Lyrics and translation Strawbs - Absent Friend (How I Need You Now)




Absent Friend (How I Need You Now)
Ami absent (Comme j'ai besoin de toi maintenant)
My ashtray's flowing over,
Mon cendrier déborde,
And the 'phone's left off the hook.
Et le téléphone est décroché.
I've been staring for three hours
Je fixe la première page d'un livre
At the first page of a book.
Depuis trois heures.
Day and night I keep the curtains drawn,
Jour et nuit, je garde les rideaux tirés,
And curse the very day that I was born,
Et je maudis le jour je suis né,
And get to thinking,
Et je me mets à penser,
How I need you,
Comme j'ai besoin de toi,
I keep staring at my wristwatch,
Je n'arrête pas de regarder ma montre,
Until it's ticking fills the room,
Jusqu'à ce que son tic-tac remplisse la pièce,
And the hollow sound reminds me
Et le son creux me rappelle
Of the silence of a tomb,
Le silence d'un tombeau,
And as the ceiling and the walls close in,
Et comme le plafond et les murs se resserrent,
And the furniture begins to spin,
Et que les meubles commencent à tourner,
How I need you,
Comme j'ai besoin de toi,
And as the days go passing by,
Et comme les jours passent,
How I need you.
Comme j'ai besoin de toi.
Days turn into weeks,
Les jours se transforment en semaines,
And it doesn't get much better,
Et ça ne s'améliore pas beaucoup,
How I need you.
Comme j'ai besoin de toi.
As I reel against the wall,
Alors que je titube contre le mur,
And my musty head is aching
Et que ma tête moite me fait mal,
As I stagger down the hall;
Alors que je titube dans le couloir;
Then I fill the broken glass once more,
Ensuite, je remplis le verre brisé une fois de plus,
And fling the empty bottle to the floor,
Et je lance la bouteille vide par terre,
And get to thinking,
Et je me mets à penser,
How I need you ...
Comme j'ai besoin de toi ...
