Stevie Wonder - Used to Be - translation of the lyrics into French

Lyrics and translation Stevie Wonder - Used to Be




Used to Be
C'était avant
Superman was killed in Dallas
Superman a été tué à Dallas
There's no love left in the palace
Il n'y a plus d'amour dans le palais
Someone took the Beatles' lead guitar
Quelqu'un a pris la guitare lead des Beatles
Have another Chivas Regal
Prends un autre Chivas Regal
It's twelve years old and sex is legal
Il a douze ans et le sexe est légal
Your parents don't know where or who you are
Tes parents ne savent pas ni qui tu es
REFRAIN: Used to be the hero of the ball game
REFRAN: J'étais le héros du match
Took the time to shake the loser's hand
Je prenais le temps de serrer la main du perdant
Used to be that failure only meant you didn't try
J'étais celui pour qui l'échec signifiait juste que tu n'avais pas essayé
In a world where people gave a damn
Dans un monde les gens se souciaient
Great big wars in little place
De grandes guerres dans de petits endroits
Look at all those frightened faces
Regarde tous ces visages effrayés
But don't come here
Mais ne viens pas ici
We just don't have the room
Nous n'avons tout simplement pas de place
Love thy neighbor's wife and daughter
Aime la femme et la fille de ton voisin
Cleanse your life with holy water
Purifie ta vie avec de l'eau bénite
You don't need to pay we've got a few
Tu n'as pas besoin de payer, on en a quelques-uns
REFRAIN 2: Used to be a knight in shining armor
REFRAN 2: J'étais un chevalier en armure brillante
Didn't have to own a shiny car
Je n'avais pas besoin de posséder une voiture brillante
Dignity and courage were the measure of a man
La dignité et le courage étaient la mesure d'un homme
Not the drugs he needs to hide the scar, woh-oh-oh-oh
Pas les drogues dont il a besoin pour cacher la cicatrice, woh-oh-oh-oh
Can you picture me? Does your preacher pray? Does your president have soul? Have you heard a real good ethnic tale today? Mama took to speed and daddy ran away
Peux-tu m'imaginer? Ton pasteur prie-t-il? Ton président a-t-il une âme? As-tu entendu un bon conte ethnique aujourd'hui? Maman s'est mise à la vitesse et papa s'est enfui
But you must'nt lose control
Mais tu ne dois pas perdre le contrôle
Let's cut the class
Coupons la classe
I got some grass
J'ai de l'herbe
The kids are wild, we just can't tame them
Les enfants sont sauvages, on ne peut pas les apprivoiser
Do we have the right to blame them? Pethanol are in to snitch them
Avons-nous le droit de les blâmer? Pethanol est pour les dénoncer
We've rigged their minds with television
Nous avons manipulé leurs esprits avec la télévision
But what the hell, they're too young to feel pain
Mais qu'est-ce que ça peut faire, ils sont trop jeunes pour ressentir la douleur
REFRAIN 3: But believe that love can sing tomorrow
REFRAN 3: Mais crois que l'amour peut chanter demain
Believe the truth can make us free
Crois que la vérité peut nous libérer
Someone tried to say it, then we nailed Him to the cross
Quelqu'un a essayé de le dire, puis nous l'avons cloué sur la croix
I guess it's still the way it used to be.
Je suppose que c'est toujours comme ça.
