Текст песни1 Smalltown - Lou Reed , John Cale translation in French




Smalltown
Petite ville
When you're growing up in a small town
Quand tu grandis dans une petite ville
When you're growing up in a small town
Quand tu grandis dans une petite ville
When you're growing up in a small town
Quand tu grandis dans une petite ville
You say, no one famous ever came from here
Tu dis, personne de célèbre n'est jamais venu d'ici
When you're growing up in a small town
Quand tu grandis dans une petite ville
And you're having a nervous breakdown
Et que tu fais une dépression nerveuse
And you think that you'll never escape it
Et que tu penses que tu ne t'en échapperas jamais
Yourself or the place that you live
De toi-même ou de l'endroit tu vis
Where did Picasso come from
D'où vient Picasso
There's no Michelangelo coming from Pittsburgh
Il n'y a pas de Michel-Ange qui vient de Pittsburgh
If art is the tip of the iceberg
Si l'art est la pointe de l'iceberg
I'm the part sinking below
Je suis la partie qui coule en dessous
When you're growing up in a small town
Quand tu grandis dans une petite ville
Bad skin, bad eyes, gay and fatty
Mauvaise peau, mauvais yeux, gay et gras
People look at you funny
Les gens te regardent bizarrement
When you're in a small town
Quand tu es dans une petite ville
My father worked in construction
Mon père travaillait dans la construction
It's not something for which I'm suited
Ce n'est pas quelque chose pour lequel je suis fait
Oh, what is something for which you are suited
Oh, qu'est-ce qui te convient ?
Getting out of here
Sortir d'ici
I hate being odd in a small town
Je déteste être bizarre dans une petite ville
If they stare let them stare in New York City
S'ils regardent, laisse-les regarder à New York
As this pink eyed painting albino
Comme ce peintre albinos aux yeux roses
How far can my fantasy go
Jusqu'où peut aller mon fantasme
I'm no Dali coming from Pittsburgh
Je ne suis pas un Dali qui vient de Pittsburgh
No adorable lisping Capote
Pas un adorable Capote bègue
My hero, oh, do you think I could meet him
Mon héros, oh, tu penses que je pourrais le rencontrer ?
I'd camp out at his front door
Je camperais devant sa porte
There is only one good thing about small town
Il n'y a qu'une bonne chose à propos d'une petite ville
There is only one good use for a small town
Il n'y a qu'une bonne utilisation pour une petite ville
There is only one good thing about small town
Il n'y a qu'une bonne chose à propos d'une petite ville
You know that you want to get out
Tu sais que tu veux partir
When you're growing up in a small town
Quand tu grandis dans une petite ville
You know you'll grow down in a small town
Tu sais que tu vas grandir dans une petite ville
There is only one good use for a small town
Il n'y a qu'une bonne utilisation pour une petite ville
You hate it and you'll know you have to leave
Tu la détestes et tu sais que tu dois partir
