Oldfield, Mike - Pictures In The Dark Lyrics






Follow the light that glows
Through your bedroom window.
Tonight, tonight, the fading twilight.
There's a hollow deep in the woods
Where you know you're crazy
To go, to go, not even meant to know
There are...

Pictures in the dark, I see all around.
Voices calling underground
And I'm watching the stars since the
World was found.

One, two, three.

[Chorus:]
Pictures in the dark, I see
Morpheus comes to me.
Pictures in the dark, I see.
Aurora sets you free.

And in the deepest dark
You come to a maze in.
The night, the night, the fading twilight.
And you shiver the glistening path
Where you know you're crazy
To go, to go, not even meant to know.
There are...

Pictures in the dark, I see all around.
Voices calling underground
And I'm watching the stars since the
World was found.

One, two, three.

Lost in my dreams.

This night will never end.
You can only fly in your dreams.
Midnight will be your friend.
Drift away on starlight beams.
Clocks are ticking the night away.
You can only fly until dawn ascends.

[Chorus]

Pictures in the dark I see,
Aurora sets you free

Holding a fantasy that changes you a way through the door,
The door (and) through the day is born
As the sunlight shines through the window,
will you remember the night,
The night, that crazy starlight
There are...
Pictures in the dark,
see all around

[Chorus]

The moon shines starlight beams
And you'll be flying in your dreams.

[Chorus]

    This video reminded me about Mike after Discovery wore off and got me back to the record shop. I came home with 'the Complete Mike Oldfield' 2LP. It was quite a while before I heard Pictures in the Dark again, but I got so much out of that album.

  39. r.... ....

    It's amazing, I remember this melody from the years 85-86. it made a great impression on me. I made it recorded at that time, but unfortunately, delete the recording very quickly by mistake. I did not remember the artist, I was 10-12 years old at that time. Over the years, this melody was playing in my soul, I tried to find it ... Now I found it. I am really very happy with this.

  40. O.... F....

    Ich finde, Oldfield hat nach 1984 keine gute CD mehr gemacht

    O.... F....

    Aber das bis 1984 war auf jedenfall super !!!

    Paroles et traduction de «Pictures In The Dark»
    Pictures In The Dark (Des Images Dans Le Noir)

    Follow the light that glows
    Suis la lumière émise
    Through your bedroom window.
    A travers la fenêtre de ta chambre
    Tonight, tonight, the fading twilight.
    Ce soir, ce soir, au crépuscule
    There's a hollow deep in the woods
    Il y a une cavité dans la profondeur des bois
    Where you know you're crazy
    Ou tu sais qu'il est dingue
    To go, to go, not even meant to know
    De se rendre, à ne même pas chercher à comprendre
    There are...
    Il y a...
    PUBLICITÉ

    inRead invented by Teads


    Pictures in the dark, I see all around.
    Des images dans le noir, que je vois tout autour
    Voices calling underground
    Des voix souterraines qui appellent
    And I'm watching the stars since the
    Et je regarde les étoiles depuis que le
    World was found.
    Monde est monde

    One, two, three.
    Un, Deux, Trois

    [Chorus : ]
    [Refrain : ]
    Pictures in the dark, I see
    Des images dans le noir, je vois
    Morpheus comes to me.
    Morphée vient vers moi
    Pictures in the dark, I see.
    Des images dans le noir, je vois
    Aurora sets you free.
    La déesse Aurore te libere (1)

    And in the deepest dark
    Et dans le noir le plus profond
    You come to a maze in.
    Tu hallucines dans ce labyrinthe (2)
    The night, the night, the fading twilight.
    La nuit, la nuit, au crépuscule
    And you shiver the glistening path
    Et tu trembles devant le scintillant chemin
    Where you know you're crazy
    Ou tu sais qu'il est dingue
    To go, to go, not even meant to know.
    De se rendre, à ne même pas chercher à comprendre
    There are...
    Il y a...

    [Chorus]
    [Refrain]

    One, two, three.
    Un, Deux, Trois

    Lost in my dreams.
    Perdu dans mes rêves

    This night will never end.
    Cette nuit ne finira jamais
    You can only fly in your dreams.
    Tu ne peux voler que dans tes rêves
    Midnight will be your friend.
    Minuit sera ton ami
    Drift away on starlight beams.
    Dérivant sur les rayons lumineux d'une étoile
    Clocks are ticking the night away.
    Les horloges décomptent le temps de la nuit
    You can only fly until dawn ascends.
    Tu ne peux voler que jusqu'à l'aube (3)

    [Chorus]
    [Refrain]

    The moon shines starlight beams
    La lune brille de ses rayons lumineux
    And you'll be flying in your dreams.
    Et tu voleras dans tes rêves

    [Chorus]
    [Refrain]

    The moon shines starlight beams
    La lune brille de ses rayons lumineux
    And you'll be flying in your dreams.
    Et tu voleras dans tes rêves

    (1) Je pense que "Aurora" correspond à la Déesse Aurore qui ouvrait

    Les portes de l'aube (et qui nous libère en apportant sa lumière, en opposition

    À l'obscurité des lignes précédentes). De plus, la référence mythologique est

    Déja présente avec "Morpheus"

    (2) J'ai essayé de faire ressortir le jeu de mot "a maze in" (dans le labyrinthe)

    Et "amazing" (qu'on peut traduire par "époustouflant")

    J'ai trouvé que le verbe "halluciner" correspondait assez bien, car en francais,

    Il représente à la fois le coté "incroyable" et le coté "avoir des visions" ("I see

    Pictures in the dark"... )

    Et j'ai lié (tant bien que mal) les deux idées dans une seule

    Phrase... une adaptation plutot libre : -)

    (3) Encore un jeu de mot avec la similitude phonétique de "dawn" et

    "down" (bas) opposé au mot suivant "ascend" (monter) qu'on pourrait peut etre

    Faire apparaitre en traduisant par "jusqu'au crépuscule de l'aube".

    This absolute bullshit of video is ruining the song plus giving me nightmares, this angel voiced kid-farmer-twinpeaksdwarf is pure terror!

  54. S.... B....

    I'm 18, but I trully love 80's music, and this... this is a masterpiece... by the way, what happened with anita's chest in 0:10 ?

    This song is particular. I remember when internet was slow with 14.4 modem and try to find the mp3 of the rare vinyl version. ❤️

  58. P.... t....

    Why can’t I find this on iTunes?

  59. P.... D....

    The kid kind of looks like a cockatoo.

  60. p.... ....

    Wie kann das sein , dass dieses Lied nicht auf Nr 1 in den Charts war?

    p.... ....

    Das ist eine gute Frage, zumal es sich ja um einen der kommerzielleren Titel Oldfields handelt.

  61. J.... c....

    Na wie oft......

  62. A.... A....

    I can’t find this masterpiece in any streaming platform.

  63. S.... P....

    I have loved this song since I was a little girl and it will always be one of my favorites. Miss it every day on Spotify, :(

  64. T.... L....

    Follow the light that glows through your bedroom window and you will see Mike performing his magic :)))

  70. a.... a....

    Miguel Campo Viejo

  71. K.... ....

    Is this from Discovery sessions? Pit it was left off the deluxe edition!

    K.... ....

    non, ce n'est pas extrait de l'album discovery, sur celui-ci la seule voix féminine est celle de Maggie Reilly

  72. F.... G....

    ¿Diseños en 3D en los 80? Quedé sorprendido.

  73. J.... S....

    phantastisch!

  74. M.... P....

    Was my song when i was 8years old.....

  75. C.... ....

    One of your best arts i would say. i would have changed the end.

  76. V.... ....

    Why was this song so popular in German speaking countries?

    V.... ....

    Maybe also, because he performed this song in some German tv-shows!?

  77. T.... V....

    Leute wie Sie sind es, die Deutsche in Verruf bringen mit Rechthaberei, Besserwisserei und Korinthenkackerei.
    Hier treffen sich zwei Menschen verschiedener Nationen und kommunizieren, obwohl Hochdeutsch nicht deren Muttersprache ist, auf deutsch, englisch und spanisch! Und Sie haben nichts Besseres zu tun, als deren Interpunktion zu bemängeln.
    Lesen Sie mal in "intellektuellen" Foren (z.B. Spiegel online) und Ihnen werden sich die Fußnägel aufrollen angesichts der Rechtschreibung deutscher Muttersprachler.
    Sie sind nicht einmal ein Vollpfosten, bestenfalls ein Hohlpfosten.
    Und nun viel Vergnügen beim Aufspüren von Fehlern in meinem Text.
