Notre lit brûle!

Dehors où la rivière s'est arrêtée
Le Corymbia et le chêne du désert
Les épaves d'Holden et les diesels
    bouillants (2)
Grésillent à quarante cinq degrés

Le moment est venu
    De dire qu'il faut être juste
De payer le loyer
    De payer notre part
Le moment est venu
A fact's a fact
Un fait est un fait
It belongs to them
Cela leur appartient
Let's give it back
Allez, rendons-le

How can we dance when our earth is turning
Comment pouvons-nous danser alors que notre terre tourne
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
Comment dormons-nous pendant que brûlent nos lits
Four wheels scare the cockatoos
Les 4x4 terrifient les cacatoès
From Kintore East to Yuendumu (3)
De Kintore Est jusqu'à Yuendemu

The western desert lives and breathes
Le désert de l'ouest vit et respire
In forty five degrees
À quarante cinq degrés

(1) Bloodwood (littéralement: bois

    plusieurs arbres, tels que :
    a) le Pterocarpus erinaceus en
        Afrique du Sud : son bois va d'un
        rose clair à un rouge vif ;
    b) le Corymbia en Australie
        (lorsqu'on entaille leur tronc,
        une gomme rouge foncé ou
        brune s'écoule);
    c) le Campêche au Mexique
        (sève de teinte rouge foncé);
    d) ou encore le Brosimum du
        Brésil (bois écarlate).
Ici il parle certainement du
Corymbia : Desert oak,
Allocasuarina decaisneana, est
un arbre à croissante lente
d'Australie.

    Je pense que Holden wrecks ne
    signifie pas épaves tenantes.
    Holden est aussi la seule marque
    de voiture australienne.
   
    Midnight Oil était des militants
    de la cause Aborigène.
    Cette chanson demande la
    restitution des terres aux
    aborigènes qui leurs avaient été
    volées ou achétées contre des
    babioles ou de l'alcool

Performances

Midnight Oil performed the song
in front of a world audience of
millions at the closing ceremony
of the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

Prime Minister John Howard had
triggered controversy that year
with his refusal to embrace
symbolic reconciliation and
apologise to Indigenous
Australians and members of the
Stolen Generations.
But he had also claimed that the
reconciliation-themed "Beds Are
Burning" was his favorite Midnight
Oil song.
The band played it dressed in
black, with the word "Sorry"
printed conspicuously all over
their clothes, as a popular apology
to indigenous people and to
highlight the issue to Howard,
who was in the audience as the
ranking Olympic host.

Other appearances
    Live at the World Café:
    Handcrafted (2002, World Café)

Cover versions
    On 2 October 2009, 60 musicians
    and celebrities from around the
    world released a free reworked
    version to highlight climate
    change issues before the United
    Nations' talks in Copenhagen.
   
    Singers included Lily Allen, Klaus
    Meine of the Scorpions, Simon
    Le Bon from Duran Duran, Tyson
    Ritter of The All-American
    Rejects and Bob Geldof.
   
    The former UN
    secretary-general Kofi Annan,
    Archbishop Desmond Tutu and
    the French actress Marion
    Cotillard also added their voices
    to the cover version.
   
    The song is part of Global
    Humanitarian Forum TckTckTck
    Time for Climate justice
    campaign and is a part of the
    greater "TckTckTck" project,[28]
    which aims to draw attention to
    the urgency of the global
    warming crisis, by signing a
    "musical petition" with each
    download.
