Lyrics and translation Ben Folds Five - Magic (Live Royal Albert Hall, London, UK, 12/14/99)
From
the
back
of
your
big
brown
eyes
Depuis
le
fond
de
tes
grands
yeux
bruns,
I
knew
you′d
be
gone
as
soon
as
you
could
Je
savais
que
tu
partirais
dès
que
tu
le
pourrais,
And
i
hoped
you
would
Et
je
l'espérais.
We
could
see
that
you
weren't
yourself
Nous
voyions
que
tu
n'étais
pas
toi-même,
And
the
lines
on
your
face
did
tell
Et
les
rides
sur
ton
visage
l'ont
dit
It′s
just
as
well
C'est
tout
aussi
bien
You'd
never
be
yourself
again
Tu
ne
serais
plus
jamais
toi-même
Saw
you
last
night
Je
t'ai
vue
hier
soir,
Dance
by
the
light
of
the
moon
Danser
à
la
lumière
de
la
lune
Stars
in
your
eyes
Des
étoiles
dans
les
yeux,
Free
from
the
life
that
you
knew
Libre
de
la
vie
que
tu
connaissais
You're
the
magic
that
holds
the
sky
up
from
the
ground
Tu
es
la
magie
qui
retient
le
ciel
de
tomber
You′re
the
breath
that
blows
these
cool
winds
′round
Tu
es
le
souffle
qui
fait
souffler
ces
vents
froids
Trading
places
with
an
angel
now
Tu
échanges
maintenant
ta
place
avec
un
ange
Saw
you
last
night
Je
t'ai
vue
hier
soir
Dance
by
the
light
of
the
moon
Danser
à
la
lumière
de
la
lune
Stars
in
your
eyes
Des
étoiles
dans
les
yeux
Free
from
the
life
that
you
knew

de
la
vie
que
tu
connaissais
Saw
you
last
night
Je
t'ai
vue
hier
soir
Stars
in
the
sky
Des
étoiles
dans
le
ciel
Smiled
in
my
room
J'ai
souri
dans
ma
chambre
