Georges Moustaki "It is too late", "Il est trop tard"

My translation in English of "Il est trop tard" of Georges Moustaki

While I have been sleeping
while I have been dreaming
the clock has ticked away
it is too late
my childhood's long ago
and now it's tomorrow
pass the time pass the time
there's not much time left on the line...

While I have been loving
holding you my darling
love has faded away
it is too late
you were so well bred I'm alone in my bed
pass the time pass the time
there's not much time left on the line..

While I have been singing
freedom and liberty
others were in slavery
it is too late
some went off to battle
never was I able
pass the time pass the time
there's not much time left on the line

And yet I'm still alive
and yet I still make love
sometimes I sing and play
on my guitar
for the child that was me
for the child that's from me
pass the time pass the time
there's not much time left on the line

While I was sleeping
while I was dreaming
while I had you darling
time was still on my side...

Bravo ! C'est aussi bien, presque, car pas Moustaki, que la version originale :)
