Lyrics and translation Ben Folds Five - Alice Childress (KCRW sessions - 1996)
Some
summers
in
the
evening
after
6 or
so
Certains
étés,
le
soir,
après
18
heures
environ,
I
walk
on
down
the
hill
Je
descends
la
colline
à
pied
And
maybe
buy
a
beer
Et
j'achète
peut-être
une
bière
I
think
about
my
friends
Je
pense
à
mes
amis
Sometimes
I
wish
they
lived
out
here
Parfois,
j'aimerais
qu'ils
habitent
ici
But
they
wouldn′t
dig
this
town
Mais
ils
n'aimeraient
pas
cette
ville
No,
they
wouldn't
dig
this
town
Non,
ils
n'aimeraient
pas
cette
ville
Try
not
to
think
about
it,
Alice
Childress
Essaie
de
ne
pas
y
penser,
Alice
Childress
Try
not
to
think
about
it
anymore
Essaie
de
ne
plus
y
penser
Try

it,
Alice
Childress
Essaie

y
penser,
Alice
Childress
Anymore
Plus
No,
not
anymore,
oh
Non,
plus,
oh
Alice,
the
world
is
full
of
ugly
things
Alice,
le
monde
est
plein
de
choses
laides
That
you
can′t
change
Que
tu
ne
peux
pas
changer
Pretend
it's
not
that
way
Fais
comme
si
ce
n'était
pas
le
cas
It's
my
idea
of
faith
C'est
ma
façon
de
voir
la
foi
You
can
blow
it
off
Tu
peux
faire
comme
si
de
rien
n'était
And
say
there′s
good
in
nearly
everyone
Et
dire
qu'il
y
a
du
bien
en
presque
tout
le
monde
Just
give
them
all
a
chance
Donne-leur
juste
une
chance
à
tous
Now
let′s
give
them
all
a
chance
Donnons-leur
maintenant
une
chance
à
tous
Try
not
to
think
about
it,
Alice
Childress
Essaie

penser,
Alice
Childress
Try

it
anymore
Essaie

Childress
Anymore
Plus
No,
not
anymore,
oh
Non,
plus,
oh
No,
it
didn't
work
out
Non,
ça
n'a
pas
marché
No,
it
didn′t
work
out
the
way
we
thought
it
would
Non,
ça
n'a
pas
marché
comme
on
pensait
No,
it
didn't
work
out
Non,
ça
n'a
pas
marché
(An
arranged
marriage
is
not
so
good)
(Un
mariage
arrangé
n'est
pas
si
bien)
Thank
God
it′s
you
Merci
Dieu
que
c'est
toi
You
know,
your
timing
is
impeccable
Tu
sais,
ton
timing
est
impeccable
And
I'm
not
fooling
you
Et
je
ne
te
trompe
pas
I
don′t
know
what
to
do
Je
ne
sais
pas
quoi
faire
Some
dude
just
knocked
me
cold
Un
type
vient
de
me
mettre
K.O.
And
left
me
on
the
sidewalk
Et
m'a
laissé
sur
le
trottoir
Took
everything
I
had
Il
a
pris
tout
ce
que
j'avais
And
everything
I
had
Et
tout
ce
que
j'avais
Try
not

it,
Alice
Childress

Alice
Childress
Try

It's
getting
late
where
you
are,
Alice
Childress
Il
se
fait
tard
chez
toi,
Alice
Childress
