Lyrics and translation Thom Yorke - The Eraser

The Eraser

Please excuse me but I've got to ask
Are you only being nice
Because you want something
My fairytale arab princess
Be careful how you respond
Cause you might end up in this song
I never gave you an encouragement
And it's doing me in
Doing me in
Doing me in
Doing me in
Doing me in
The more you try to erase me
The more, the more
The more that I appear
Oh, the more, the more
The more you try the eraser
The more, the more
The more that you appear
You know the answer
So why do you ask?
I am only being nice
Because I want someone, something
You're like a kitten with a ball of wool
And it is doing me in
Doing me in
Doing me in
Doing me in
Doing me in
The more you try to erase me
The more, the more
The more that I appear
Oh, the more, the more
The more I try to erase you
The more, the more
The more that you appear
No you're wrong!
You're wrong!
You're wrong!
You're wrong!
You're wrong!
You're wrong!
You're wrong!

La Gomme

Excuse-moi, mais je dois te demander
Est-ce que tu es gentille
Parce que tu veux quelque chose
Ma princesse arabe de conte de fées
Fais attention à ta réponse
Parce que tu pourrais te retrouver dans cette chanson
Je ne t'ai jamais encouragée
Et ça me mine
Ça me mine
Ça me mine
Ça me mine
Ça me mine
Plus tu essaies de m'effacer
Plus, plus
Plus j'apparais
Oh, plus, plus
Plus tu essaies la gomme
Plus, plus
Plus tu apparais
Tu connais la réponse
Alors pourquoi tu demandes ?
Je suis juste gentil
Parce que je veux quelqu'un, quelque chose
Tu es comme un chaton avec une pelote de laine
Et ça me mine
Ça me mine
Ça me mine
Ça me mine
Ça me mine
Plus tu essaies de m'effacer
Plus, plus
Plus j'apparais
Oh, plus, plus
Plus j'essaie de t'effacer
Plus, plus
Plus tu apparais
Non, tu te trompes !
Tu te trompes !
Tu te trompes !
Tu te trompes !
Tu te trompes !
Tu te trompes !
Tu te trompes !
