Lyrics and translation Wilco - Promising

Promising

Ready?
Cross your fingers behind your back
Squeeze mine until they crack
I must have known that you were just promising
Promising, promising
Toothy smile, girly style
In the backyard, all the while
I must have known that you were just promising
Promising, promising
I promise you and you promise me
Not to admit defeat
I promise, you promise me
So comforting, to wear your ring
Over my head, around my finger
I must have known you were just promising
Promising, promising
And I promise you and you promise me
Not to admit defeat
I promise, you promise me
I promise, you promise me

Prometteur

Prête ?
Croise les doigts derrière ton dos
Serre les miens jusqu’à ce qu’ils craquent
J’aurais dû savoir que tu ne faisais que promettre
Promettre, promettre
Sourire charmeur, façon fille
Dans le jardin, tout ce temps
J’aurais dû savoir que tu ne faisais que promettre
Promettre, promettre
Je te promets et tu me promets
De ne pas avouer défaite
Je te promets, tu me promets
Tellement rassurant, de porter ta bague
Sur ma tête, autour de mon doigt
J’aurais dû savoir que tu ne faisais que promettre
Promettre, promettre
Et je te promets et tu me promets
De ne pas avouer défaite
Je te promets, tu me promets
Je te promets, tu me promets
