Bernard Adamus - La Question À 100 Piasse dalszöveg fordítás angol nyelvre

English
A A

The 100 bucks question

It's so quiet in Eastman this evening
Lil-Claude1 is chugging red 2 while I'm grinding black3
It's the vascular dementia
We're flopped on the sofa
We're feeling like two old handbags
Lil-Claude can't wrap her head around it
It's the hell of the dollar, the pocket bottom's quarters 4
There's no light on your path, no flame at your torch's tip
-
The question is getting there, but the answer is the same
Hey! Is it me that's hallucinating or is this the bottom of the bottle?
-
Lil-Claude grabs her cellphone and she calls her man
-
She says 'Simon bloody hell that I love you, I don't have a dammed cent
-
Winter will be long this year, I'm completely broke
I search all sides, all edges5, tell me where there's some dough!'6
-
Winter is long this year, I'm completely broke
I search all sides, all edges, tell me where there's some dough!'
-
Winter is long at my place, I don't have a damned cent
I search in cracks and holes, where are the sweet dimes
-
Somewhere in a basement
On the other side in Longueuil
Her man is eating the crusts of some white bread 7
As much as he's smoking leafs
He's searching for a month's end's gig
To round what he doesnt have 8
On the other side of the window is a snowstorm
Only the kids are happy
There are the dreams in smoke
And the remorse of old ladies
He's hanging to his vinyls
The musics lost some of it's charm
The question is getting there, but the answer is the same
You're looking for something to eat
What are you gonna put in your ears?
thirty or so years in the body and a lil coat on your shoulder
-
-
Can we agree that its not santa,
you're seeing getting out of the subway
Winter will be long this year, he's completely broke
He searches all sides, all edges, tell me where there's some dough!'
-
Winter will be long this year, I'm completely broke
I search all sides, all edges, tell me where there's some dough!'
-
Winter is long at my place, I don't have a damned cent
I search in cracks and holes, where are the sweet dimes
-
With my two dirty hands, me I can't do much with
Except singing the same old stuff and tell girls that I love them
-
It's a season of slush, of mud, of sludge and of cold
Fortunately I have my good lady to spend winter with
-
She's got beautiful arm of sky, solid like steel
'The girl that I love's got long black curly hair!'
It seem like I'm rapping today, I can't stand to sing like yesterday
-
It's cheesy like that, but your smile makes me proud
The question is getting there, but does the answer approach?
Will your odour at our place still be there tomorrow
I'm on all four in the kitchen to shine the tiles
-
Desjardins in full blast who is the housekeeper?
Winter is long this year, I'm completely broke
I search all sides, all edges, tell me where there's some dough!'
-
Winter is long at my place, I don't have a damned cent
I search in cracks and holes, where are the sweet dimes
-
I'm on the verge of breaking my teeth on my childhood dreams
-
Who's the fucking idiot that wrote 'Vive le vent'9
It's -20C this morning corner Iberviller/Rosemont
The job is calling, not more than my bed at my place
-
It seems like the sun is shining on the beaches of Manille
And that the beer flows in the ports of Seville
I'm like a small kid that counts his marbles
And chucks them like a madman in a bowling alley
-
The question is getting there, it's buzzing in my ears!
'If I want honey do I have to do like the bee?'
But now is the show's night and all the glasses are overflowing
-
It's 5 bucks at the door for the dude with the six chords10
Winter will be long this year, I'm completely broke
I search all sides, all edges, tell me where there's some dough!'
-
Winter is long at my place, I don't have a damned cent
I search in cracks and holes, where are the sweet dimes
-
Winter will be long this year, I'm completely broke
I search all sides, all edges, tell me where there's some dough!'
-
Winter is long at my place, I don't have a damned cent
I search in cracks and holes, where are the sweet dimes

1. In québécois french, 'Ti-' is added in front of a name to denote familiarity or that the person is small. You could, for instance, say Ti-Napoléon to mock his stature or humourously imply that you're good friend with him
2. Drinking wine
3. brooding
4. 30 sous (0.30$) is sometimes used in québec to mean quaters. this comes from the exchange rate of the french piastre/british dollar during the colonial transition after the conquest
5. Searching all around.
6. Literaly 'where can I get some wheat'
7. Simon is so poor that he only has bread crusts to eat
8. Rounding up the end of the month is an expression meaning 'to make ends meet at the end of the month/to pay the bills'. The singer plays with this expression with the previous line so I translated it literaly
9. french equivalent of Jingle Bell
10. Guitar

Paolo Mengoli - Desaperecido dalszöveg fordítás angol nyelvre

Missing

I'll search for you every day to the source
like a salmon that swims upstream
and, defying the arrows, the bears, and the fishermen
arrives at the season of love.

I'll search for you in the eyes of the last friend,
I'll listen to the tolling of an ancient heart.
I'll search on the body of a lonely woman
the last “I love you” lost in her throat.

Dear missing love,
where have you gone, where have you ended up?
Dear missing love,
they threw you away like a dress.

They no longer want you, they no longer search for you,
you haven’t seen “love”,
I asked an old poet
but they had broken his pencil.

I'll search for you among the desks of an old schoolhouse
where in your book I left you a pansy.
I'll search in a song of revolution
another feeling and a song.

I'll search for you every day to the source
like a salmon swimming upstream,
a little hero at the risk of dying,
you give life to the sea for love.

Dear missing love,
where have you gone, where have you ended up?
Dear missing love,
they threw you away like a dress.

And they no longer want you, they no longer search for you,
you haven't seen 'love',
I asked an old poet
but they had broken his pencil.

Dear missing love.

~~~~~

Dear missing love.

Heavenly serenade

Go
Heavenly serenade
Heavenly like the eyes of a woman
Who resembles so much a Madonna
Go
You who have known everything
Calm the heart that hasn't forgotten
The golden dreams that it hasn't dreamed
It hurts so much
The melancholy
Since my love
Is no longer mine
Go
Heavenly serenade
You who know how much I suffer and how sad I am
Just tell her about the tears it costs us
Heavenly serenade
And nothing more

To hear softly again:
“Good evening”
The taste of your kisses
To dream again
To give a little more peace
To this heart
To hear softly again:
“Good evening”

It hurts so much
The melancholy
Since my love
Is no longer mine
Go
Heavenly serenade
You who know how much I suffer and how sad I am
Just tell her about the tears it costs us
Heavenly serenade
And nothing more

Heavenly serenade

Go
Heavenly serenade
Heavenly like the eyes of a woman
Who resembles so much a Madonna
Go
You who have known everything
Calm the heart of one who hasn’t forgotten
The golden dreams that they haven’t dreamed
It kills so much
The melancholy
Since my love
Is no longer mine
Go
Heavenly serenade
You, who know how much I suffer and how sad I am
Just tell her about the tears it costs us
Heavenly serenade and nothing more

To hear softly again:
“Good evening”
The taste of her kisses
To dream again
To give a little more light
To this heart
To hear softly again:
“Good evening”

You, who know how much I suffer and how sad I am
Just tell her about the tears it costs us
Heavenly serenade and nothing more

To hear softly again:
“Good evening”
