Lyrics and translation Taj Mahal - Eighteen Hammers
I
wish
that
I
was
eighteen,
J'aimerais
avoir
dix-huit
ans,
To
do
all
the
things,
Pour
faire
tout
ce
que
tu
fais,
You
read
in
a
magazine,
Que
tu
lis
dans
les
magazines,
I'm
not
saying
I
want
to
be
Charlie
Sheen.
Je
ne
dis
pas
que
je
veux
être
Charlie
Sheen.
She's
just
a
little
bit
older
but,
Tu
es
juste
un
peu
plus
âgée,
mais,
I
want
to
get
to
know
her,
Je
veux
te
connaître,
And
she
said
it's
already
over
Et
tu
as
dit
que
c'était
déjà
fini,
So
tell
me
what
else
can
I
do?
Alors
dis-moi
quoi
d'autre
je
peux
faire ?
I
bought
my
fake
ID
for
you.
J'ai
acheté
une
fausse
carte
d'identité
pour
toi.
She
told
me
to
meet
her
there,
Tu
m'as
dit
de
te
rencontrer
là-bas,
I
can't
afford
the
bus
fare,
Je
n'ai
pas
les
moyens
de
prendre
le
bus,
I'm
not
old
enough
for
her,
Je
ne
suis
pas
assez
vieux
pour
toi,
I'm
just
waiting
'till
I'm
eighteen.
J'attends
juste
d'avoir
dix-huit
ans.
I
think
she
wants
to
get
with
me,
Je
pense
que
tu
veux
être
avec
moi,
But
she's
got
a
job
in
the
city,
Mais
tu
as
un
travail
en
ville,
Says
that
she's
always
too
busy.
Tu
dis
que
tu
es
toujours
trop
occupée.
She's
got
a
naughty
tattoo,
Tu
as
un
tatouage
coquin,
In
a
place
that
I
want
to
get
to,
À
un
endroit
où
je
veux
aller,
But
my
mom
still
drives
me
to
school.
Mais
ma
mère
me
conduit
toujours
à
l'école.
So
tell
me
what
else
can
I
do?
Alors
dis-moi
quoi
d'autre
je
peux
faire ?
I
bought
my
fake
ID
for
you.
J'ai
acheté
une
fausse
carte
d'identité
pour
toi.
She
told
me
to
meet
her
there,
Tu
m'as
dit
de
te
rencontrer
là-bas,
I
can't
afford
the
bus
fare,
Je
n'ai
pas
les
moyens
de
prendre
le
bus,
I'm
not
old
enough
for
her,
Je
ne
suis
pas
assez
vieux
pour
toi,
I'm
just
waiting
'till
I'm
eighteen.
J'attends
juste
d'avoir
dix-huit
ans.
You
got
me
waiting
in
a
queue,
Tu
me
fais
attendre
dans
une
file
d'attente,
For
a
bar
I
can't
get
in
to,
Pour
un
bar
où
je
ne
peux
pas
entrer,
I'm
not
old
enough
for
you,
Je
ne
suis
pas
assez
vieux
pour
toi,
I'm
just
waiting
'till
I'm
eighteen.
J'attends
juste
d'avoir
dix-huit
ans.
In
my
bedroom
thinking
of
her,
Dans
ma
chambre,
je
pense
à
toi,
Your
pictures
in
my
private
folder,
Tes
photos
dans
mon
dossier
privé,
I
know
one
day
that
I
will
hold
her,
Je
sais
qu'un
jour
je
te
tiendrai
dans
mes
bras,
I'll
make
my
move
when
I
get
older.
Je
ferai
mon
move
quand
je
serai
plus
vieux.
She
told
me
to
meet
her
there,
Tu
m'as
dit
de
te
rencontrer
là-bas,
I
can't
afford
the
bus

Je

pour
toi,
I'm
just
waiting
till
I'm
eighteen
J'attends
juste
d'avoir
dix-huit
ans
You
got
me
waiting
in
a
queue,
Tu
me
fais
attendre
dans
une
file
d'attente,
For
a
bar
I
can't

ans
I'm
so
sick
of
waiting
till
I'm
eighteen.
Je
suis
tellement
malade
d'attendre
d'avoir
dix-huit
ans.
