Lyrics and translation Stephen Bishop - On and On

On and On

Down in Jamaica, they got lots of pretty women
Steal your money then they break your heart
Lonesome Sue, she's in love with old Sam
Take him from the fire into the frying pan

On and on
She just keeps on trying
And she smiles
When she feels like crying
On and on, on and on, on and on

Poor ol' Jimmy sits alone in the moonlight
He saw his woman kiss another man
So he takes a ladder, steals the stars from the sky
Puts on Sinatra and starts to cry

On and on
He just keeps on trying
And he smiles
When he feels like crying
On and on, on and on, on and on

When the first time is the last time
It can make you feel so bad
But if you know it, show it
Hold on tight, don't let her say, "Goodnight"

I got the sun on my shoulders and my toes in the sand
Woman's left me for some other man
But I don't care, I'll just dream and stay tan
Toss up my heart to see where it lands

On and on
I just keep on trying
And I smile
When I feel like dying
On and on, on and on, on and on

On and on, on and on, on and on
On and on, on and on, on and on

On and On

Dans la Jamaïque, il y a beaucoup de jolies femmes
Elles te volent ton argent puis te brisent le cœur
Lonesome Sue, elle est amoureuse du vieux Sam
Elle le sort du feu et le met dans la poêle

On and on
Elle continue d'essayer
Et elle sourit
Quand elle a envie de pleurer
On and on, on and on, on and on

Pauvre Jimmy est assis seul au clair de lune
Il a vu sa femme embrasser un autre homme
Alors il prend une échelle, vole les étoiles du ciel
Met Sinatra et se met à pleurer

On and on
Il continue d'essayer
Et il sourit
Quand il a envie de pleurer
On and on, on and on, on and on

Quand la première fois est la dernière fois
Ça peut te faire tellement mal
Mais si tu le sais, montre-le
Tiens bon, ne la laisse pas dire "Bonne nuit"

J'ai le soleil sur les épaules et les pieds dans le sable
Une femme m'a quitté pour un autre homme
Mais je m'en fiche, je vais juste rêver et rester bronzé
Je lance mon cœur en l'air pour voir où il atterrit

On and on
Je continue d'essayer
Et je souris
Quand j'ai envie de mourir
On and on, on and on, on and on

On and on, on and on, on and on
On and on, on and on, on and on
