Lyrics and translation The La's - I Can't Sleep (Acoustic Version) [Manchester, Key 103 Jan 1989]
I
was
lookin'
through
my
window
Je
regardais
par
ma
fenêtre
I
was
lookin'
through
my
eyes
Je
regardais
à
travers
mes
yeux
And
there's
a
big
black
car
coming
Et
il
y
a
une
grosse
voiture
noire
qui
arrive
Get
off
the
street
outside
– come
in
Sors
de
la
rue
dehors
- entre
Go
into
a
pipe-dream
no-one
listens
anyway
Va
dans
un
rêve
fou,
personne
n'écoute
de
toute
façon
When
I
say
I'm
so
sad
about,
not
so
glad
about
Quand
je
dis
que
je
suis
tellement
triste
à
propos,
pas
tellement
heureux
à
propos
I'm
so
mad
– I
can't
sleep
tonight
Je
suis
tellement
en
colère
- je
ne
peux
pas
dormir
ce
soir
I
was
going
through
a
nightmare
Je
traversais
un
cauchemar
I
was
layin'
on
the
line
J'étais
allongé
sur
la
ligne
And
there's
a
big
black
train
coming
Et
il
y
a
un
grand
train
noir
qui
arrive
D'you
think
it
would
be
a
shame
running
Tu
penses
que
ce
serait
dommage
de
courir
Go
into
a
bathroom
Va
dans
une
salle
de
bain
No-one
looking
anyway
Personne
ne
regarde
de
toute
façon
When
I
say
I'm
so
sad
about,
not
so
glad
about
Quand
je
dis
que
je
suis
tellement
triste
à
propos,
pas
tellement
heureux
à
propos
I'm
so
mad
– I
can't
sleep
tonight
Je
suis
tellement
en
colère
- je
ne
peux
pas
dormir
ce
soir
I
was
looking
through
my
window
Je
regardais
par
ma
fenêtre
I
was
looking
through
my
eyes
Je
regardais
à
travers
mes
yeux
And
there's
a
big
black
cloud
coming
Et
il
y
a
un
gros
nuage
noir
qui
arrive
Get
off
the
street
outside
– come
in
Sors
de
