TALKING HEADS – ONCE IN A LIFETIME

Lyrics

And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself, "Well... how did I get here?"
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
And you may ask yourself, "How do I work this?"
And you may ask yourself, "Where is that large automobile?"
And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful house"
And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful wife"
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Water dissolving and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Under the water, carry the water
Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean
Water dissolving and water removing
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
You may ask yourself, "What is that beautiful house?"
You may ask yourself, "Where does that highway go to?"
And you may ask yourself, "Am I right? Am I wrong?"
And you may say to yourself, "My God! What have I done?"
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was and look where my hand was
Time isn't holding up, time isn't after us
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Letting the days go by, same as it ever was
Here a twister comes, here comes the twister
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was (Letting the days go by)
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was (Letting the days go by)
Once in a lifetime, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground

Paroles (Traduction)

Et tu pourrais te retrouver à vivre dans une modeste maison en rangée
Et tu pourrais te retrouver dans un autre coin du monde
Et tu pourrais te retrouver derrière le volant d'une grosse voiture
Et tu pourrais te retrouver dans une belle maison, avec une belle épouse
Et tu pourrais te demander, "Eh bien... comment suis-je arrivé ici?"
Laisser les jours passer, laisser l'eau me retenir
Laisser les jours passer, l'eau coule sous terre
Retourner vers le bleu après que l'argent soit parti
Une fois dans une vie, l'eau coule sous terre
Et tu pourrais te demander, "Comment est-ce que je fais cela?"
Et tu pourrais te demander, "Où est cette grosse voiture?"
Et tu pourrais te dire, "Ce n'est pas ma belle maison"
Et tu pourrais te dire, "Ce n'est pas ma belle épouse"
Laisser les jours passer, laisser l'eau me retenir
Laisser les jours passer, l'eau coule sous terre
Retourner vers le bleu après que l'argent soit parti
Une fois dans une vie, l'eau coule sous terre
Comme toujours, comme toujours
Comme toujours, comme toujours
Comme toujours, comme toujours
Comme toujours, comme toujours
L'eau se dissout et l'eau s'en va
Il y a de l'eau au fond de l'océan
Sous l'eau, transporter l'eau
Enlever l'eau au fond de l'océan
L'eau se dissout et l'eau s'en va
Laisser les jours passer, laisser l'eau me retenir
Laisser les jours passer, l'eau coule sous terre
Retourner vers le bleu, vers l'eau silencieuse
Sous les rochers et les pierres, il y a de l'eau sous terre
Laisser les jours passer, laisser l'eau me retenir
Laisser les jours passer, l'eau coule sous terre
Retourner vers le bleu après que l'argent soit parti
Une fois dans une vie, l'eau coule sous terre
Tu pourrais te demander, "Quelle est cette belle maison?"
