Lyrics and translation Ben Folds - Missing the War (Live Royal Albert Hall, London, UK, 12/14/99)




Missing the War (Live Royal Albert Hall, London, UK, 12/14/99)
Missing the War (Live Royal Albert Hall, London, UK, 12/14/99)
All is quiet
Tout est calme
His tired eyes
Ses yeux fatigués
See figures jotted down
Voir des chiffres notés
And clothes all strewn around
Et les vêtements éparpillés
The bedroom floor
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
Elle ne sait pas
He wasn't meant for this
Il n'était pas fait pour ça
I′m missing the war
Ma chérie, la guerre me manque
(Ba ba ba baaaa)
(Ba ba ba baaaa)
I′m missing the war all night
La guerre me manque toute la nuit
(Ba ba ba baaaa)
(Ba ba ba baaaa)
Missing the war
La guerre me manque
(Ba ba ba baaaa)
(Ba ba ba baaaa)
I'm missing the war
La guerre me manque
(Aaaaaahh aaaaahhhh aaaahhhh)
(Aaaaaahh aaaaahhhh aaaahhhh)
(Aaaaaahh aaaaahhhh)
(Aaaaaahh aaaaahhhh)
He drove home again
Il est rentré chez lui
Pissed and beaten
ivre et battu
It′s really no big deal
Ce n'est vraiment rien de grave
It happens all the time
Cela arrive tout le temps
It's no big deal
Ce n'est rien de grave
I′m missing the war
Ma chérie, la guerre me manque
(Ba ba ba baaaa)
(Ba ba ba baaaa)
I'm missing the war all night
La guerre me manque toute la nuit
(Ba ba ba baaaa)
(Ba ba ba baaaa)
Missing the war
La guerre me manque
(Ba ba ba baaaa)
(Ba ba ba baaaa)
I′m missing the war
La guerre me manque
'Til beads of sunlight hit me in the morning
Jusqu'à ce que les rayons du soleil me frappent le matin
So much
Tellement
Time, so
Du temps, si
Little to say
Peu de choses à dire
Time may fly
Le temps peut voler
(Time may fly)
(Le temps peut voler)
And dreams may die
Et les rêves peuvent mourir
(Aaaaaahhhhh)
(Aaaaaahhhhh)
The shaking voice
La voix tremblante
That tells him, "go"
Qui lui dit "va"
Still thinks he might
Pense toujours qu'il pourrait
He knows he won't
Il sait qu'il ne le fera pas
I′m missing the war
Ma chérie, la guerre me manque
(Ba ba ba baaaa)
(Ba ba ba baaaa)
I′m missing the war all night
La guerre me manque toute la nuit
(Ba ba ba baaaa)
(Ba ba ba baaaa)
Missing the war
La guerre me manque
(Ba ba ba baaaa)
(Ba ba ba baaaa)
I'm missing the war, oh...
La guerre me manque, oh...
Missing the war
La guerre me manque
I′m missing the war
La guerre me manque
