Paroles et traduction Daniel Lavoie - Tension attention ! (Live)

Tension attention ! (Live)

Assis tout seul au fond d'un bar
D'une ville lointaine,
Tu fuis les gens et les regards
Mais un chasseur t'a vu.
Y a un caïd à gueule de star
Qui veut te mettre à l'aise.
Avant qu'il ne soit trop tard,
T'es mieux de filer à l'anglaise.

Le grand patron s'en va parler.
Les petits patrons se taisent.
Il a des plans et des idées,
Des millions sous sa chaise.
Toute sa vie est une affaire
Et tu en fais partie.
Si tu ne veux pas manquer d'air,
Garde un œil sur la sortie.

Tension, attention.
Y a un plus fou
Qui te pique ta folie.
Tension, attention.
Y a un chauffard
Qui sniffe ta ligne de vie.

Un orateur fait son discours.
À ses pieds, la foule se presse.
Il manie bien le calembour
Autant que les promesses.
Comme il veut refaire le monde,
C'est à loi qu'il s'adresse
Mais tandis qu'il se raconte,
L'entends comme un S.O.S.

Tension Attention! (Live)

I'm sitting alone at the end of the bar
In a distant city,
You flee from people and eyes
But a hunter has seen you.
There's a guy with the face of a star
Who wants to put you at ease.
Before it's too late,
You'd better slip away.

The big boss is going to talk.
The small bosses are silent.
He has plans and ideas,
Millions under his chair.
His whole life is a business
And you're a part of it.
If you don't want to run out of air,
Keep an eye on the exit.

Tension, attention.
There's a greater fool
Who steals your madness.
Tension, attention.
There's a speed demon
Who sniffs your lifeline.

A speaker gives his speech.
At his feet, the crowd gathers.
He knows how to play on words
As well as on promises.
He wants to rebuild the world,
It's to you that he speaks
But while he tells his story,
I hear it as an S.O.S.
