Lyrics and translation Ben Folds - Rocky - 4 Track Demo, 1993
We
were
in
a
park
On
était
dans
un
parc
I
could
jump
so
far
Je
pouvais
sauter
si
loin
Seems
like
all
I'd
ever
done
On
dirait
que
tout
ce
que
j'avais
jamais
fait
Was
smoking
pot
out
in
the
car
C'était
fumer
de
l'herbe
dans
la
voiture
And
this
figure
faded
in
Et
cette
figure
s'est
estompée
From
the
departees
of
my
old
school
Des
personnes
parties
de
mon
ancien
lycée
He
says
"Ben
Il
dit
"Ben
We
both
know
you're
asleep
On
sait
tous
les
deux
que
tu
dors
I've
been
running
through
these
fields
J'ai
couru
dans
ces
champs
It's
such
a
lovely
place
you
dream
C'est
un
endroit
tellement
charmant
que
tu
rêves
Is
it
your
imagination?
Est-ce
ton
imagination
?
It's
been
years
since
I've
been
on
my
feet"
Ça
fait
des
années
que
je
n'ai
pas
marché
Now
it's
Rocky's
day
Maintenant,
c'est
le
jour
de
Rocky
Send
his
soul
on
it's
way
Envoie
son
âme
sur
son
chemin
The
sun
won't
be
coming
out
Le
soleil
ne
sortira
pas
Yeah
it's
Rocky's
day
Ouais,
c'est
le
jour
de
Rocky
And
it's
time
he
went
way
Et
il
est
temps
qu'il
parte
The
sun
won't
be
coming
out
today
Le
soleil
ne
sortira
pas
aujourd'hui
I
recall
Je
me
souviens
But
I
don't
know
who
Mais
je
ne
sais
pas
qui
Told
me
Rocky
was
a
runner
M'a
dit
que
Rocky
était
un
coureur
Won
a
medal
back
in
school
A
gagné
une
médaille
à
l'école
Now
at
Christmas
momma
says
Maintenant,
à
Noël,
maman
dit
"You
go
up
with
me
to
Rocky's
room"
« Tu
montes
avec
moi
dans
la
chambre
de
Rocky
»
, As
we
watched
the
sun
go
down
, Alors
que
nous
regardions
le
soleil
se
coucher
He
thanks
me
for
my
dreams
Il
me
remercie
pour
mes
rêves
He
said
"I
know
you
think
you
are
Il
a
dit
"Je
sais
que
tu
penses
que
tu
es
But
you're
not
completely
free
Mais
tu
n'es
pas
complètement
libre
The
man
who's
seen
a
spectre
of
L'homme
qui
a
vu
un
spectre
de
Departure
is
completely
free"
Le
départ
est
complètement
libre"
Now
it's
Rocky's
day
Maintenant,
c'est
le
jour
de
Rocky
Send
his
soul
on
it's
way
Envoie
son
âme
sur
son
chemin
The
sun
won't
be
coming
out
today
Le
soleil
ne
sortira
pas
aujourd'hui
Yeah
it's
Rocky's
day
Ouais,
c'est
le
jour
de
Rocky
Send
his
soul
on
it's
way
Envoie
son
âme
sur
son
chemin
The
sun
won't
be
coming
out
today
Le
soleil
ne
sortira
pas
aujourd'hui
Then
he
smiled
Puis
il
a
souri
And
he
turned
and
walked
away
Et
il
s'est
retourné
et
s'est
en
allé
He
said
over
his
shoulder
Il
a
dit
par-dessus
son
épaule
"I'll
be
gone
when
you're
awake
« Je
serai
parti
quand
tu
te
réveilleras
»
