Lyrics and translation Ben Folds with Rufus Wainwright - Careless Whisper - Live Mountain Winery, Saratoga, CA
I
feel
so
unsure
Je
me
sens
tellement
incertain
As
I
take
your
hand
Quand
je
prends
ta
main
And
lead
you
to
the
dance
floor
Et
te
conduis
sur
la
piste
de
danse
As
the
music
dies
Alors
que
la
musique
meurt
Something
in
your
eyes
Quelque
chose
dans
tes
yeux
Calls
to
mind
a
silver
screen
Me
rappelle
un
écran
d'argent
And
all
it's
sad
goodbyes
Et
tous
ses
tristes
adieux
I'm
never
gonna
dance
again
Je
ne
danserai
plus
jamais
Guilty
feet
have
got
no
rhythm
Mes
pieds
coupables
n'ont
pas
de
rythme
Though
it's
easy
to
pretend
Bien
qu'il
soit
facile
de
faire
semblant
I
know
you're
not
a
fool
Je
sais
que
tu
n'es
pas
une
idiote
I
should
have
known
better
than
to
cheat
a
friend
J'aurais
dû
savoir
mieux
que
de
tromper
un
ami
And
waste
a
chance
that
I've
been
given
Et
gaspiller
une
chance
qui
m'a
été
donnée
So
I'm
never
gonna
dance
again
Alors
je
ne
danserai
plus
jamais
The
way
I
danced
with
you
Comme
je
dansais
avec
toi
Time
can
never
heal
Le
temps
ne
peut
jamais
guérir
Careless
whispers
of
a
good
friend
Les
chuchotements
insouciants
d'un
bon
ami
To
the
heart
and
mind
Au
cœur
et
à
l'esprit
Ignorance
is
kind
L'ignorance
est
bienveillante
There's
no
comfort
in
the
truth
Il
n'y
a
pas
de
réconfort
dans
la
vérité
Pain
is
all
you'll
find
La
douleur
est
tout
ce
que
tu
trouveras
I'm
never
gonna
dance
again
Je
ne
danserai
plus
jamais
Guilty
feet
have
got
no
rhythm
Mes
pieds
coupables
n'ont
pas
de
rythme
Though
it's
easy
to
pretend
Bien
qu'il
soit

de
faire
semblant

ne
danserai
plus
jamais
The
way
I
danced
with
you
Comme
je
dansais
avec
toi
Tonight
the
music
seems
so
loud
Ce
soir,
la
musique
semble
si
forte
I
wish
that
we
could
lose
this
crowd
J'aimerais
que
nous
puissions
perdre
cette
foule
Baby
it's
better
this
way
Chérie,
c'est
mieux
comme
ça
We'd
hurt
each
other
with
the
things
we
want
to
say
Nous
nous
ferions
du
mal
avec
les
choses
que
nous
voulons
dire
We
could
have
been
so
good
together
Nous
aurions
pu
être
si
bons
ensemble
We
could
have
made
this
last
forever
Nous
aurions
pu
faire
durer
ça
éternellement
But
now
who's
gonna
dance
with
me
Mais
maintenant,
qui
va
danser
avec
moi
Please
stay
S'il
te
plaît,
reste
I'm
never
gonna
dance
again
Je
ne
danserai
plus
jamais
