Bernard Lavilliers - New York Juillet versuri traducere în engleză

I See a World

A day might turn out grey
Even though the sky is blue
At that moment I can see
My life the way it is
 

I see a world that's controlled inside dreams
It's empty wherever I look
I see a world in my own way
And am still surprised by everything I see
 

But what I'm feeling will always remain
I stand above all of Earth without any words as though in a haze
I see a world
 

A day we remember
Could easily become light like a sky
A day we might get to see
To, oh, to maybe get to give
 

I see the world take on a new form
When my dreams now has passed
I see a world that you grant me
Exactly the kind of life I've missed and longed to have
 

A wonder that always brings light of the future
Every day that passes becomes long years
And I see, I see my world
 

I feel abandoned

In this crazy life I’m living,
I can’t find any free time.
There’s no space for love,
But I realize that…
 

I feel abandoned without you,
Uncomfortable around people,
And I don’t know how to talk anymore.
Who knows
What it is,
This thing inside me?
But I feel abandoned.
I feel abandoned without you,
And I never get back on my feet
Until you’re near me.
You have no idea
What I go through
When you’re not here.
But I feel abandoned.
I keep thinking about you nonstop,
And as a result, I can't get anything done.
I realize that it all depends on you.
But I feel abandoned.
I feel abandoned.
 

Who knows

But I feel abandoned.

And as a result, I can't get anything done.
I realize that it all depends on you.
But I feel abandoned.
I feel abandoned.
I feel abandoned.
I feel… abandoned.
 

That’s a Funny Way

[Frankie Jordan]
On one rainy day
I noticed you on Rue d’Auteuil1
[Sylvie Vartan]
Yes
[Frankie Jordan]
With an umbrella
That you jabbed in my eye
[Sylvie Vartan]
Hey now
[Frankie Jordan]
That’s a funny way, yes
That’s a funny way
[Sylvia Vartan]
Hey
[Frankie Jordan]
That’s a funny way
To catch a boy’s eye
 

[Sylvie Vartan]
You know, you know, wait
I told you “I’m afraid of going home tonight
I live in an awfully dark back alley”
That’s a funny way
That’s a funny way
That’s a funny way
To bring you to my house
 

[Frankie Jordan]
Not to mention, look what you did
You put your arm under mine (hey now)
I followed your lead
And we meandered about
Neither you nor I was truly in a hurry to get there
 

[Sylvie Vartan]
But at my doorstep
I curtly told you
“I have to go right now
My mother is waiting for me”
That’s a funny way
Yes, that’s a funny way
Hmm! That’s a mean way
To make a boy suffer
But I smiled as I said it
And it was then you understood
That I was only teasing you
And in the end you’re the one, you’re the one I married
 

[Frankie Jordan]
Since that night, I haven’t left your side
And every day, I’m right beside you
That’s a funny way, yes
Oh! That’s a funny way (hey)
But the best way for me
To say goodbye to my bachelor days2
 

[Sylvie Vartan]
A funny way
 

[Frankie Jordan - spoken]
So now you can say so, because you remember the Rue d’Auteuil, and it was quite a hit I took,
I swear, you took your umbrella and….
 

• 1. a public street in the 16th arrondissement of Paris
• 2. literally ’to bury my life as a boy’

Hello

Hello
I don’t say goodbye, I say hello.
It feels like I’m staying close to you
If I greet you with a hello.
Hello, hello, hello, hello.
Hello
I love you, I just say hello.
I love saying it so much because
It’s a sweet sound, just like a kiss.
Hello, hello.
It’s like setting a date forever, always.
It’s like never really parting ways.
Hello
I don’t say goodbye, I say hello.
I promise I’ll think only of you
If I greet you with a hello.
Hello, hello.
