Lyrics
Did no one ever teach you how to dance?
– Eske pa gen moun ki janm anseye ou kijan pou danse?
Nobody ever taught you how to dance?
– Pa gen moun ki janm anseye ou kijan pou danse?
Well—well, everyone knows how to dance
– Oke-byen, tout moun konnen ki jan yo danse
There’s only so much time
– Gen sèlman anpil tan
Yeah, somebody died today, I
– Yeah, yon moun te mouri jodi a, mwen
I saw his picture in the funny papers
– Mwen te wè foto l nan papye komik yo
Didn’t think anybody died on a Friday
– Pa t panse nenpòt moun ki te mouri sou yon vandredi
Some angry banker, some kind of money trader
– Gen kèk bankye fache, kèk kalite komèsan lajan
Recently divorced, was drunk drivin’ down the highway
– Dènyèman divòse, te bwè kondwi desann gran wout la
And drove off the bridge to his wedding song
– Epi li te kondwi sou pon an pou chante maryaj li
Blew out the bass in his speakers, you can still hear the treble goin’ (Treble goin’)
– Soufle soti bas la nan oratè l ‘ yo, ou ka toujou tande triple goin ‘(Triple goin’)
The hospital was useless, and everything was quiet but the music
– Lopital la te initil, ak tout bagay te trankil men mizik la
Recently, I only meet peace when in deep sleep
– Dènyèman, mwen sèlman rankontre lapè lè nan gwo twou san fon dòmi
Been the same dream, world safe, smile on her face
– Te menm rèv la, mond san danje, souri sou figi l
Waitin’ on the other side (The other side)
– Ap tann sou lòt bò a (lòt Bò a)
I wonder if He’ll take me to the other side (The other side), yeah
– Mwen mande si li pral pran m ‘ nan lòt bò a (lòt Bò a), yeah
What your eyes see, too naive for war, and that’ll screw ya
– Sa je ou wè, twò naiv pou lagè, e ke pral vis ou
Still bet it all on the glory, hallelujah
– Toujou parye li tout sou tout bèl pouvwa a, aleluya
I heard the answer in the gibberish of an old drunk
– Mwen te tande repons lan nan bavardaj la nan yon bwè fin vye granmoun
All he said was he’s in no rush
– Tout sa li te di se li pa prese
If I could just pay my rent by Tuesday
– Si mwen te kapab jis peye lwaye m ‘ pa madi
I bet I’d be rich by April Fools’ day
– Mwen parye mwen ta rich pa jou fou avril
The moon’s wide awake, with a smile on his face
– Lalin nan byen reveye, ak yon souri sou figi l
As he smuggle constellations in his suitcase
– Pandan l ap fè kontrebann konstelasyon nan valiz li
Don’t you love silence? (Silence)
– Ou pa renmen silans? (Silans)
Everything quiet but the music (Music)
– Tout bagay trankil men mizik la (Mizik)
Everything quiet but the music
– Tout bagay trankil men mizik la
Do you love silence? (Ooh)
– Èske ou renmen silans? (Ooh)
Everything quiet but the music
– Tout bagay trankil men mizik la
(Hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo, hoo)
– (Hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo, hoo)
Somebody gave birth to a baby boy
– Yon moun te fè yon ti gason
I saw his picture in the funny papers
– Mwen te wè foto l nan papye komik yo
Eleven pounds, named after his uncle Gabriel
– Onz liv, rele apre tonton L ‘ Gabriel
His mother cried with her lips against his soft face (Soft face)
– Manman l te kriye ak bouch li sou figi mou li (fas Mou)
Why’d she bring these bright eyes into this dark place?
– Poukisa li te pote je klere sa yo nan kote sa a fè nwa?
Oh, sweet, sweet oblivion
– Oh, dous, dous oblivion
Way before the information gets settled in
– Fason anvan enfòmasyon an vin rezoud nan
I swear to God I never wanna sin again
– Mwen sèmante Nan Bondye mwen pa janm vle peche ankò
But I fear that trouble’s on its way (Yeah)
– Men, mwen pè ke pwoblèm nan se sou wout li (Yeah)
The mind go with age, don’t surrender
– Lide a ale ak laj, pa rann tèt ou
My mistake, I misplaced all of my remembers
– Erè mwen, mwen pèdi tout memwa mwen
Baby, there’s a little vacation in the dresser
– Ti bebe, gen yon ti vakans nan komodite a
Take one for depression, and two for your temper
– Pran youn pou depresyon, ak de pou tanperaman ou
If I could just pay my rent by Tuesday
– Si mwen te kapab jis peye lwaye m ‘ pa madi
I bet I’d be rich by April Fools’ day
– Mwen parye mwen ta rich pa jou fou avril
The moon’s wide awake, with a smile on his face
– Lalin nan byen reveye, ak yon souri sou figi l
As he smuggle constellations in his suitcase
– Pandan l ap fè kontrebann konstelasyon nan valiz li
Don’t you love silence?
– Ou pa renmen silans?
Oh shit, here come the icebreaker
– Oh shit, isit la vini brekè a glas
It’s danger when he’s bringin’ out the lightsaber
– Li se danje lè li ap pote soti nan lam limyè a
The words awesome but he’s talkin’ outta turn often
– Mo yo kokenn men li ap pale outta vire souvan
I blew the fuck up, then became the world’s problem
– Mwen te eksploze fuck moute, lè sa a, te vin pwoblèm nan mond lan
Bad hygiene, all about that gross life
– Move ijyèn, tout bagay sou lavi sa a ki graj
Hate to see somebody fuckin’ up their own life (Their own life)
– Rayi wè yon moun ki fuckin’ moute pwòp lavi yo (pwòp lavi yo)
Just roll the dice, put a twenty on midnight
– Jis woule zo yo, mete yon ven sou minwi
Have a feelin’ we gon’ win tonight (Win tonight)
– Fè yon santiman ‘nou gon’ genyen aswè a (Genyen aswè a)
‘Cause when the snakes start slitherin’, you spot the chameleons
– Paske lè koulèv yo kòmanse glise, ou wè kameleon yo
You realize you surrounded by reptilians (‘Tilians)
– Ou reyalize ou antoure pa reptil (‘Tilians)
Shit, I ain’t an innovator, just a motherfuckin’ illustrator (Illustrator)
– Shit, mwen pa yon innovateur, jis yon motherfuckin ‘ illustrator (Illustrator)
Why does it matter
– Poukisa li enpòtan
At all? Oh, woah, woah
– Nan tout? Oh, woah, woah
