Lyrics and translation Cy Coleman - Everybody Today Is Turning On (From "I Love My Wife")




Everybody Today Is Turning On (From "I Love My Wife")
Tout le monde aujourd'hui s'allume (De "J'aime ma femme")
For some it's grass, for some it's coke
Pour certains, c'est l'herbe, pour d'autres, c'est la coke
For some it's powder, for some it's smoke
Pour certains, c'est la poudre, pour d'autres, c'est la fumée
Everybody today is turning on
Tout le monde aujourd'hui s'allume
For some it's dust, for some it's booze
Pour certains, c'est la poussière, pour d'autres, c'est l'alcool
For some it's upburst to chase the blues
Pour certains, c'est un élan pour chasser le blues
Everybody today is turning on
Tout le monde aujourd'hui s'allume
Time was when if a fella felt depressed
Autrefois, si un homme se sentait déprimé
He simply got it off his chest
Il se levait simplement de sa poitrine
By calling on a preacher, talking to his teacher
En faisant appel à un prédicateur, en parlant à son professeur
Coughing up a half a buck to see a double feature
En toussant un demi-dollar pour voir un double long métrage
But now it's pills, and now it's pot
Mais maintenant, ce sont des pilules, et maintenant, c'est de la marijuana
And now it's poppers, and God knows what
Et maintenant, ce sont des poppers, et Dieu sait quoi
Sniff, swig, puff, and your cares are gone
Sniffe, bois, fume, et vos soucis disparaissent
Everybody today is turning on
Tout le monde aujourd'hui s'allume
The simple life it must have been
La vie simple, elle devait être
When smoke was lucky's and high was gin
Quand la fumée était la chance et le high était le gin
One pink lady and how it turned them on
Une pink lady et comme elle les allumait
When junk was trash and speed was swift
Quand le junk était des ordures et la vitesse était rapide
And glue was pasted instead of sniffed
Et la colle était collée au lieu d'être reniflée
Coke and aspirin, and wow, it turned them on
La coke et l'aspirine, et waouh, ça les allumait
Those days when ever folks were feeling low
Ces jours-là, quand les gens se sentaient déprimés
They knew that they could get a glow
Ils savaient qu'ils pouvaient avoir une lueur
And chase away the vapors, laughing at the capers
Et chasser les vapeurs, riant des singeries
Hands were first for pulling in the Sunday funny papers
Les mains étaient les premières à tirer les journaux amusants du dimanche
But now it's- and down it goes
Mais maintenant, c'est - et ça descend
Around your windpipe and up your nose
Autour de votre trachée et jusqu'à votre nez
Sniff, swig, puff, and your cares are gone
Sniffe, bois, fume, et vos soucis disparaissent
Everybody today is turning on
Tout le monde aujourd'hui s'allume
Hey, remember when high was up and kicks were tame
Hé, tu te souviens quand le high était haut et les coups étaient doux
And Amyl Nitrate was some guy's name
Et Amyl Nitrate était le nom d'un homme
Holding hands and smooching was turning on
Se tenir la main et s'embrasser, c'était s'allumer
Hash should fry, grass should clip
Le hachich devrait frire, l'herbe devrait être coupée
And off to grandma's was such a trip
Et aller chez grand-mère était un tel voyage
Jiving to Eddie Duchin was turning on
Jiver à Eddie Duchin, c'était s'allumer
Those days when if your nerves were kind of shot
Ces jours-là, si vos nerfs étaient un peu atteints
Instead of going right to pot
Au lieu d'aller directement à la marijuana
You prayed to hold it steady, kept a Bible ready
Tu priais pour tenir bon, tu tenais une Bible prête
Took advice from Rabbi Weiss or Mary Baker Eddy
Tu as reçu des conseils du rabbin Weiss ou de Mary Baker Eddy
But with a world so much amiss
Mais avec un monde tellement en erreur
How can a whiskey beat cannabis?
Comment un whisky peut-il battre le cannabis ?
Sniff, swig, puff, and your cares are temporarily gone
Sniffe, bois, fume, et vos soucis disparaissent temporairement
Everybody today is turning
Tout le monde aujourd'hui s'allume
Right and left, those Georges are burning
Droite et gauche, ces Georges brûlent
Tax-free loots some push is earning
Le butin sans taxe que certains poussent est en train de gagner
Kids know how not that is learning
Les enfants savent comment, pas ça qui apprend
Everybody today is turning on
Tout le monde aujourd'hui s'allume
