Текст и перевод песни Hugh Coltman - Hand Me Downs

Hand Me Downs

Une carte postale d′Ecosse
Des chocolats au calvados moitié entamés
Deux sacs de dvd, d'une série de télé toujours emballés
Et trois cravates encrassées
De la société où il bossait, pendant des années
Et là, dessous l′escalier, la photo de deux jeunes mariés, abandonnée
Hand me downs, all the baggage that you drag around
Hand me downsn tied and bound
Mes pieds, sur une piste dansent
J'entends ton rire, ta cadence et ton déhanché
Le regard des aînés, un dialogue entamé, avec le passé
Même le petit verre de rhum, c'est ta manière de siroter
Que j′ai embarqué
Tu vois jusqu′au bout des doigts
Surprise par ton ombre parfois, elle me parle de toil
Hand me downs, all the baggage that you drag around
Hand me downsn tied and bound
Walk with me down the street
You're looking at your grandad′s watch
Though many years ago it stopped
Like the time between us, I'll walk you to the bus
The wind is playing in your hair, and I kiss you goodbye
And I realise, the hand me downs that I own, you′re now one
Hand me downs, all the baggage that you drag around
Hand me downsn tied and bound

Hand Me Downs

A postcard from Scotland
Some half-eaten chocolates with Calvados
Two bags of DVDs, still wrapped from a TV series
And three dry-cleaned ties
From the firm where he laboured, through the years
And underneath the stairs a photograph of teenaged newlyweds, forgotten
Hand me downs, all the baggage that you drag around
Hand me downs tied and bound
My feet, they dance
I hear your laugh, your rhythm and your swing
The look in the eyes of the elder, a dialogue spoken, with the past
Even the neat rum, it′s your way to sip
That I have embarked
You see right to my fingertips
Startled sometimes by your shadow, it talks to me of you
Hand me downs, all the baggage that you drag around
Hand me downs tied and bound
Walk with me down the street
You look at your granddad′s watch
Though many years ago it stopped
Like the time between us, I′ll walk you to the bus
The wind is playing in your hair, and I kiss you goodbye
And I realise, the hand me downs that I own, you′re now one
Hand me downs, all the baggage that you drag around
Hand me downs tied and bound
