Lyrics and translation The Ataris - The Night the Lights Went Out in NYC (Demo)
The
lights
are
out
in
the
city
tonight
Les
lumières
sont
éteintes
dans
la
ville
ce
soir
So
close
your
eyes,
gaze
up
at
the
heavens
Alors
ferme
les
yeux,
regarde
le
ciel
And
see
if
you
can
point
me
out
Et
vois
si
tu
peux
me
montrer
If
I
could
have
one
wish
tonight
Si
je
pouvais
avoir
un
souhait
ce
soir
I′d
wish
upon
a
satellite
Je
souhaiterais
sur
un
satellite
To
bring
me
back
to
you
Pour
me
ramener
à
toi
We
spend
our
whole
lives
searching
for
Nous
passons
toute
notre
vie
à
chercher
All
the
things
we
think
we
want
Toutes
les
choses
que
nous
pensons
vouloir
And
never
really
knowing
what
we
have
Et
sans
jamais
vraiment
savoir
ce
que
nous
avons
So
many
paths
that
we
can
take
Tant
de
chemins
que
nous
pouvons
prendre
To
bring
us
to
our
destiny
Pour
nous
amener
à
notre
destin
Gaze
up
at
the
heavens
Regarde
le
ciel
And
see
if
you
can
point
me
out
Et
vois
si
tu
peux
me
montrer
If
I
could
have
one
wish
tonight
Si
je
pouvais
avoir
un
souhait
ce
soir
I'd
wish
upon
a
satellite
Je
souhaiterais
sur
un
satellite
To
bring
me
back
to
you
Pour
me
ramener
à
toi
We
spend
our
whole
lives
searching
for
Nous
passons
toute
notre
vie
à
chercher
All
the
things
we
think
we
want
Toutes
les
choses
que
nous
pensons
vouloir
And
never
really
knowing
what
we
have
Et
sans
jamais
vraiment
savoir
ce
que
nous
avons
Be
careful
what
you
wish
for
Fais
attention
à
ce
que
tu
souhaites
These
stars
are
fading
out.
Ces
étoiles
s'éteignent.
