Lyrics and translation Regina Spektor feat. Ben Folds - You Don't Know Me (Seeds)
You Don't Know Me (Seeds)
Tu ne me connais pas (Graines)
I
wanna
ask
you
-
Je
veux
te
demander
-
Do
you
ever
sit
and
wonder,
Est-ce
que
tu
t'assois
parfois
et
tu
te
demandes,
It's
so
strange
C'est
tellement
étrange
That
we
could
be
together
for
Qu'on
puisse
être
ensemble
pendant
So
long,
and
never
know,
never
care
Si
longtemps,
et
ne
jamais
savoir,
ne
jamais
se
soucier
What
goes
on
in
the
other
one's
head?
De
ce
qui
se
passe
dans
la
tête
de
l'autre
?
Things
I've
felt
but
I've
never
said
Des
choses
que
j'ai
ressenties
mais
que
je
n'ai
jamais
dites
You
said
things
that
I
never
said
Tu
as
dit
des
choses
que
je
n'ai
jamais
dites
So
I'll
say
something
that
I
should
have
said
long
ago:
Alors
je
vais
dire
quelque
chose
que
j'aurais
dû
dire
il
y
a
longtemps
:
(You
don't
know
me)
(Tu
ne
me
connais
pas)
You
don't
know
me
at
all
Tu
ne
me
connais
pas
du
tout
(You
don't
know
me)
(Tu
ne
me
connais
pas)
You
don't
know
me
at
all
(at
all)
Tu
ne
me
connais
pas
du
tout
(du
tout)
You
could
have
just
propped
me
up
on
the
table
like
a
mannequin
Tu
aurais
pu
simplement
me
poser
sur
la
table
comme
un
mannequin
Or
a
cardboard
stand-up
and
paint
me
(paint
me)
Ou
un
carton
à
découper
et
me
peindre
(me
peindre)
Any
face
that
you
wanted
me
N'importe
quel
visage
que
tu
voulais
que
j'aie
To
be
seen.
Pour
être
vue.
Damned
by
the
existential
moment
where
Damnés
par
le
moment
existentiel
où
We
saw
the
couple
in
the
coma
and
On
a
vu
le
couple
dans
le
coma
et
It
was
we
were
the
cliche,
C'était
nous
le
cliché,
But
we
carried
on
anyway.
Mais
on
a
continué
quand
même.
So,
sure,
I
could
just
close
my
eyes.
Alors,
oui,
je
pourrais
simplement
fermer
les
yeux.
Yeah,
sure,
trace
and
memorize,
Oui,
bien
sûr,
tracer
et
mémoriser,
But
can
you
go
back
once
you
know
Mais
peux-tu
revenir
une
fois
que
tu
sais
(You
don't
know
me)
(Tu
ne
me
connais
pas)
You
don't
know
me
at
all
Tu
ne
me
connais
pas
du
tout
(You
don't
know
me)
(Tu
ne
me
connais
pas)
You
don't
know
me
at
all
(at
all)
Tu
ne
me
connais
pas
du
tout
(du
tout)
(You
don't
know
me)
(Tu
ne
me
connais
pas)
You
don't
know
me
at
all
Tu
ne
me
connais
pas
du
tout
(You
don't
know
me)
(Tu
ne
me
connais
pas)
You
don't
know
me
Tu
ne
me
connais
pas
If
I'm
the
person
that
you
think
I
am
(Ah
ah
ahh)
Si
je
suis
la
personne
que
tu
penses
que
je
suis
(Ah
ah
ah)
Clueless
chump
you
seem
to
think
I
am
(Ah
ah
ahhh)
Un
idiot
sans
cervelle
que
tu
penses
que
je
suis
(Ah
ah
ah)
So
easily
led
astray,
Si
facilement
égaré,
An
errant
dog
who
occasionally
escapes
and
needs
a
shorter
leash,
then
Un
chien
errant
qui
s'échappe
parfois
et
qui
a
besoin
d'une
laisse
plus
courte,
alors
Why
the
fuck
would
you
want
me
back?!
Pourquoi
diable
voudrais-tu
me
récupérer
?!
Maybe
it's
because
Peut-être
que
c'est
parce
que
(You
don't
know
me
at
all)
(Tu
ne
me
connais
pas
du
tout)
(You
don't
know
me,
(Tu
ne
me
connais
pas,
You
don't
know
me.)
Tu
ne
me
connais
pas.)
So,
what
I'm
trying
to
say
is
Donc,
ce
que
j'essaie
de
dire
c'est
What
(What?)
Quoi
(Quoi
?)
I'm
trying
to
tell
you
J'essaie
de
te
dire
It's
not
gonna
come
out
like
I
wanna
Ça
ne
va
pas
sortir
comme
je
veux
Say
it
cause
I
know
you'll
only
change
it.
Le
dire
parce
que
je
sais
que
tu
vas
juste
le
changer.
(You
don't
know
me)

ne
me
connais
pas)
You
don't
know
me
at
all
Tu
