Lyrics and translation The Kinks - Nothing to Say (Mono Version)

Nothing to Say (Mono Version)

Rien à dire (Version Mono)

Remember walking with you by my side

Tu te rappelles quand on se promenait côte à côte ?

You were my Papa and I was your pride

Tu étais mon papa et j'étais ta fierté.

Now I've got children and I'm going grey

Maintenant, j'ai des enfants et je suis en train de blanchir.

No time for talking I got nothin' to say

Je n'ai pas le temps de parler, je n'ai rien à dire.

Those Sunday dinners that we had at home

Ces dîners du dimanche que l'on avait à la maison.

Now I've got a house and I've got friends of my own

Maintenant, j'ai une maison et des amis à moi.

We can't do tomorrow what we did yesterday

On ne peut pas faire demain ce qu'on a fait hier.

It's best that we're going our separate ways, OK

Il vaut mieux qu'on aille chacun de notre côté, OK ?

How is your rheumatism (nothing to say)

Comment va ton rhumatisme ? (Rien à dire)

How are your chillblains (nothing to say)

Comment vont tes engelures ? (Rien à dire)

How's Aunty Mabel (nothing to say)

Comment va tante Mabel ? (Rien à dire)

So far Papa, I got nothin' to say, OK

Jusqu'ici, Papa, je n'ai rien à dire, OK ?

Those happy days we spent together

Ces jours heureux que l'on a passés ensemble.

We thought our world would never change

On pensait que notre monde ne changerait jamais.

How the days go by

Comme les jours passent vite.

And things will never be the same

Et les choses ne seront plus jamais les mêmes.

You keep pretending that everything's fine

Tu continues à faire semblant que tout va bien.

So you make small talk to help pass the time

Alors tu bavardes pour faire passer le temps.

But all the words that you spit from your face

Mais tous les mots que tu craches de ta bouche.

Add up to nothin' you got nothin' to say

Ne signifient rien, tu n'as rien à dire.

How are those noisy neighbors next door

Comment vont ces voisins bruyants d'à côté ?

I'll have to go soon 'cos I'm getting bored

Je dois partir bientôt, je m'ennuie.

I gotta be home early to see a good play

Je dois rentrer tôt pour voir une bonne pièce de théâtre.

So far Papa, I got nothin' to say

Jusqu'ici, Papa, je n'ai rien à dire.

How is your life insurance (nothing to say)

Comment va ton assurance vie ? (Rien à dire)

How is your trade union (nothing to say)

Comment va ton syndicat ? (Rien à dire)

How is your Independence (nothing to say)

Comment va ton indépendance ? (Rien à dire)

So for Papa, I got nothin' to say

Donc Papa, je n'ai rien à dire.
