Lyrics and translation Paul Simon - All Around the World or the Myth of Fingerprints (with Los Lobos)
Over
the
mountain,
down
in
the
valley
Au-dessus
de
la
montagne,
en
bas
dans
la
vallée
Lives
a
former
talk-show
host
Vit
un
ancien
animateur
de
talk-show
Everybody
knows
his
name
Tout
le
monde
connaît
son
nom
He
says,
there's
no
doubt
about
it
Il
dit,
il
n'y
a
aucun
doute
à
ce
sujet
It
was
the
myth
of
fingerprints
C'était
le
mythe
des
empreintes
digitales
I've
seen
them
all
and
man,
they're
all
the
same
Je
les
ai
vues
toutes
et
mon
Dieu,
elles
sont
toutes
pareilles
Well,
the
sun
gets
weary
and
the
sun
goes
down
Eh
bien,
le
soleil
se
fatigue
et
le
soleil
se
couche
Ever
since
the
watermelon
Depuis
la
pastèque
And
the
lights
come
up
on
the
black
pit
town
Et
les
lumières
s'allument
sur
la
ville
noire
Somebody
says,
what's
a
better
thing
to
do
Quelqu'un
dit,
quoi
de
mieux
à
faire
Well,
it's
not
just
me
and
it's
not
just
you
Eh
bien,
ce
n'est
pas
juste
moi
et
ce
n'est
pas
juste
toi
This
is
all
around
the
world
C'est
partout
dans
le
monde
Out
in
the
Indian
Ocean
somewhere
Quelque
part
dans
l'océan
Indien
There's
a
former
army
post
Il
y
a
un
ancien
poste
militaire
Abandoned
now
just
like
the
war
Abandonné
maintenant
tout
comme
la
guerre
And
there's
no
doubt
about
it
Et
il
n'y
a
aucun
doute
à
ce
sujet
It
was
the
myth
of
fingerprints
C'était
le
mythe
des
empreintes
digitales
That's
what
that
old
army
post
was
for
C'est
à
ça
que
servait
ce
vieux
poste
militaire
Well,
the
sun
gets
bloody
and
the
sun
goes
down
Eh
bien,
le
soleil
devient
sanglant
et
le
soleil
se
couche
Ever
since
the
watermelon
Depuis
la
pastèque
And
the
lights
come
up
on
the
black
pit
town
Et
les
lumières
s'allument
sur
la
ville
noire
Somebody
says,
what's
a
better
thing
to
do
Quelqu'un
dit,
quoi
de
mieux
à
faire
Well,
it's
not
just
me
and
it's
not
just
you
Eh
bien,
ce
n'est
pas
juste
moi
et
ce
n'est
pas
juste
toi
This
is
all
around
the
world
C'est
partout
dans
le
monde
Over

Lives

Far
