Illusion, Coma, Pimp & CircumstanceShe knew which fork 2 use but she couldn’t danceSo he hipped her 2 the funk in xchange 4 the finance Who’s pimpin’ who if nobody gets a second chance? This is the story of illusion, coma, pimp & circumstance She was older but rich beyond compare She’d drop a thousand dollars at the salon just 2 get her hair did He was good at compliments, better in the bunk She laced him with a crib in Paris, he hipped her 2 the funk Way 2 fine he was 4 her A dirty dog in expensive fur As long as she’s providing chips and whips We can do this funky thang As long as she was playing the host He figured he would make the most of them hips and lips He hooked her up, rocked her coast 2 coast Ugly... So ugly, the bitch, beyond compare She’s dropped a couple hundred thousand dollars on a silver whip Just 2 match the color of her hair She said "Eye got plenty of what U need. Put the spoon down honey, c’mon, let mama feed U" She knew which fork 2 use but she couldn’t dance So he hipped her 2 the funk in xchange 4 the finance Who’s pimpin’ who if nobody gets a second chance? This is the story of illusion, coma, pimp & circumstance Where was eye? Oh yeah... A gentleman he was He never spoke about her nose So prominent because in the dark it’d glow If she was only tan instead of so lily white Her name was Doris but he called her "Flo" As in "rescent" - That ain’t right Fluorescent every night A situation bound 2 fail As sure a Doris’ skin was pale Money might talk, but what does it say? U better get busy if U wanna get paid "Boy, eye was fine back in the day" She knew which fork 2 use but she couldn’t dance So he hipped her 2 the funk in xchange 4 the finance Who’s pimpin’ who if nobody gets a second chance? That’s the story of illusion, coma, pimp & circumstance Now, dance Dance He spent her money oh so well Take a bath in cold Kristal He took a trip 2 burn an old flame in ’Frisco, like wow But Doris caught him in her arms She shrugged her shoulders and said "No harm" Just put Ur name on this pre-nup and we can all hit the disco She knew which fork 2 use but she couldn’t dance So he hipped her 2 the funk in xchange 4 the finance Who’s pimpin’ who if nobody gets a second chance? This is the story of illusion, coma, pimp & circumstance She knew which fork 2 use but she couldn’t dance So he hipped her 2 the funk in xchange 4 the finance Who’s pimpin’ who if nobody gets a second chance? This is the story of illusion, coma, pimp & circumstance Now, dance Dance ©2004 NPG Records |
Illusion, coma, mac et avarice Elle savait quelle fourchette utiliser mais elle ne savait pas danser alors il l'a initiée au funk pour de l'argent qui est le maquereau de qui si personne n'a une deuxième chance? C'est une histoire d'illusion, de coma, de mac et d'avarice Elle était agée, mais richissime Elle peut dépenser 1000 dollars au salon de coiffure juste pour se faire coiffer Il était beau parleur et encore meilleur sous la couette Elle lui a payé un appartement à Paris, il l'a initiée au funk Il était trop bien pour elle Un chien crade dans de la fourrure hors de prix Tant qu'elle fournit l'argent et le couvert Ce truc pas clair peut durer Tant qu'elle joue les hôtesses Il s'était rendu compte qu'il pouvait tout obtenir grâce aux baisers et aux caresses Il l'a aggripée, l'a balladée partout Moche... tellement moche, mais riche au-delà de ce qu'on peut imaginer Elle a dépensé quelques milliers de dollars pour un fouet en argent seulement pour l'assortir à la couleur de ses cheveux Elle a dit "J'ai tout ce dont tu as besoin, pose ta cuillère, chéri, allez, laisse maman te donner a manger" Elle savait quelle fourchette utiliser mais elle ne savait pas danser alors il l'a initiée au funk pour de l'argent qui est le maquereau de qui si personne n'a une deuxième chance? C'est une histoire d'illusion, de coma, de mac et d'avarice Où j'en étais? ah oui... C'était un gentleman Il n'a jamais évoqué son nez tellement voyant qu'il brillait dans le noir Si seulement elle étais bronzée au lieu d'être blanche comme un linge Elle s'appellat Doris mais il l'appelait "Flo" comme dans "Florissant", c'est nul florissant tous les soirs Cette affaire va mal tourner aussi sur que la peau de Doris est blanche Si l'argent parlait, qu'est-ce qu'il dirait? T'as intérêt a bosser si tu veux être payé "Mon garçon, on était mieux a notre époque" Elle savait quelle fourchette utiliser mais elle ne savait pas danser alors il l'a initiée au funk pour de l'argent qui est le maquereau de qui si personne n'a une deuxième chance? C'est une histoire d'illusion, de coma, de mac et d'avarice Maintenant, danse Danse Il a bien dépensé son argent en prenant des bains dans du champagne glacé il est allé à Frisco (Texas) ?/? San Fransisco pour renouer des liens, genre woah Mais Doris l'a surpris dans ses bras Elle a haussé les épaules et a dit "pas grave" Contente toi de signer ce contrat pré-nuptial et on ira tous en boite!" Elle savait quelle fourchette utiliser mais elle ne savait pas danser alors il l'a initiée au funk pour de l'argent qui est le maquereau de qui si personne n'a une deuxième chance? C'est une histoire d'illusion, de coma, de mac et d'avarice Elle savait quelle fourchette utiliser mais elle ne savait pas danser alors il l'a initiée au funk pour de l'argent qui est le maquereau de qui si personne n'a une deuxième chance? C'est une histoire d'illusion, de coma, de mac et d'avarice Maintenant, Danse Danse Traduction Zechandler

Call My NameCall, call my nameCall it, call my name Eye heard Ur voice this morning calling gout my name It had been so long since Eye heard it that it didn’t sound quite the same, no But it let me know that my name had never really been spoken b4 B4 the day Eye carried U through the bridal path door And ever since that day Eye haven’t wanted anyone but U And anybody who really knows me knows the truth Chorus Eye just can’t stop writing songs about U Eye love U so much Eye just can’t wait 2 get my arms around U And feel Ur touch If eye don’t c U real soon baby girl Eye might go insane Eye know it’s only been about 3 hours But Eye love it when U call my name Eye heard a voice on the news saying people want 2 stop the war If they had a love as sweet as U they’d 4get what they were fighting 4 What’s the matter with the world 2day? The land of the free? Somebody lied They can bug my phone and people ‘round my home They’ll only c U and me making love inside Chorus Eye’ve never seen the moon look so lovely as the night Eye saw it with U It let me know Eye’d never seen the moon b4 So many speak of the moon as though it had no flaws But 2 compare it 2 a beauty like Urs would give 1 pause Nothing about U is false, that’s why Ur love is real God 4bid if U belonged 2 another Eye’d have 2 steal U Eye’d have 2 take U from Ur man Eye might b tempted 2 break the law round here Because Ur beauty, it gives 1 pause It slows me down Chorus ©2004 NPG Records |
Dis le, dis mon nom Dis, dis mon nom Dis-le, dis mon nom J'ai entendu ta voix ce matin m'appeler par mon nom Ca faisait tellement longtemps que je ne l'avais pas entendu que ça ne sonnait pas pareil, non Mais ça me fait comprendre que je ne l'avais jamais vraiment entendu avant le jour où je t'ai amenée devant l'autel Et depuis ce jour je n'ai voulu personne d'autre que toi Et quiconque me connait sait la vérité Chorus Je ne peux arrêter d'écrire des chansons sur toi Je t'aime tellement J'ai hâte de te tenir dans mes bras Et sentir ton contact Si je ne te vois pas très vite ma chérie Je vais devenir dingue Je sais que ça ne fait que trois heures mais j'adore quand tu dis mon nom J'ai entendu quelqu'un dire aux infos que les gens veulent que la guerre s'arrête Mais si ils avaient un amour doux comme le tien Ils oublieraient ce pour quoi ils se battaient Qu'arrive-t-il au monde aujourd'hui. La terre de la liberté? on nous a menti Ils peuvent me mettre sur écoute et mettre des gardes autour de ma maison Ils ne verront que toi et moi faire l'amour à l'intérieur Chorus Je n'ai jamais vu la lune aussi belle que lors de cette nuit où je l'ai vue avec toi Ca me fait comprendre je n'avais jamais vu la lune avant Beaucoup parlent de la lune comme si elle était parfaite Mais la comparer avec une beauté comme la tienne ferait réfléchir n'importe qui Rien n'est faux en toi, c'est pour ça que ton amour est vrai Dieu a oublié que tu étais destinée a un autre homme J'aurais du t'enlever T'enlever loin de ton homme Je serais tenté d'enfreindre la loi Car ta beauté paralyse Elle me calme Traduction ZeChandler/NowBx

Cinnamon GirlAs war drums beat in BabylonCinnamon girl starts 2 pray Eye’ve never heard a prayer like this 1 Never b4 that day Tearful words of love 4 people she had never met b4 Asking God 2 grant them mercy in this face of a holy war Cinnamon Girl Cinnamon Girl of mixed heritage Never knew the meaning of color lines 911 turned that all around When she got accused of this crime So began the mass illusion, war on terror alibi What’s the use when the god of confusion keeps on telling the same lie? Cinnamon Girl Don’t cry, don’t shed no tears 1 night won’t make us feel Cause we know how this movie’s ending Cinnamon Girl As war drums beat in Babylon And scorch the blood red sky Militants bomb the foreign gun Both sides truly die Cinnamon girl opens the book she knows will settle all the scores Then she prays after the war that there will not b anymore Cinnamon Girl ©2004 NPG Records |
Fille café au lait Alors que le tambour de la guerre résonne à Babylone La fille café au lait commence à prier Je n'ai jamais entendu une prière comme celle-ci Jamais jusqu'à aujourd'hui Des mots d'amour plein de larmes destiné à des gens qu'elle ne connait pas En suppliant Dieu de leur accorder sa miséricorde dans cette guerre spirituelle Fille café au lait Fille café au lait aux sang mélé N'a jamais connu les frontières des couleurs de peau Le 11 septembre a tout chamboulé Quand elle a été accusée de ce crime Alors débuta la grande illusion, sous couvert d'une guerre de terreur A quoi ça sert quand le dieu de la confusion s'acharne à toujours dire le même mensonge? Fille café au lait Ne pleure pas, ne verse pas de larme Un mensonge ne nous effrayera pas Car nous savons comment ce film se termine Fille café au lait Alors que le tambour de la guerre resonne dans babylone et embrase le ciel rouge comme le sang Des militants bombardent avec des armes venues d'autres pays Les deux camps meurent meurent réellement La Fille café au lait ouvre le livre, qu'elle sait qu'il remettra les choses au point Puis elle prie pour qu'après la guerre, il y en ai plus jamais Fille café au lait Traduction Zechandler

Reflection2 sevens togetherLike time, indefinite Trying to catch the glass Before it falls Without a frown Can you turn up the stereo? I wanna play you this old song about love (is it about love?) Can I do that? Did we remember to water the plants today? I forgot to look up at the moon because I was too busy, said I was too busy I was too busy Looking at you babe Still it's nice to know That, uh when bodies wear out We can get another What does that one thing have to do with the other one? I don't know I was just thinking about my mother You know what Turn the stereo back down Ain't nothing worse than an old worn out love song Tell me do you like my hair this way Remember all the way back in the day When we would compare who's afro was the roundest Mirrored tiles above the bed Fishing nets and posters all over the wall Oh yes, sometimes Sometimes i just wanna go sit out on the stool And uh... play my guitar Just watch all... all the cars go by... ©2004 NPG Records |
Reflet Deux 7 accolés Indéfinis, comme le temps en essayant de profiter de l'instant présent avant qu'il ne file Avec insouciance Peux-tu monter le son de la chaine hi-fi? Je veux te faire écouter cette vieille chanson (elle parle d'amour) Je peux? Est-ce qu'on a oublié d'arroser les plantes aujourd'hui? J'ai oublié de lever les yeux vers la lune car j'étais trop occupé, oui j'étais trop occupé j'étais trop occupé A te regarder C'est toujours bien de savoir que lorsque les corps s'épuisent On peux en trouver un autre Qu'est-ce que cette idée a à voir avec l'autre? je ne sais pas J'étais juste en train de penser à ma Mère Tu sais quoi baisse la chaine hi-fi Il n'y a rien de pire qu'une vieille chanson démodée Dis-moi, est-ce que tu aimes mes cheveux comme ça Souviens-toi au bon vieux temps quand nous comparions nos coupes afros pour savoir qui avait la plus ronde Des mirroirs au-dessus du lit Des "Portes-Jarretelles" ou "Filet de peche" et des posters partout sur les murs Eh ouais parfois, j'aimerais juste m'assoir sous la véranda et hun... jouer de la guitare en regardant... les voitures passer...
