THE ARRANGEMENT, Ladies Of The Canyon, 1969

You could've been more
Than a name on the door
On the 33rd floor in the air
More than a credit card
Swimming pool in the backyard

Tu aurais pu être tellement plus
Qu’un nom sur une porte
Au 33ème étage, là haut dans les airs
Plus qu’une carte de crédit,
Une piscine dans l’arrière-cour

While you still have the time
You could get away and find
A better life, you know the grind
Is so ungrateful
Racing cars, whisky bars
No one cares who you really are

Quand tu en avais encore le temps
Tu aurais pu t’enfuir et trouver
Une vie meilleure, tu sais bien que la cupidité
Est si peu gratifiante
Courses de voitures, bar à whisky
Tout le monde se fout de qui tu es vraiment

You're the keeper of the cards
Yes, I know it gets hard
Keeping the wheels turning
And the wife, she keeps the keys
She is so pleased to be
A part of the arrangement

Tu es détenteur des cartes.
Oui, je sais, ça devient dur
De continuer à faire tourner la machine
Et la femme, elle garde les clefs,
Et elle est bien contente de prendre part à cet arrangement.

You could've been more
Than a name on the door
On the 33rd floor in the air
More than a consumer
Lying in some room, trying to die
More than a credit card
Swimming pool in the backyard

Tu aurais pu être tellement plus
Q’une nom sur une porte
Au 33ème étage, là-haut dans le airs
Plus qu’un consommateur
Etendu dans une chambre, essayant de mourir/crever
Plus qu’une carte de crédit
Une piscine dans l’arrière-cour

You could've been more
Than a name on the door
You could've been more
Than a name on the door
You could've been more
You could've been more
You could've been more
