He rushes to the cliff and scrambles down the rocks. It takes him a long time to get down to the water, trying to keep up with the current at the same time. As he nears the water's edge he sees John losing strength.
Luttant au bas de la pente,
Il n'y a pas beaucoup d'espoir
Struggling down the slope,
Je commence à tenter de gravir les éboulis
There's not much hope.
Les rochers s'écoulent tout autour de moi
I begin to try to ride the scree
Si je veux revoir John vivant
But the rocks are tumbling all around me.
Je dois enterrer mon angoisse, faire le plongeon
Tandis que ce que j'ai vendu me donne le droit de survivre (1)
If I want John alive,
Evel Knievel, tu n'as rien obtenu sur moi, me voilà !
I've got to ditch my fear - take a dive
While I've still got my drive to survive.
Evel Knievel you got nothing on me.
