Johnny Hallyday - Et puis je sais versuri traducere în engleză

Yeah, I know...

Yeah, I know, all these stares following me
Yeah, I know, all these words left unsaid
Yeah, I know, all these things I could have done
though I couldn't keep quiet as I was nearing hell
 
Yeah, I know, these smiles we make up,
the icy hands, the long hours of waiting
Yeah, I know, these mornings tired
by too many wasted words, too many elusive dreams.
 
Yeah, I know, there were bouts of anger,
some screaming, toughtless words.
Yeah, I know, all the things I could have said
tough I would not suffer1 when I felt anger rising
 
I yelled so many times to be better heard
(I was) so often awkward, so often unhappy.
I parked my fears on parking lots of hatred2
I picked up tabs far more expensive than my chains3
but I know no pardon will be granted
to the one who picks the wrong fate on this strange path4
 
Yeah, I know
 
Yeah, I know, this too fragile toy
that is never given but easily lent
Yeah, I know, all these worrying nights,
with fear in your guts as you struggle uphill.
 
Yeah, I know, all these meaningful silences
Yeah, I know, all these things we no longer do.
Though5 I skimmed 6random beds
during a few too dark nights for a few hours of hope
 
I tried to live amidst remorses
I tried to survive while people thought me dead
If I really believed in friendships that were nothing but dust7
and sought a remedy in the bottom of a few glasses
it's because I was afraid people would see me
as I see people. I was so afraid of myself.
 
Yeah, I know.
 

• 1. 'à défaut de...' does not make much sense. I suspect it's just there for the symetry with the 1st stanza
• 2. that's what I call a ponderous metaphor...
• 3. here comes another one...
• 4. my oh my...
• 5. I suppose the end of the sentence is in the next stanza
• 6. 'glisser' might imply something quick or a mishap. It sounds a bit odd too
• 7. lit. 'dust friendships'

This translation does not claim to be of any particular value.
Glad if you liked it, sorry if you didn't.
You can reuse it as you please.
Glad if it's for knowledge or understanding, sorry if it's just for money or fame.
