Lyrics
Remember when we’d sit around an ol’ fire
– Sonje lè nou ta chita bò yon dife fin vye granmoun
And you’d get your guitar out to sing
– Epi ou ta jwenn gita ou soti nan chante
We’d sing CCR, “Jersey Giant,” “Don’t Look Back in Anger”
– Nou ta chante ccr,” Jersey Giant, “”Pa Gade tounen nan Kòlè”
Or anything by Bruce Springsteen
– Oswa nenpòt bagay Pa Bruce Springsteen
Back when ol’ Anna would throw her ol’ hands up
– Retounen lè Anna fin vye granmoun ta voye men l’ fin vye granmoun moute
With her face framed by the fire
– Ak figi li ankadre pa dife a
And it got so late, we’d take hits from a joint
– Epi li te vin tèlman an reta, nou ta pran frape nan yon jwenti
Mistake shootin’ stars for telephone wires
– Erè tire zetwal pou fil telefòn
And now I’ve grown partial to havin’ a heart full
– Epi kounye a mwen te grandi pasyèl nan gen yon kè plen
Of memories I cannot bear
– Nan memwa mwen pa ka sipòte
The girls in summer clothes and Lord knows the soft scent
– Ti fi yo nan rad ete Ak Seyè konnen sant la mou
Of her long, dark, river-washed hair
– Nan cheve long, nwa, rivyè-lave li
And I think I might pack a bag in the night
– E mwen panse mwen ta ka pake yon sak nan mitan lannwit
Find me some small town out west
– Jwenn m kèk ti vil nan lwès la
Start over, find closure and just say “I’m sorry”
– Kòmanse sou, jwenn fèmen ak jis di ” mwen regrèt”
To that sweet girl who tore off that dress
– Pou ti fi sa a dous ki rache rad sa a
The way the moon’s crestin’ over green pines
– Fason lalin lan ap crestin ‘ sou pyebwa pin vèt
Restin’ next to that coastline I rode
– Repoze bò kote litoral sa a mwen te monte
It made me think of you in the dirt out in Santa Fe
– Li te fè m panse a ou nan pousyè tè a soti nan Santa Fe
And all of the good times I stole
– Ak tout bon moman mwen te vòlè
Remember when Shawn was drunk quotin’ Kerouac
– Sonje lè Shawn te bwè Quotin ‘ Kerouac
Remember when Steve quit the band
– Sonje Lè Steve te kite gwoup la
I don’t know nothin’, but if I knew somethin’
– Mwen pa konnen anyen, men si mwen te konnen yon bagay
I’d know that I’ve helped all I can
– Mwen ta konnen ke mwen te ede tout sa mwen kapab
I think it’s about time that I sever it
– Mwen panse ke li se sou tan ke mwen koupe li
You’ve never looked more needy or desperate
– Ou pa janm te gade plis bezwen oswa dezespere
And I’ve never been more worried about
– E mwen pa janm te plis enkyete sou
The state of the world, angry girl
– Eta mond lan, ti fi fache
The time just stays passin’, I think of my dad
– Tan an jis rete pase, mwen panse a papa m’
When the Army and Navy game’s on
– Lè Lame a ak Marin jwèt la sou
And every night, I wonder if he’s proud of the man
– E chak swa, mwen mande si li fyè de nonm lan
Who threw fists that late night in his lawn
– Ki moun ki te voye pwen sa a byen ta nan mitan lannwit nan gazon l yo
I don’t like bein’ famous, they tame you, then paint you
– Mwen pa renmen yo te pi popilè, yo domine ou, lè sa a, penti ou
As someone that you’ve never been
– Kòm yon moun ke ou pa janm te
And I’m pissed that my mama can’t see me singin’
– E mwen fache paske manman m pa wè m ap chante
For this crowd out in deep Michigan
– Pou foul moun sa a soti Nan Deep Michigan
And I’ll leave you with somethin’, don’t leave with nothin’
– E mwen pral kite ou ak yon bagay, pa kite ak anyen
Be safe on your long drive home
– Fè w an sekirite lè w ap kondwi pou w retounen lakay ou
There ain’t nothin’ in this poor man’s apartment
– Pa gen anyen nan apatman pòv nonm sa a
Apart from bein’ alone
– Apa de ke yo te pou kont li
And I wish you were around this time of year
– E mwen swete ou te alantou tan sa a nan ane a
Every time they drop that ball
– Chak fwa yo lage boul sa a
Drinkin’ parkin’ lot beers while the fire disappears
– Bwè’ parkin ‘ anpil byè pandan ke dife a disparèt
Over Times Square and Webster Hall
– Sou Times Square ak Webster Hall
