Lyrics and translation Ben Folds Five - Missing the War (London, UK 1999)
All
is
quiet
his
tired
eyes
Tout
est
calme,
ses
yeux
fatigués
See
figures
jotted
down
Voyez
des
chiffres
griffonnés
And
clothes
all
strewn
around
Et
des
vêtements
éparpillés
The
bedroom
floor
Sur
le
sol
de
la
chambre
Now
nothing′s
adding
up
Maintenant,
rien
ne
s'additionne
And
nothing's
making
sense
Et
rien
n'a
de
sens
She′s
sleeping
like
a
baby
Elle
dort
comme
un
bébé
She
doesn't
know
he
wasn't
meant
for
this
Elle
ne
sait
pas
qu'il
n'était
pas
fait
pour
ça
I′m
missing
the
war
Je
manque
la
guerre
I′m
missing
the
war
all
night
Je
manque
la
guerre
toute
la
nuit
Missing
the
war
Manque
de
guerre
He
drove
home
again
Il
est
rentré
à
la
maison
Pissed
and
beaten
En
colère
et
battu
Its
really
no
big
deal
Ce
n'est
vraiment
pas
grave
It
happens
all
the
time
Ça
arrive
tout
le
temps
Its
no
big
deal
Ce
n'est
pas
grave
I'm
missing
the
war
Je
manque
la
guerre
I′m
missing
the
war
all
night
Je
manque
la
guerre
toute
la
nuit
Missing
the
war
Manque
de
guerre
I'm
missing
the
war
Je
manque
la
guerre
′Till
beads
of
sunlight
hit
me
in
the
morning
Jusqu'à
ce
que
des
gouttes
de
soleil
me
frappent
le
matin
So
much
time
so
little
to
say
Tant
de
temps,
si
peu
à
dire
Time
may
fly
Le
temps
peut
voler
And
dreams
may
die
Et
les
rêves
peuvent
mourir
The
shaking
voice
that
tells
him
go
La
voix
tremblante
qui
lui
dit
d'y
aller
Still
thinks
he
might
Pense
encore
qu'il
pourrait
He
knows
he
won't
Il
sait
qu'il
ne
le
fera
pas
I′m
missing
the
war
Je
manque
la
guerre
Missing
the
war
all
night
Manque
de
guerre
toute
la
nuit
Missing
the
war
Manque
de
guerre
