Lyrics and translation Jonathan Richman - Our Drab Ways
You
are
the
light
of
the
world
Tu
es
la
lumière
du
monde
So
why
is
your
world
so
grey?
Alors
pourquoi
ton
monde
est-il
si
gris
?
You
are
the
light
of
the
world

es
la
lumière
du
monde
So
why
are
you
so
bored?
Alors
pourquoi
es-tu
si
ennuyée
?
Are
you
tired
Es-tu
fatiguée
Of
your
drab
ways
De
tes
manières
tristes
Them
drabbin',
stagment
ways
Ces
manières
tristes
et
stagnantes
You
are
the
light
of
the
world
Tu
es
la
lumière
du
monde
So
why
the
frozen
stare?
Alors
pourquoi
ce
regard
figé
?
You
are
the
light
of
the
world
Tu
es
la
lumière
du
monde
So
why
the
assisted
days
Alors
pourquoi
ces
journées
assistées
In
the
haze
Dans
la
brume
Of
your
drab
ways
De
tes
manières
tristes
Them
drabbin,
stagment
ways
Ces
manières
tristes
et
stagnantes
Daze
Étourdissements
Glaze
Glaçage
Haze
Brume
Oh
stuck
in
your
drab
ways
Oh,
coincée
dans
tes
manières
tristes
Are
the
days

les
jours
Oh
arent
you
tired
Oh,
n'es-tu
pas
fatiguée
Arent
you
tired
N'es-tu
pas

You
return
to
them
drab
ways
Tu
retournes
à
ces
manières
tristes
Them
drabbing,
stagment,
ways
Ces
manières
tristes
et
stagnantes
There's
a
bomb
Il
y
a
une
bombe
There's
a
song
Il
y
a
une
chanson
So
why
are
we
such
orphans?
Alors
pourquoi
sommes-nous
de
tels
orphelins
?
There's
a
bomb
Il
y
a
une
bombe
There
are
ways
Il
y
a
des
moyens
But
we
prefer
the
daze
Mais
nous
préférons
l'étourdissement
And
the
glaze
Et
le

Of
our
drab
ways
De
nos
manières
tristes
Mm
Mm
Them
drabbin,
stagment
ways
Ces
