Lyrics and translation Joe Jackson - Precious Time
A
million
tiny
lights
are
strung
across
the
western
sky
Un
million
de
petites
lumières
sont
accrochées
à
travers
le
ciel
occidental
They
burn
to
light
our
mission
Elles
brûlent
pour
éclairer
notre
mission
But
it′s
just
a
million
lonely
hearts
Mais
ce
ne
sont
que
des
millions
de
cœurs
solitaires
Strung
out
from
never
asking
why
Perdus
sans
jamais
avoir
cherché
pourquoi
We
burn
with
blind
ambition
Nous
brûlons
d'une
ambition
aveugle
I
heard
somebody
say
J'ai
entendu
quelqu'un
dire
I
don't
regret
my
wedding
day
Je
ne
regrette
pas
mon
jour
de
mariage
But
something′s
wrong
Mais
quelque
chose
ne
va
pas
It's
not
the
same
Ce
n'est
pas
pareil
I'm
lonely
and
I′d
start
again
Je
suis
seul
et
je
recommencerais
If
I
had
the
time
Si
j'avais
le
temps
Precious
time
Temps
précieux
But
I
don′t
ask
much
Mais
je
ne
demande
pas
beaucoup
Just
to
keep
in
touch
Juste
rester
en
contact
And
waste
a
little
of
your
precious
time
Et
gaspiller
un
peu
de
ton
temps
précieux
Waste
a
little
of
your
precious
time
Gaspiller
un
peu
de
ton
temps
précieux
A
million
dollars
never
justified
a
million
lies
Un
million
de
dollars
n'a
jamais
justifié
un
million
de
mensonges
To
jockey
for
position
Pour
se
hisser
à
la
position
And
if
two
hearts
can't
beat
as
one
Et
si
deux
cœurs
ne
peuvent
pas
battre
à
l'unisson
How
can
a
million
souls
survive
Comment
un
million
d'âmes
peuvent-elles
survivre
In
this
world
of
suspicion
Dans
ce
monde
de
suspicion
I
heard
somebody
say
J'ai
entendu
quelqu'un
dire
I
dream
about
my
wedding
day
Je
rêve
de
mon
jour
de
mariage
Through
lonely
nights
A
travers
des
nuits
solitaires
I
dream
of
you
Je
rêve
de
toi
A
lover
though
a
friend
would
do
Une
amoureuse,
même
si
un
ami
ferait
l'affaire
I′d
find
him
if
I
had
the
time
Je
le
trouverais
si
j'avais
le
temps
Precious
time
Temps
précieux
But
I
don't
ask
much
Mais
je
ne
demande
pas
beaucoup
Just
to
keep
in
touch
Juste
rester
en
contact
And
waste
a
little
of
your
precious
time
Et
gaspiller
un
peu
de
ton
temps
précieux
Waste
a
little
of
your
precious
time
Gaspiller
un
peu
de
ton
temps
précieux
And
just
a
smile′s
enough
Et
juste
un
sourire
suffit
Just
some
of
that
human
stuff
Juste
un
peu
de
cette
chose
humaine
And
waste
a
little
of
your
precious
time
Et
gaspiller
un
peu
de
ton
temps
précieux
Precious
time
Temps
précieux
