Lyrics and translation The Shadowboxers - On the Move
Johnny
was
a
slow
mover
Johnny
était
un
lent
marcheur
Took
him
time
to
come
around
Il
lui
a
fallu
du
temps
pour
se
décider
But
when
he
did
he
was
hot
on
the
trail
Mais
quand
il
l'a
fait,
il
était
sur
la
piste
Of
the
thing
that
moved
him
so
De
la
chose
qui
l'a
tant
ému
He
made
all
his
money
Il
a
fait
tout
son
argent
In
Nashville,
Tennessee
À
Nashville,
Tennessee
Where
he'd
hang
his
hat
till
the
day
he
died
Où
il
accrocherait
son
chapeau
jusqu'à
sa
mort
Cause
he
loves
the
life
he
leads
Parce
qu'il
aime
la
vie
qu'il
mène
He's
on
the
move
Il
est
en
mouvement
Lie-da-die...
Lie-da-die...
He's
on
the
move
Il
est
en
mouvement
Lie-da-die...
Lie-da-die...
And
he
kept
close
his
information
Et
il
gardait
ses
informations
près
de
lui
And
he
seldom
paid
it
company
Et
il
les
accompagnait
rarement
Though
his
nine
to
five
only
magnified
Bien
que
son
travail
de
neuf
à
cinq
n'ait
fait
qu'amplifier
All
his
careful
tendencies
Toutes
ses
tendances
prudentes
And
it's
true
he
knew
a
lot
of
women
Et
c'est
vrai
qu'il
connaissait
beaucoup
de
femmes
And
he
called
them
up
from
time
to
time
Et
il
les
appelait
de
temps
en
temps
But
the
picture
frame
at
the
foot
of
his
bed
Mais
le
cadre
photo
au
pied
de
son
lit
Never
saw
his
guard
unwind
N'a
jamais
vu
sa
garde
se
relâcher
He's
on
the
move
Il
est
en
mouvement
Lie-da-die...
Lie-da-die...
He's
on
the
move
Il
est
en
mouvement
Lie-da-die...
Lie-da-die...
Now
one
day
he
met
a
lady
Un
jour,
il
a
rencontré
une
dame
On
West
End
Avenue
Sur
West
End
Avenue
She
asked
his
name
with
a
smile
and
a
gaze
Elle
lui
a
demandé
son
nom
avec
un
sourire
et
un
regard
That
broke
him
into
two
Qui
l'a
brisé
en
deux
She
asked
him
if
he
was
hungry
Elle
lui
a
demandé
s'il
avait
faim
And
he
tried
to
keep
his
cool
Et
il
a
essayé
de
garder
son
calme
Though
he
took
his
time
with
his
food
and
wine
Bien
qu'il
ait
pris
son
temps
avec
sa
nourriture
et
son
vin
He
was
feeling
something
new
Il
ressentait
quelque
chose
de
nouveau
He's
on
the
move
Il
est
en
mouvement
Lie-da-die...
Lie-da-die...
He's
on
the
move
Il
est
en
mouvement
Lie-da-die...
Lie-da-die...
They
made
love
till
the
morning
Ils
ont
fait
l'amour
jusqu'au
matin
When
she
said
she
had
to
leave
Quand
elle
a
dit
qu'elle
devait
partir
She
hopped
on
a
plane
to
Santa
Fe
Elle
a
pris
l'avion
pour
Santa
Fe
And
he
questioned
his
philosophy
Et
il
a
remis
en
question
sa
philosophie
Now
Johnny
was
a
slow
mover
Maintenant,
Johnny
était
un
lent
marcheur
But
when
he
did
come
around
Mais
quand
il
s'est
décidé
He
left
behind
his
careful
mind
Il
a
laissé
derrière
lui
son
esprit
prudent
For
the
girl
who
moved
him
so
Pour
la
fille
qui
l'a
tant
ému
He's
on
the
move
Il
est
en
mouvement
Lie-da-die...
Lie-da-die...
He's
on
the
move
Il
est
en
mouvement
Lie-da-die...
Lie-da-die...
He's
on
the
move
Il
est
en
mouvement
Lie-da-die...
Lie-da-die...
But
she
left
too
soon
Mais
tu
es
partie
trop
tôt
Lie-da-die...
Lie-da-die...
Lie-da-die...
Lie-da-die...
Lie-da-die...
Lie-da-die...
Whoa,
oh
lie-da-die...
Whoa,
oh
lie-da-die...
Whoa,
whoa,
whoa
Whoa,
oh
lie-da-die...
Whoa,
whoa,
whoa
Whoa,
oh
lie-da-die...
Whoa,
whoa,
whoa
Whoa,
whoa,
whoa
