Genius English Translations - Fred Nevche La Responsabilite Des Reves English Translation Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't like the indifferent ones
I'm struggling with those who look like they don't give a fuck
The "Avoid me I'll follow you"
The smug silences
The rockers that nothing moves
The aestheticizing mystery
I don't like the satisfied ones
The people who seem like they don't need anything or anyone
Those who keep to themselves, who denies access to them
And will make you know
A priori, I'm not the most appropriate public for Lou Reed
Yet he touches me
He touches me in the gap between the image we have of him from afar, and the image of who he seems to be from a closer angle
He touches me in the distance we discover between him, and his own cliché
When taking a better look at it, he precisely touches me by not being an indifferent one, but someone who tells stories
Someone who pays attention to the stories he tell, he touches me when he tells the story of Delmore Schwartz
Who's Delmore Schwartz ? To say it quickly, his mentor

[Verse 2]
Elegant man born in 1913 in a well-off Jew and Romanian family, Delmore first graduates in the University of New York before pursuing a curriculum in Harvard in the 30s, in the philosophy department, directed by Whitehead
Then writes a short story in the Partisan Revue, inspired by the divorce of his parents, which will be cited by TS Eliot, William Carlos William, or Ezra Pond, admired by Nabokov
A short story that would become a classic to say it otherwise
The classic of a man who's barely 25
A classic for Lou Reed too, who'll discover this piece about ten years after its publishing, while taking Creative Writing classes
What you need to understand, is that Lou Reed, of whom so many people are fan, was himself fan of Delmore, absolute fan of his time, until death
It's moving to catch famous people admiring other people who are less famous
Moving to realize that the figures that everybody listens to, sometimes keep quiet to themselves listen to other people
I started liking Lou Reed when I discovered Lou Reed's humility
A reading humility, the deference of a fan
[Verse 3]
In 2012 Lou wrote a posthumous letter to Delmore, which is concluded by a simple word
Too simple without any doubt, so simple that it's often mocked
Lou concluded his letter to Delmore by the word "dream"
And while he's concluding, I'm wondering if admiring someone is basically becoming responsible of their dreams
Committing yourself to pursuing them, committing yourself to defending them, to defending the seriousness of it, to taking over from it
Fighting the indifference
I imagine underground like an attention relay that humans mysteriously pass to each other
And I tell myself that admiring someone, it's taking the risk of taking possession of this baton
Being in charge of a soul, of a shared dream
Lou took over from Delmore by his own way
Who will take over from Lou ?
