Close to the Borderline
Billy Joel
Blackout, heatwave, .44 caliber homicide
The bums drop dead and dogs gone mad
In packs on the West Side
Young girl standing on a ledge looks like another suicide
She wants to hit those bricks
'Cause the news at six gotta stick to a deadline
While the millionaires hide in Beekman Place
The bag ladies throw their bones in my face
I get attacked by a kid with stereo sound
I don't want to hear it but he won't turn it down
Life is tough but it's just enough
To hold back the tears until it's closing time
I survived, I'm still alive
But I'm getting close to the borderline
Close to the borderline
A buck three eighty
Won't buy you much lately on the street these days
And when you can't get gas
You know you can't drive fast anymore on the parkways
Rich man, poor man, either way American
Shoved into the lost and found
The no-nukes yell "we're gonna all go to hell"
With the next big meltdown
I got remote control and a color T.V.
I don't change channels so they must change me
I got real close friends that will get me high
They don't know how to talk and they ain't gonna try
I shouldn't bitch, I shouldn't cry
I'd start a revolution but I don't have time
I don't know why I'm still a nice guy
But I'm getting close to the borderline
Close to the borderline
I thought I'd sacrifice so many things
I thought I'd throw them all away
I didn't think I needed anything
But you can't afford to squander what you're not prepared to pay
I need a doctor for my pressure pills
I need a lawyer for my medical bills
I need a banker to finance my home
But I need security to back my loan
It isn't new what I'm going through
But everybody knows you got to break sometime
Another night I fought the good fight
But I'm getting closer to the borderline
Closer to the borderline
Closer to the borderline
Closer to the borderline
Closer to the borderline
To the borderline
To the borderline
Blackout, heatwave, .44 caliber homicide
Panne d'électricité, vague de chaleur, homicide au calibre .44
The bums drop dead and dogs gone mad
Les clochards tombent morts et les chiens deviennent fous
In packs on the West Side
En meutes sur la côte Ouest
Young girl standing on a ledge looks like another suicide
Jeune fille debout sur une corniche ressemble à un autre suicide
She wants to hit those bricks
Elle veut frapper ces briques
'Cause the news at six gotta stick to a deadline
Parce que les nouvelles à six heures doivent respecter une date limite
While the millionaires hide in Beekman Place
Pendant que les millionnaires se cachent à Beekman Place
The bag ladies throw their bones in my face
Les dames aux sacs me jettent leurs os au visage
I get attacked by a kid with stereo sound
Je suis attaqué par un gamin avec un son stéréo
I don't want to hear it but he won't turn it down
Je ne veux pas l'entendre mais il ne veut pas le baisser
Life is tough but it's just enough
La vie est dure mais c'est juste assez
To hold back the tears until it's closing time
Pour retenir les larmes jusqu'à l'heure de fermeture
I survived, I'm still alive
J'ai survécu, je suis toujours en vie
But I'm getting close to the borderline
Mais je me rapproche de la limite
Close to the borderline
Proche de la limite
A buck three eighty
Un dollar trois quatre-vingts
Won't buy you much lately on the street these days
N'achète pas grand-chose ces derniers temps dans la rue
And when you can't get gas
Et quand tu ne peux pas avoir de l'essence
You know you can't drive fast anymore on the parkways
Tu sais que tu ne peux plus conduire vite sur les parkways
Rich man, poor man, either way American
Riche, pauvre, de toute façon Américain
Shoved into the lost and found
Poussé dans les objets perdus et trouvés
The no-nukes yell "we're gonna all go to hell"
Les anti-nucléaires crient "nous allons tous aller en enfer"
With the next big meltdown
Avec la prochaine grande fusion
I got remote control and a color T.V.
J'ai une télécommande et une télévision couleur
I don't change channels so they must change me
Je ne change pas de chaîne alors ils doivent me changer
I got real close friends that will get me high
J'ai de vrais amis proches qui me feront planer
They don't know how to talk and they ain't gonna try
Ils ne savent pas comment parler et ils ne vont pas essayer
I shouldn't bitch, I shouldn't cry
Je ne devrais pas me plaindre, je ne devrais pas pleurer
I'd start a revolution but I don't have time
Je commencerais une révolution mais je n'ai pas le temps
I don't know why I'm still a nice guy
Je ne sais pas pourquoi je suis toujours un mec sympa
But I'm getting close to the borderline
Mais je me rapproche de la limite
Close to the borderline
Proche de la limite
I thought I'd sacrifice so many things
Je pensais sacrifier tant de choses
I thought I'd throw them all away
Je pensais les jeter toutes
I didn't think I needed anything
Je ne pensais pas avoir besoin de quoi que ce soit
But you can't afford to squander what you're not prepared to pay
Mais on ne peut pas se permettre de gaspiller ce qu'on n'est pas prêt à payer
I need a doctor for my pressure pills
J'ai besoin d'un médecin pour mes pilules contre la pression
I need a lawyer for my medical bills
J'ai besoin d'un avocat pour mes factures médicales
I need a banker to finance my home
J'ai besoin d'un banquier pour financer ma maison
But I need security to back my loan
Mais j'ai besoin de sécurité pour garantir mon prêt
It isn't new what I'm going through
Ce n'est pas nouveau ce que je traverse
But everybody knows you got to break sometime
Mais tout le monde sait qu'il faut craquer parfois
Another night I fought the good fight
Une autre nuit j'ai mené le bon combat
But I'm getting closer to the borderline
Mais je me rapproche de la limite
Closer to the borderline
Plus proche de la limite
Closer to the borderline
Plus proche de la limite

Blackout, heatwave, .44 caliber homicide
Apagão, onda de calor, homicídio de calibre .44

Os mendigos caem mortos e os cães enlouquecem
In packs on the West Side

Young girl standing on a ledge looks like another suicide
Jovem garota parada em uma borda parece outro suicídio
She wants to hit those bricks
Ela quer bater naqueles tijolos
'Cause the news at six gotta stick to a deadline
Porque as notícias às seis têm que cumprir o prazo

The bag ladies throw their bones in my face

I get attacked by a kid with stereo sound
Eu sou atacado por um garoto com som estéreo
I don't want to hear it but he won't turn it down
Eu não quero ouvir, mas ele não abaixa o volume
Life is tough but it's just enough
A vida é dura, mas é o suficiente
To hold back the tears until it's closing time
Para segurar as lágrimas até a hora de fechar
I survived, I'm still alive
Eu sobrevivi, ainda estou vivo

You know you can't drive fast anymore on the parkways
Você sabe que não pode dirigir rápido mais nas rodovias
Rich man, poor man, either way American
Homem rico, homem pobre, de qualquer maneira americano
Shoved into the lost and found
Empurrado para o perdido e encontrado
The no-nukes yell "we're gonna all go to hell"
Os anti-nucleares gritam "vamos todos para o inferno"
With the next big meltdown
Com o próximo grande colapso
I got remote control and a color T.V.
Eu tenho controle remoto e uma TV colorida
I don't change channels so they must change me
Eu não mudo de canal, então eles devem me mudar
I got real close friends that will get me high
Eu tenho amigos muito próximos que vão me deixar alto
They don't know how to talk and they ain't gonna try
Eles não sabem como falar e não vão tentar
I shouldn't bitch, I shouldn't cry
Eu não deveria reclamar, eu não deveria chorar
I'd start a revolution but I don't have time
Eu começaria uma revolução, mas não tenho tempo
I don't know why I'm still a nice guy
Eu não sei por que ainda sou um cara legal
But I'm getting close to the borderline
Mas estou chegando perto da linha de limite
Close to the borderline
Perto da linha de limite
I thought I'd sacrifice so many things
Eu pensei que sacrificaria tantas coisas
I thought I'd throw them all away
Eu pensei que jogaria tudo fora
I didn't think I needed anything
Eu não achava que precisava de nada
But you can't afford to squander what you're not prepared to pay
Mas você não pode desperdiçar o que não está preparado para pagar
I need a doctor for my pressure pills
Eu preciso de um médico para minhas pílulas de pressão
I need a lawyer for my medical bills
Eu preciso de um advogado para minhas contas médicas

Não é novo o que estou passando
But everybody knows you got to break sometime
Mas todo mundo sabe que você tem que quebrar alguma vez
Another night I fought the good fight
Outra noite eu lutei a boa luta
