Close to the Borderline - Billy Joeltranslation in French




Close to the Borderline
Près de la limite
Blackout, heatwave, .44 caliber homicide
Coupure d'électricité, canicule, homicide au calibre .44
The buns drop dead and dogs go mad
Les petits pains tombent raides morts et les chiens deviennent fous
In packs on the west side
En meutes sur le West Side
Young girl standing on a ledge looks like another suicide
Une jeune fille debout sur un rebord ressemble à un autre suicide
She wants to hit those bricks
Elle veut frapper ces briques
'Cause the news at six gotta stick to a deadline
Parce que les informations de 18 heures doivent respecter un délai
While the millionaires hide in beekman place
Pendant que les millionnaires se cachent à Beekman Place
The bag ladies throw their bones in my face
Les femmes clochardes me jettent leurs os au visage
I get attacked by a kid with stereo sound
Je suis attaqué par un enfant avec un son stéréo
I don't want to hear it but he won't turn it down
Je ne veux pas l'entendre, mais il ne veut pas le baisser
Life is tough but it's just enough
La vie est dure, mais c'est juste assez
To hold back the tears until it's closing time
Pour retenir les larmes jusqu'à l'heure de fermeture
I survived, I'm still alive
J'ai survécu, je suis toujours en vie
But I'm getting close to the borderline
Mais je m'approche de la limite
Close to the borderline
Près de la limite
A buck three eighty
Un dollar trois-vingts
Won't buy you much lately on the street these days
Ne t'achètera pas grand-chose ces derniers temps dans la rue
And when you can get gas
Et quand tu peux avoir de l'essence
You know you can't drive fast anymore on the parkways
Tu sais que tu ne peux plus rouler vite sur les parkways
Rich man, poor man, either way american
Homme riche, homme pauvre, de toute façon américain
Shoved into the lost and found
Poussé dans les objets trouvés
The no nuke yell we're gonna all go to hell
Le cri antinucléaire, nous allons tous aller en enfer
With the next big meltdown
Avec la prochaine grosse fusion
I got remote control and a color t.v.
J'ai une télécommande et une télé couleur
I don't change channels so they must change me
Je ne change pas de chaîne, alors elles doivent me changer
I got real close friends that will get me high
J'ai de vrais amis proches qui me font planer
They don't know hot to talk and they ain't gonna try
Ils ne savent pas parler et ils ne vont pas essayer
I shouldn't bitch, I shouldn't cry
Je ne devrais pas me plaindre, je ne devrais pas pleurer
I'd start a revolution but I don't have time
Je lancerais une révolution, mais je n'ai pas le temps
I don't know why I'm still a nice guy
Je ne sais pas pourquoi je suis toujours un gentil
But I'm getting close to the borderline
Mais je m'approche de la limite
Close to the borderline
Près de la limite
I thought I'd sacrifice so many things
Je pensais que je sacrifierais tant de choses
I thought I'd throw them all away
Je pensais que je les jetterais tous
I didn't think I needed anything
Je ne pensais pas avoir besoin de quoi que ce soit
But you can't afford to squander what you're not prepared to pay
Mais tu ne peux pas te permettre de gaspiller ce que tu n'es pas prêt à payer
I need a doctor for my pressure pills
J'ai besoin d'un médecin pour mes pilules pour la tension
I need a lawyer for my medical bills
J'ai besoin d'un avocat pour mes factures médicales
I need a banker to finance my home
J'ai besoin d'un banquier pour financer ma maison
I need security to back my loan
J'ai besoin d'une sécurité pour garantir mon prêt
It isn't new what I'm going through
Ce n'est pas nouveau ce que je vis
But everybody knows you got to break sometime
Mais tout le monde sait que tu dois craquer un jour
Another night I fought the good fight
Une autre nuit, j'ai mené le bon combat
But I'm getting closer to the borderline
Mais je m'approche de la limite
Closer to the borderline.
Plus près de la limite.
