Congratulations
Benjamin Nicholas Huner Goldwasser, Andrew Wells VanWyngarden
Dead in the water
It's not a paid vacation
The sons and daughters
Of city officials attend demonstrations
It's hardly a sink or swim
When all is well if the ticket sells
Out with a whimper
It's not a blaze of glory
You look down from your temple
As people endeavor to make it a story
And chisel a marble word
But all is lost if it's never heard
But I've got someone to make reports
That tell me how my money's spent
To book my stays and draw my blinds
So I can't tell what's really there
And all I need's a great big congratulations
I'll keep your dreams
You pay attention for me
As strange as it seems
I'd rather dissolve than have you ignore me
The ground may be moving fast
But I tied my boots to a broken mast
The difference is clear
You throw it in your cauldron
Rust and veneer
Dusk and dawn, Steinways and Baldwins
You start with a simple stock
Of all the waste, and salt to taste
But damn my luck, and damn these friends
That keep on combing back their smiles
I save my grace with half-assed guilt
And lay down the quilt upon the lawn
Spread my arms and soak up congratulations
Dead in the water
Mort dans l'eau
It's not a paid vacation
Ce n'est pas des vacances payées
The sons and daughters
Les fils et les filles
Of city officials attend demonstrations
Des fonctionnaires de la ville assistent à des manifestations
It's hardly a sink or swim
C'est à peine un couler ou nager
When all is well if the ticket sells
Quand tout va bien si le billet se vend
Out with a whimper
Sortir avec un gémissement
It's not a blaze of glory
Ce n'est pas une éclat de gloire
You look down from your temple
Tu regardes depuis ton temple
As people endeavor to make it a story
Alors que les gens s'efforcent d'en faire une histoire
And chisel a marble word
Et ciselent un mot de marbre
But all is lost if it's never heard
Mais tout est perdu si on ne l'entend jamais
But I've got someone to make reports
Mais j'ai quelqu'un pour faire des rapports
That tell me how my money's spent
Qui me disent comment mon argent est dépensé
To book my stays and draw my blinds
Pour réserver mes séjours et tirer mes stores
So I can't tell what's really there
Ainsi je ne peux pas dire ce qui est vraiment là
And all I need's a great big congratulations
Et tout ce dont j'ai besoin, c'est d'un grand félicitations
I'll keep your dreams
Je garderai tes rêves
You pay attention for me
Tu fais attention pour moi
As strange as it seems
Aussi étrange que cela puisse paraître
I'd rather dissolve than have you ignore me
Je préférerais me dissoudre plutôt que de t'ignorer
The ground may be moving fast
Le sol peut bouger vite
But I tied my boots to a broken mast
Mais j'ai attaché mes bottes à un mât brisé
The difference is clear
La différence est claire
You throw it in your cauldron
Tu le jettes dans ton chaudron
Rust and veneer
Rouille et vernis
Dusk and dawn, Steinways and Baldwins
Crépuscule et aube, Steinways et Baldwins
You start with a simple stock
Tu commences avec un simple stock
Of all the waste, and salt to taste
De tous les déchets, et du sel à goûter
But damn my luck, and damn these friends
Mais maudite soit ma chance, et maudits soient ces amis
That keep on combing back their smiles
Qui continuent à peigner leurs sourires
I save my grace with half-assed guilt
Je sauve ma grâce avec une culpabilité à moitié cul
And lay down the quilt upon the lawn
Et je pose la couverture sur la pelouse
Spread my arms and soak up congratulations
J'écarte mes bras et absorbe les félicitations

It's not a blaze of glory

You look down from your temple
Você olha para baixo do seu templo
As people endeavor to make it a story
Enquanto as pessoas se esforçam para torná-lo uma história

Mas tudo está perdido se nunca for ouvido
But I've got someone to make reports
Mas eu tenho alguém para fazer relatórios
That tell me how my money's spent
Que me dizem como meu dinheiro é gasto
To book my stays and draw my blinds
Para reservar minhas estadias e fechar minhas persianas
So I can't tell what's really there
Então eu não posso dizer o que realmente está lá
And all I need's a great big congratulations
E tudo que eu preciso é de um grande parabéns
I'll keep your dreams
Eu guardarei seus sonhos
You pay attention for me
Você presta atenção por mim
As strange as it seems
Por mais estranho que pareça
I'd rather dissolve than have you ignore me
Eu prefiro me dissolver do que ter você me ignorando
The ground may be moving fast

Mas eu amarrei minhas botas a um mastro quebrado
The difference is clear
A diferença é clara

But damn my luck, and damn these friends
Mas maldita seja minha sorte, e malditos sejam esses amigos
That keep on combing back their smiles
Que continuam penteando seus sorrisos
I save my grace with half-assed guilt
Eu guardo minha graça com culpa pela metade

E estendo a colcha sobre o gramado
Spread my arms and soak up congratulations
Abro meus braços e absorvo os parabéns
