Paroles et traduction de la chanson «Long Division» par Death Cab For Cutie

Long Division (Longue division)

His head was a city
Of paper buildings
And the echoes that remained
Of old friends and lovers
Their features bleeding
Together in his brain

And once it started was harder to
Tell them apart

He was always distracted
By the very mention
Of an open door
'Cause he had sworn not to be what he'd been before

To be a remain remain remain remainder [x2]

The television was snowing softly
As she hunted for her keys
She said she never envisioned him the type of person capable of such deceit

And they carried on like long division
And it was clear with every page
That they were further away from a solution that would play

Without a remain remain remain remainder [x4]

He had sworn not to be what he'd been before

To be the remain remain remain remainder [x6]

His head was a city
Sa tête était une ville
Of paper buildings
D'immeuble en papier
And the echoes that remained
Et Il restait des échos
Of old friends and lovers
Des vieux amis et amoureux
Their features bleeding
Leurs visions saignaient ensemble dans son cerveau
Together in his brain

Et une fois que c'est commencer
And once it started was harder to
C'est diffice de s'en défaire
Tell them apart

Il était constament distrait
He was always distracted
Pour la simple mention
By the very mention
D'une porte ouverte
Of an open door
Parcequ'il avait juré de ne pas être ce qu'il était avant
'Cause he had sworn not to be what he'd been before

D'être un reste, reste, reste, restant
To be a remain remain remain remainder [x2]

La télévision neigeait doucement
The television was snowing softly
Pendant qu'elle cherchait ses clés
As she hunted for her keys
Elle dis qu'elle n'avait jamais envisager
She said she never envisioned him the type of person capable of such deceit
Que cet homme soit le genre de personne

Capable d'une telle tromperie
And they carried on like long division

And it was clear with every page
Et ils se transportent comme de longue division
That they were further away from a solution that would play
Et c'était clair avec chaque pâges

Qu'ils séloignaent d'une solution qui aurait fonctionnée
Without a remain remain remain remainder [x4]

Sans restes, restes, restes, restants
He had sworn not to be what he'd been before

Il avais juré de ne pas être ce qu'il était avant
To be the remain remain remain remainder [x6]

Être un reste, reste, reste, restant
