Lyrics and translation Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street

Baker Street

Winding your way down on Baker Street
Light in your head and dead on your feet
Well, another crazy day
You'll drink the night away
And forget about ev'rything
This city desert makes you feel so cold
It's got so many people, but it's got no soul
And it's taken you so long
To find out you were wrong
When you thought it held everything
You used to think that it was so easy
You used to say that it was so easy
But you're tryin', you're tryin' now
Another year and then you'd be happy
Just one more year and then you'd be happy
But you're cryin', you're cryin' now
Way down the street there's a light in his place
He opens the door, he's got that look on his face
And he asks you where you've been
You tell him who you've seen
And you talk about anything
He's got this dream about buying some land
He's gonna give up the booze and the one-night stands
And then he'll settle down
In some quiet little town
And forget about ev'rything
But you know he'll always keep movin'
You know he's never gonna stop movin'
'Cause he's rollin', he's the rolling stone
When you wake up, it's a new mornin'
The sun is shinin', it's a new mornin'
You're goin', you're goin' home

Baker Street

Tu marches sur Baker Street
La tête pleine de lumière et les pieds lourds
Eh bien, encore une journée folle
Tu vas boire toute la nuit
Et oublier tout
Ce désert de ville te fait sentir si froid
Il y a tellement de gens, mais il n'a pas d'âme
Et ça t'a pris si longtemps
Pour découvrir que tu avais tort
Quand tu pensais qu'il contenait tout
Tu pensais que c'était si facile
Tu disais que c'était si facile
Mais tu essaies, tu essaies maintenant
Encore un an et tu serais heureux
Juste un an de plus et tu serais heureux
Mais tu pleures, tu pleures maintenant
En bas de la rue, il y a une lumière chez lui
Il ouvre la porte, il a ce regard sur son visage
Et il te demande où tu as été
Tu lui dis qui tu as vu
Et tu parles de n'importe quoi
Il a ce rêve d'acheter un terrain
Il va arrêter la boisson et les aventures d'un soir
Et puis il va s'installer
Dans une petite ville tranquille
Et oublier tout
Mais tu sais qu'il continuera toujours à bouger
Tu sais qu'il ne cessera jamais de bouger
Parce qu'il roule, il est la pierre qui roule
Quand tu te réveilles, c'est un nouveau matin
Le soleil brille, c'est un nouveau matin
Tu rentres, tu rentres à la maison
