Lyrics and translation Yoko Ono - Turned the Corner

Turned the Corner

I turned a corner,
It didn′t seem that was wrong,
I was just having a laugh.
But suddenly my friends are gone
And i didn't know that life would be so long.
I turned the clock
And went around the block,
Thought i was just having a laugh.
But suddenly my world was gone
And i found myself standing alone.
I thought i was fighting the ebb of life,
I thought i was cutting the web and the strife.
But i look at the mirror where there used to be a smile,
Now i see a stranger.
Ad lib.

J'ai tourné le coin

J'ai tourné un coin,
Il ne semblait pas que c'était mal,
Je riais simplement.
Mais soudain, mes amis sont partis
Et je ne savais pas que la vie serait si longue.
J'ai tourné la montre
Et j'ai fait le tour du pâté de maisons,
Je pensais juste rire.
Mais soudain mon monde a disparu
Et je me suis retrouvée seule.
Je pensais que je combattais le reflux de la vie,
Je pensais que je coupais la toile et la discorde.
Mais je regarde dans le miroir où il y avait un sourire,
Maintenant, je vois un étranger.
Improvisation.
