Текст и перевод песни Alain Bashung - Je t'ai manqué

Je t'ai manqué

Je t'ai manqué
Pourquoi tu me visais?

Tous nos échanges
Coulaient de source
Tous nos mélanges
Côtés en Bourse

Tout est brutal
Botté en touche
Tout à l'horizontal
Nos envies, nos amours, nos héros

Je t'ai manqué
Pourquoi tu me visais?

Tout est extrême
Limites et cônes glacés
Tout est idem
Les vitrines, les pôles opposés

Dans les étoiles
Ou sous la douche
Tout à l'horizontal
Nos envies, nos amours, nos héros

Je t'ai manqué
Pourquoi tu me visais?
Et si l'on disait le contraire
Ou si l'on ne disait rien
Si l'on construisait les phrases à l'envers

Ou si l'on soulevait demain
Qui serait l'adversaire?
Entre nous qui serait le plus malin?
Et si l'on disait le contraire
Ou si l'on ne disait plus rien?

Je t'ai manqué
Pourquoi tu me visais?

Tout est brutal
Botté en touche
Tout à l'horizontal
Nos envies, nos amours, nos héros

Si l'on suivait les voies ferroviaires
Qui aurait le pied marin?
Si l'on sifflait les fonds de théière
Ou si l'on ne sifflait plus!
Qui serait l'adversaire?

Entre nous qui serait le plus malin?
Et si l'on disait le contraire
Ou si l'on ne se disait plus rien?
Je t'ai manqué?
Pourquoi tu me visais?
Je t'ai manqué?
Pourquoi tu me visais?

I Missed You

I missed you
Why were you aiming at me?

All our interactions
Were so easy
All our blends
Were traded on the stock market

Everything is brutal
Kicked to the curb
Everything is horizontal
Our desires, our loves, our heroes

I missed you
Why were you aiming at me?

Everything is extreme
Limits and ice cream cones
Everything is the same
The shop windows, the opposite poles

In the stars
Or under the shower
Everything is horizontal
Our desires, our loves, our heroes

I missed you
Why were you aiming at me?
What if we said the opposite
Or if we said nothing at all
If we built our sentences backwards

Or if we raised tomorrow
Who would be the opponent?
Between us, who would be the cleverest?
What if we said the opposite
Or if we said nothing more?

I missed you
Why were you aiming at me?

Everything is brutal
Kicked to the curb
Everything is horizontal
Our desires, our loves, our heroes

If we followed the railroad tracks
Who would have their sea legs?
If we whistled the dregs of the teapot
Or if we whistled no more!
Who would be the opponent?

Between us, who would be the cleverest?
What if we said the opposite
Or if we said nothing more to each other?
I missed you?
Why were you aiming at me?
I missed you?
Why were you aiming at me?
