Lyrics and translation Billy Joel - James - Live at the Great American Music Hall - 1975
James,
we
were
always
friends
James,
nous
étions
toujours
amis
From
our
childhood
days
Depuis
notre
enfance
And
we
made
our
plans
Et
nous
avions
fait
nos
plans
And
we
had
to
go
our
separate
ways
Et
nous
avons
dû
prendre
des
chemins
séparés
I
went
on
the
road
Je
suis
parti
en
tournée
You
pursued
an
education
Tu
as
poursuivi
tes
études
James,
do
you
like
your
life?
James,
aimes-tu
ta
vie ?
Can
you
find
release?
Trouves-tu
un
exutoire ?
And
will
you
ever
change?
Et
changeras-tu
un
jour ?
Will
you
ever
write
your
masterpiece?
Écriras-tu
un
jour
ton
chef-d’œuvre ?
Are
you
still
in
school?
Es-tu
toujours
à
l’école ?
Living
up
to
expectations?
Est-ce
que
tu
réponds
aux
attentes ?
James,
you
were
so
relied
upon
James,
on
comptait
tellement
sur
toi
Everybody
knows
how
hard
you
tried
Tout
le
monde
sait
à
quel
point
tu
as
essayé
Hey,
eh-eh,
eh-ey
Hey,
eh-eh,
eh-ey
I
look
at
what
a
job
you've
done
Je
regarde
le
travail
que
tu
as
accompli
Carrying
the
weight
of
family
pride
Portant
le
poids
de
la
fierté
familiale
James,
you've
been
well-behaved
James,
tu
as
été
bien
élevé
You've
been
working
hard
Tu
as
travaillé
dur
And
will
you
always
stay
Et
resteras-tu
toujours
Someone
else's
dream
of
who
you
are?
Le
rêve
de
quelqu’un
d’autre
sur
qui
tu
es ?
Do
what's
good
for
you
Fais
ce
qui
est
bon
pour
toi
Or
you're
not
good
for
anybody
Ou
tu
ne
seras
bon
pour
personne
James
James
I
went
on

James,
how
you
gonna
know
for
sure?
James,
comment
sauras-tu
avec
certitude ?
Everything
was
so
well
organized
Tout
était
si
bien
organisé
Hey,
eh-eh,
eh-ey
Hey,
eh-eh,
eh-ey
I
know
everything
is
so
secure
Je
sais
que
tout
est
si
sûr
And

Et
que
tout
le
monde
est
satisfait
