Original Lyrics
Translation in French
verse
Vintage tee, brand new phone
Tee-shirt vintage, nouveau téléphone
High heels on cobblestones
Talons hauts sur pavés
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
Quand tu es jeune, ils supposent qu'on ne sais rien
Sequin smile, black lipstick
Sourire moqueur, rouge à lèvres noir
Sensual politics
Politique sensuelle
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
Quand tu es jeune, ils supposent qu'on ne sais rien
chorus
But I knew you
Mais j'te connaissais
Dancin′ in your Levis
Danser dans ton Levi's
Drunk under a streetlight, I
Ivre sous un réverbère, je
I knew you
Je te connaissais
Hand under my sweatshirt
Ton main sous ma chemise
Baby, kiss it better, I
Bébé, embrasse mieux, je
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
Et quand j'ai l'impression d'être un vieux cardigan
Under someone's bed
Sous le lit de quelqu'un
You put me on and said I was your favorite
Tu me mets et dis que je suis ta préférée
verse
A friend to all is a friend to none
Un ami pour tous est un ami pour personne
Chase two girls, lose the one
Chasser deux filles, perdre la seule
When you are young, they assume you know nothin′
Quand tu es jeune, ils supposent que tu ne sais rien
chorus
But I knew you
Mais j'te connaissais
Playing hide-and-seek and
Jouer à cache-cache et
Giving me your weekends, I
Me consacrer tes week-ends, je
I knew you
Je te connaissais
Your heartbeat on the High Line
Ton battement de cœur sur la ligne haute
Once in 20 lifetimes, I
Une fois en 20 vies, je
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
Et quand j'ai l'impression d'être un vieux cardigan
Under someone's bed
Sous le lit de quelqu'un
You put me on and said I was your favorite
Tu me mets et dis que je suis ta préférée
bridge
To kiss in cars and downtown bars
S'embrasser dans les voitures et dans les bars
Was all we needed
C'est tout ce dont nous avions besoin
You drew stars around my scars
Tu dessines des étoiles autour de mes cicatrices
But now I'm bleedin′
Mais maintenant je saigne
chorus
′Cause I knew you
Car je te connaissais
Steppin' on the last train
Monter dans le dernier train
Marked me like a bloodstain, I
Marque moi comme une tache de sang
I knew you
Je te connaissais
Tried to change the ending
J'ai essayé de changer le fin
Peter losing Wendy, I
Peter perd Wendy, je
I knew you
Je te connaissais
Leavin′ like a father
Partir comme un père
Running like water, I
Courant comme l'eau, je
And when you are young, they assume you know nothing
Et quand tu es jeune, ils supposent que tu ne sais rien
bridge
But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss
Mais je te savais que tu t'attarderais comme un tatouage
I knew you′d haunt all of my what-ifs
Je savais que tu hanterais tous mes "et si"
The smell of smoke would hang around this long
Le goût de la fumée restera présent tout ce temps
'Cause I knew everything when I was young
Parce que je savais tout quand j'étais jeune
I knew I′d curse you for the longest time
Je savais que je te maudirais un long moment
Chasin' shadows in the grocery line
Chasser les ombres dans la ligne d'épicerie
I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired
Je savais que tu me manquerais quand le frisson sera fini
And you′d be standin′ in my front porch light
Et tu serais debout dans la lumière de mon porche
And I knew you'd come back to me
Et je savais que tu reviendrais vers moi
You′d come back to me
Tu me reviendrais
And you'd come back to me
Et tu me reviendrais
And you′d come back
Et tu reviendrais
outro
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
Et quand j'ai l'impression d'être un vieux cardigan
Under someone's bed
Sous le lit de quelqu'un
You put me on and said I was your favorite
Tu me mets et dis que je suis ta préférée
