Lyrics and translation Harry Nilsson - Spaceman

Spaceman

Cosmonaute

Bang! Bang! Shoot em' up, destiny

Bang! Bang! Tire-les, destin

Bang! Bang! Shoot em' up to the moon

Bang! Bang! Tire-les vers la lune

Bang! Bang! Shoot em' up one, two, three

Bang! Bang! Tire-les, un, deux, trois

One, two, three, four

Un, deux, trois, quatre

I wanted to be a spaceman

Je voulais être un cosmonaute

That's what I wanted to be

C'est ce que je voulais être

But now that I am a spaceman

Mais maintenant que je suis un cosmonaute

Nobody cares about me

Personne ne se soucie de moi

Hey, Mother Earth

Hé, Terre Mère

Won't ya bring me back down

Tu ne veux pas me ramener en bas

Safely to the sea?

Sûrement jusqu'à la mer ?

But 'round and around and around and around

Mais autour et autour et autour et autour

Is all she ever say to me

C'est tout ce qu'elle me dit

I wanted to make a good run

Je voulais faire un bon tour

I wanted to go to the moon

Je voulais aller sur la lune

I knew that it had to be fun

Je savais que ça devait être amusant

I told 'em to send me real soon

Je leur ai dit de m'envoyer bientôt

I wanted to be a spaceman

Je voulais être un cosmonaute

I wanted to be it so bad

Je voulais tellement l'être

But now that I am a spaceman

Mais maintenant que je suis un cosmonaute

I'd rather be back on the pad

Je préférerais être de retour sur le pas de tir

Hey, Mother Earth

Hé, Terre Mère

Won't ya bring me back down

Tu ne veux pas me ramener en bas

Safely to the sea?

Sûrement jusqu'à la mer ?

Around and around and around and around

Autour et autour et autour et autour

Is just a lot of lunacy

N'est que beaucoup de folie

(Yeah, yeah)

(Ouais, ouais)

'Round and around and around and around and around

Autour et autour et autour et autour et autour

(So bring me back down)

(Alors ramène-moi en bas)

'Round and around and around and around and around

Autour et autour et autour et autour et autour

Safe on the ground

Sûr sur le sol

Hey, Mother Earth

Hé, Terre Mère

Better bring me back down

Tu ferais mieux de me ramener en bas

Safely to the sea

Sûrement jusqu'à la mer

But 'round and around and around and around

Mais autour et autour et autour et autour

Is all she ever say to me, yeah

C'est tout ce qu'elle me dit, oui

You know I wanted to be a spaceman

Tu sais que je voulais être un cosmonaute

That's what I wanted to be

C'est ce que je voulais être

But now that I am a spaceman

Mais maintenant que je suis un cosmonaute

Nobody cares about me

Personne ne se soucie de moi

Say, hey! You, Mother Earth

Dis, hé ! Toi, Terre Mère

You better bring me back down

Tu ferais mieux de me ramener en bas

I've taken just as much as I can

J'en ai eu assez

But 'round and around and around and around

Mais autour et autour et autour et autour

Is the problem of a spaceman

Est le problème d'un cosmonaute
