< Piano Man - Billy Joel >
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me
Makin' love to his tonic and gin
He says, "Son, can you play me a melody?
I'm not really sure how it goes but it's sad and it's sweet
And I knew it complete when I wore a younger man's clothes"
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
But there's someplace that he'd rather be
He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me."
As the smile ran away from his face
"Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place"
Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talkin' with Davy who's still in the navy
And probably will be for life
And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinkin' alone
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see
To forget about life for a while
And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say, "Man, what are you doin' here?"
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright
Honesty와 너무 느낌이 달라서 처음엔 Billy Joel의 목소리인 것도, 이렇게나 오래된 노래(1973년 곡)인 것도 짐작을 못했다. 경쾌한 멜로디와 쓸쓸한 가사의 조화가 이상하게 사람을 더 끌어당기는 곡. 광고에선가 배경음악으로 몇 번 나올 때 한 두 소절 흘려 듣던 곡이었는데, Castle을 통해 비로소(이제서야, 이제라도!) 이 노래의 매력을 알게 됐다. 굿.
<La Même Histoire - feist>
Quel est donc
Ce lien entre nous
Cette chose indéfinissable
Où vont ces destins qui se nouent
Pour nous rendre inséparables
On avance
Au fil du temps
Au gré du vent
On vit au jour le jour
Nos envies, nos amours
On s'en va sans savoir
On est toujours
Dans la même histoire
Quel est donc
Ce qui nous sépare
Qui par hasard nous réunit ?
Pourquoi tant d'allers, de départs
Dans cette ronde infinie ?
On avance
Au fil du temps
Au gré du vent ainsi
On vit au jour le jour
Nos envies, nos amours
On s'en va sans savoir
On est toujours
Dans la même histoire
la même histoire
On vit au jour le jour
Nos envies, nos amours
On s'en va sans savoir
On est toujours
Dans la même histoire
la même histoire
불어의 매력에 다시 빠져들도록 한 곡.
겨우 해석본을 가지고 의미를 되새길 수 있을 뿐이지만..
아 진짜로, 파리가고 싶다!
