Lyrics and translation Paul Simon - Tick Tock

Tick Tock

Tick tock tick tick tock tick tock tick
Tick tock tick tock tick tick tock
Tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock

Well I'm waiting for my baby doll
She's two hours late
Well now it's almost ten o'clock
She said she'd be here 8
I'm looking at my watch I wonder
How long I must wait

And I hear
Tick tock tick tick tock tick tock tick
Tick tock tick tock tick tick tock
Tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock

Well I'm all dressed up and ready to go
Where can she be?
I wonder if she stood me up
She can't do that to me
Well now it's almost eleven o'clock
I guess I'll wait and see

Hearing
Tick tock tick tick tock tick tock tick
Tick tock tick tock tick tick tock
Tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock

Well now it's almost twelve o'clock
And out here in a stound
Should I stay or go back home
I don't know what to do
One thing that I know for sure
That girl and I are through

I'm hearing
Tick tock tick tick tock tick tock tick
Tick tock tick tock tick tick tock
Tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock

Tick tock tick tick tock tick tock tick
Tick tock tick tock tick tick tock...

Tic Tock

Tic tac tic tac tic tac tic tac
Tic tac tic tac tic tic tac
Tic tac tic tac tic tac tic tac

Je t'attends, mon poupon
Tu as deux heures de retard
Il est presque dix heures
Tu as dit que tu serais là à huit heures
Je regarde ma montre, je me demande
Combien de temps je dois attendre

Et j'entends
Tic tac tic tac tic tac tic tac
Tic tac tic tac tic tic tac
Tic tac tic tac tic tac tic tac

Je suis tout habillé et prêt à y aller
Où peux-tu bien être ?
Je me demande si tu m'as planté
Tu ne peux pas me faire ça
Il est presque onze heures
Je suppose que j'attendrai et je verrai

J'entends
Tic tac tic tac tic tac tic tac
Tic tac tic tac tic tic tac
Tic tac tic tac tic tac tic tac

Il est presque minuit
Et ici, dans ce vent
Devrais-je rester ou rentrer chez moi ?
Je ne sais pas quoi faire
Une chose que je sais avec certitude
C'est que cette fille et moi, on en a fini

J'entends
Tic tac tic tac tic tac tic tac
Tic tac tic tac tic tic tac
Tic tac tic tac tic tac tic tac

Tic tac tic tac tic tac tic tac
Tic tac tic tac tic tic tac...
