Lyrics and translation Everything But the Girl - Downhill Racer (Kenny Dope Remix)

Downhill Racer (Kenny Dope Remix)

From the top you can see so far into the distance

Du haut, tu peux voir si loin dans la distance

Look it's downhill all the way from here

Regarde, c'est en descente tout le chemin à partir d'ici

Getting there is quicker like going you just slide

S'y rendre est plus rapide, comme si tu glissaies

Shouldn't take more then a year

Ça ne devrait pas prendre plus d'un an

I could almost like you

J'ai presque pu t'aimer

Now it's nearly over

Maintenant, c'est presque fini

Now you've shown some weaknesses

Maintenant, tu as montré des faiblesses

Now you're looking older

Maintenant, tu parais plus âgé

And i heard what you said

Et j'ai entendu ce que tu as dit

And i recognise those feelings

Et je reconnais ces sentiments

I know how hard it is to watch you go

Je sais combien il est difficile de te voir partir

And all the effort that it took to get here in the first place

Et tous les efforts qu'il a fallu pour arriver ici en premier lieu

And all the effort not to let the effort show

Et tous les efforts pour ne pas laisser les efforts paraître

And i could almost like you

Et j'ai presque pu t'aimer

Now you're falling over

Maintenant, tu tombes

Now you're feeling hopeless

Maintenant, tu te sens désespéré

Now you're looking over your shoulder

Maintenant, tu regardes par-dessus ton épaule

Who's gonna come and find you?

Qui va venir te trouver ?

Who's coming up behind you?

Qui est derrière toi ?

If you can ride the backlash

Si tu peux chevaucher le contrecoup

There's still time for a comeback

Il reste du temps pour un retour

You don't have to lie down and die

Tu n'as pas besoin de t'allonger et de mourir

But lazarus only did it the one time

Mais Lazare ne l'a fait qu'une seule fois

He couldn't face another try

Il ne pouvait pas affronter un autre essai

And i could almost like you

Et j'ai presque pu t'aimer

Now it's really over

Maintenant, c'est vraiment fini

Now you've shown some weakness

Maintenant, tu as montré des faiblesses

Now you're looking over your shoulder

Maintenant, tu regardes par-dessus ton épaule

Who's gonna come and find you?

Qui va venir te trouver ?

And who's coming up behind you?

Et qui est derrière toi ?
