Lyrics
You’ve got a fast car
– Ou gen yon machin vit
I wanna ticket to anywhere
– Mwen vle tikè pou nenpòt kote
Maybe we can make a deal
– Petèt nou ka fè yon kontra
Maybe together we can get somewhere
– Petèt ansanm nou ka jwenn yon kote
Any place is better
– Nenpòt kote se pi bon
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose
– Kòmanse nan zewo, pa gen anyen pou pèdi
Maybe we’ll make something
– Petèt nou pral fè yon bagay
Me, myself, I’ve got nothing to prove
– Mwen, tèt mwen, mwen pa gen anyen pou pwouve
You’ve got a fast car
– Ou gen yon machin vit
I’ve got a plan to get us out of here
– Mwen gen yon plan pou m fè nou soti isit la
Been working at the convenience store
– Te travay nan magazen an konvenyans
Managed to save just a little bit of money
– Jere pou konsève pou jis yon ti kras lajan
Won’t have to drive too far
– Pa pral gen pou kondwi twò lwen
Just cross the border and into the city
– Jis travèse fwontyè a ak nan vil la
You and I can both get jobs
– Ou menm ak mwen ka tou de jwenn travay
Finally see what it means to be living
– Finalman wè sa sa vle di pou viv
See my old man’s got a problem
– Wè papa m gen yon pwoblèm
Live with the bottle, that’s the way it is
– Viv ak boutèy la, se konsa li ye
He says his body’s too old for working
– Li di kò li twò gran pou travay
His body’s too young, to look like his
– Kò l ‘twò jèn, yo gade tankou l’
When mama went off and left him
– Lè manman m te ale e li te kite l
She wanted more from life than he could give
– Li te vle plis nan lavi pase li te kapab bay
I said somebody’s got to take care of him
– Mwen te di yon moun gen pou pran swen l
So I quit school and that’s what I did
– Se konsa mwen kite lekòl e se sa mwen te fè
You’ve got a fast car
– Ou gen yon machin vit
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
– Èske li vit ase pou nou ka vole lwen?
We gotta make a decision
– Nou dwe pran yon desizyon
Leave tonight or live and die this way
– Kite aswè a oswa viv ak mouri fason sa a
And remember when we were driving, driving in your car
– Epi sonje lè nou te kondwi, kondwi nan machin ou
Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk
– Vitès tèlman vit li te santi tankou mwen te bwè
City lights lay out before us
– Limyè vil la kouche devan nou
And your arm felt nice wrapped ’round my shoulder
– Ak bra ou te santi bon vlope ‘ round zepòl mwen
And I had a feeling that I belonged
– E mwen te gen yon santiman ke mwen te fè pati
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
– Mwen te gen yon santiman mwen te kapab yon moun, yon moun, yon moun
You’ve got a fast car
– Ou gen yon machin vit
We go cruising entertain ourselves
– Nou ale navige amizan tèt nou
You still ain’t got a job
– Ou toujou pa gen yon travay
Now I work in the market as a checkout girl
– Kounye a mwen travay nan mache a kòm yon ti fi kesye
I know things will get better
– Mwen konnen bagay yo ap vin pi bon
You’ll find work and I’ll get promoted
– Ou pral jwenn travay e mwen pral jwenn pwomosyon
We’ll move out of the shelter
– Nou pral deplase soti nan abri a
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs
– Achte yon kay pi gwo epi viv nan tout savann pou bèt yo
And remember when we were driving, driving in your car
– Epi sonje lè nou te kondwi, kondwi nan machin ou
Speeds so fast it felt like I was drunk
– Vitès tèlman vit li te santi tankou mwen te bwè
City lights lay out before us
– Limyè vil la kouche devan nou
And your arm felt nice wrapped ’round my shoulder
– Ak bra ou te santi bon vlope ‘ round zepòl mwen
And I had a feeling that I belonged
– E mwen te gen yon santiman ke mwen te fè pati
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
– Mwen te gen yon santiman mwen te kapab yon moun, yon moun, yon moun
You’ve got a fast car
– Ou gen yon machin vit
I’ve got a job that pays all our bills
– Mwen gen yon travay ki peye tout bòdwo nou yo
Stay out drinking late at the bar
– Pa bwè byen ta nan ba a
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
– Wè plis nan zanmi ou pase ou fè nan pitit ou yo
I’d always hoped for better
– Mwen te toujou espere pou pi bon
Thought maybe together you and me’d find it
– Te panse petèt ansanm ou menm ak mwen ta jwenn li
I got no plans, I ain’t going nowhere
– Mwen pa gen okenn plan, mwen pa pral okenn kote
So take your fast car and keep on driving
– Se konsa pran machin vit ou epi kontinye kondwi
And remember when we were driving, driving in your car
– Epi sonje lè nou te kondwi, kondwi nan machin ou
Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk
– Vitès tèlman vit li te santi tankou mwen te bwè
City lights lay out before us
– Limyè vil la kouche devan nou
And your arm felt nice wrapped ’round my shoulder
– Ak bra ou te santi bon vlope ‘ round zepòl mwen
And I had a feeling that I belonged
– E mwen te gen yon santiman ke mwen te fè pati
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
– Mwen te gen yon santiman mwen te kapab yon moun, yon moun, yon moun
You’ve got a fast car
– Ou gen yon machin vit
Is it fast enough so you can fly away?
– Èske li vit ase pou ou ka vole lwen?
You gotta make a decision
– Ou dwe pran yon desizyon
Leave tonight or live and die this way
– Kite aswè a oswa viv ak mouri fason sa a
Live and die this way
– Viv epi mouri konsa
Live and die this way
– Viv epi mouri konsa
Live and die this way
– Viv epi mouri konsa
Merci
– Merci
