Lyrics and translation Waylon Jennings - Silent Partners

Silent Partners

He stands in the doorway, his hands upon his hips
She stands by the jukebox, a sweet smile on her lips
He slowly walks up to her, she reaches out for him
It's almost like some magnet is pulling both of them
Then he says, and she says
Silent partners, they don't say a word
She is the adjective and he is the verb
They speak with their bodies and they talk with their eyes
They don't make no promises so they don't tell no lies
Silent partners, silent partners
Later in their love nest at half past ecstasy
They cling to each other and lie there silently
She would like to tell him what she feels in her heart
And he would like to bare his soul but don't know where to start
So he says, and she says
Silent partners, they don't say a word
She is the adjective and he is the verb
They speak with their bodies and they talk with their eyes
They don't make no promises so they don't tell no lies
Silent partners, silent partners, silent partners, silent partners

Partenaires silencieux

Tu te tiens dans l'embrasure de la porte, les mains sur les hanches
Tu es près du juke-box, un doux sourire sur tes lèvres
Je marche lentement vers toi, tu tends la main vers moi
C'est comme si un aimant nous attirait tous les deux
Puis je dis, et tu dis
Partenaires silencieux, nous ne disons pas un mot
Tu es l'adjectif et je suis le verbe
On parle avec nos corps et on se parle avec nos yeux
On ne fait aucune promesse, alors on ne dit pas de mensonges
Partenaires silencieux, partenaires silencieux
Plus tard, dans notre nid d'amour, à 2h30 de l'extase
On s'enlace et on reste allongés en silence
Tu voudrais me dire ce que tu ressens dans ton cœur
Et j'aimerais te dévoiler mon âme, mais je ne sais pas par où commencer
Alors je dis, et tu dis
Partenaires silencieux, nous ne disons pas un mot
Tu es l'adjectif et je suis le verbe
On parle avec nos corps et on se parle avec nos yeux
On ne fait aucune promesse, alors on ne dit pas de mensonges
Partenaires silencieux, partenaires silencieux, partenaires silencieux, partenaires silencieux
