Lyrics and translation The Kinks - A Long Way from Home - 2014 Remaster Stereo

A Long Way from Home - 2014 Remaster Stereo

Un long chemin à parcourir depuis la maison - Remaster Stéréo 2014

You've come a long way from the runny-nosed and scruffy kid I knew

Tu as fait beaucoup de chemin depuis l'enfant au nez qui coulait et à l'air négligé que je connaissais

You had such good ways

Tu avais si bonne mine

I can remember the little things that always made you smile

Je me souviens des petites choses qui te faisaient toujours sourire

They made you happy

Elles te rendaient heureux

Now you think you're wiser because you're older

Maintenant tu penses être plus sage parce que tu es plus âgé

And you think

Et tu penses

That money buys everything

Que l'argent achète tout

And you think

Et tu penses

That you need no one to guide you

Que tu n'as besoin de personne pour te guider

But you're still a long way from home.

Mais tu es encore loin de chez toi.

You've come a long way, you're self-assured and dressed in funny clothes

Tu as fait beaucoup de chemin, tu es sûr de toi et tu portes des vêtements bizarres

But you don't know me.

Mais tu ne me connais pas.

I hope you find what you are looking for

J'espère que tu trouveras ce que tu cherches

With your car and your handmade overcoats

Avec ta voiture et tes manteaux faits main

But your wealth will never make you stronger

Mais ta richesse ne te rendra jamais plus fort

'Cos you're still a long way from home

Parce que tu es encore loin de chez toi

Yea, you're still a long way from home

Oui, tu es encore loin de chez toi
