pieces of things we’d never seen before
Like foil but not foil, like wood but not wood
Like wire, waxed paper, all weighing much less than it should
Everything was so strong, we couldn’t cut it or scrape it
Pliable, unnatural, we couldn’t burn or break it
There were symbols in purple and pink, like a transparent recipe
Ranged out in columns, but nothing we could read
A couple days later, Daddy drove into Corona
And there he heard the stories, what had been seen by others
Near Magdalena, on the Plains of San Agustin
A civil engineer and an archeological research team
Found a disc shaped object, surrounded by creatures
Like human but not human, round heads, no hair, small features
A military officer drove up and ordered everyone to leave
Swore them to silence, their patriotic duty
A couple in Roswell, star gazing from their front porch
Watched an object speeding, through the night of the big storm
Like two inverted saucers, glowing from the inside
Headed straight for the lightning, right out to where we resided
They said «We know what we saw No rocket, no weather balloon
Why keep it a secret? What could we learn? What could we learn?
Well, we don’t know But we do know two things
We know what we saw And we know that we are not alone.»
So Daddy went into Roswell Where he talked with the sheriff
Who called up the army, who came for my father
Took him out to our pasture, with trucks and soldiers
Where they picked up the pieces and carried them all away
Then they jailed my father and they asked him questions
Under guard in a small room from head to foot tested him
He said «You know what I saw I don’t know why you’re doing this to me
But I will keep it a secret Because you say it’s my duty.»
One week later, he came home on an airplane
Said forget all about it, he never spoke of it again
But sometimes I asked him «Daddy? Was it from another planet?
Was it something from the future?» But I never got an answer
Still, I know what I saw I don’t care what they told him
Why keep it a secret? What could we learn? What could we learn?
Well, I don’t know
But I do know two things I know what I saw
And I know that we are not alone
I know what I saw I don’t care what you’re thinking
Why keep it a secret? What could we learn?
What could we learn? Well, I don’t know
But I do know two things I know what I saw
And I know that we are not alone
Traduction des paroles
Où ils ont ramassé les morceaux et les ont tous emportés
Puis ils ont emprisonné mon père et lui ont posé des questions
Sous garde dans une petite pièce de la tête aux pieds l'a testé
Il a dit: "vous savez ce que j'ai vu, Je ne sais pas pourquoi vous me faites ça
Mais je garderai ça secret parce que tu dis que c'est mon devoir.»
Une semaine plus tard, il est rentré à la maison dans un avion
Dit oublier tout cela, il n'en a jamais parlé à nouveau
Mais parfois je lui ai demandé " Papa? A partir d'une autre planète?
Était-ce quelque chose de l'avenir?"Mais je n'ai jamais eu de réponse
Pourtant, je sais ce que j'ai vu, je me fiche de ce qu'ils lui ont dit
Pourquoi garder le secret? Que pourrions-nous apprendre? Que pourrions-nous apprendre?
Eh bien, je ne sais pas
Mais je sais deux choses je sais ce que j'ai vu
Et je sais que nous ne sommes pas seuls
Je sais ce que j'ai vu je me fiche de ce que tu penses
Pourquoi garder le secret? Que pourrions-nous apprendre?
Que pourrions-nous apprendre? Eh bien, je ne sais pas
Mais je sais deux choses je sais ce que j'ai vu
Et je sais que nous ne sommes pas seuls
