Bénabar "Paresseuse" lyrics

Translation to:en

Paresseuse

Certains matins elle revise son emploi du tempsImagine ce qu'elle doit faire et se dita?¦ et puis nonElle paresseAu ralenti elle glisse de la cafetiere a la fenetreElle aimerait entendre un disque mais il faudrait le mettreEt rien ne presseMademoiselle paresse a ParisElle traine, elle peregrineSon altesse caresse aujourd'huiL'idee d'aller a la piscineElle descend dans la rue, il est 16h, elle marche lentementS'assoit sur un banc pour etudier le chemin le plus longLe transport le plus lentLe metro pourquoi pas mais y'a pas de greve en ce momentQuant au bus il est trop tot pour etre bloque dans les bouchonsAlors a quoi bonLe transport qu'elle prefere c'est la balancoireOn bouge d'avant en arriere en prenant du retardElle rallonge par le squareC'est la fermeture quand elle arrive au guichetElle s'en veut de rater de si peu, a quelques minutes presUn peu plus elle rentraitFaut pas compter sur la chance, alors demain elle jureD'evaluer mieux les distances pour etre bien surD'arriver en retardSans rien devoir au hasard.

Lazy girl

. Certain mornings she muses about how to spend her time. (She) imagines what she has to do, says yes and then no. She procrastinates (delays). Slowly she slips from the coffee-table at the window. She would like to hear a record, but it needs putting on (the record player). And nothing is urgent. Misses is lazy in Paris. She drags out, she wanders. Her highness caresses the (present) day. The idea of going to the swimming pool. She goes out in the street, it's 4pm, she walks slowly. Sits down on a bench to find out the longest route. The slowest vehicle. The underground/tube, why not, but there is no strike going on this moment. And as to the bus, he is too early to get blocked in the traffic-jams. So what good is it. The vehicle she prefers is the swing. You move forwards to backwards, while getting late. She makes a detour along the square. It's closing time when she arrives at the box office. She is angry with herself for just not making it, by only a few minutes. If just a little more (i.e. if she was a little later) she could go home. You shouldn't take chances, so tomorrow, she promises. To assess the distances better, so as to be really sure. To arrive too late. Without letting anything over to chance.
