Tragedy
Norah Jones, Sarah Oda
It's a tragedy
It's a tragedy
It's a tragedy
It's a tragedy
He was only twenty five
Had an open heart and tender mind
He sang through all the hymns he knew
He was searching for a higher sign
When his water was turned to wine
All the darkness became light
Babies and a patient wife
They just wouldn't have to keep him high
So he gave them up just to fill his cup
Every sip would make him feel alive
No bones in his body were dry
It's a tragedy
It's a tragedy
It's a tragedy
It's a tragedy
Now he's finally come around
He's got wrinkles and a crooked frown
He holds back tears thinking of the years
That the bottle had him all tied down
So he'd sit, have another round
Singing hallelujah 'til he drowns
It's a tragedy
It's a tragedy
It's a tragedy
It's a tragedy
It's a tragedy
It's a tragedy
It's a tragedy
It's a tragedy
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
It's a tragedy
C'est une tragédie
It's a tragedy
C'est une tragédie
It's a tragedy
C'est une tragédie
It's a tragedy
C'est une tragédie
He was only twenty five
Il n'avait que vingt-cinq ans
Had an open heart and tender mind
Avec un cœur ouvert et un esprit tendre
He sang through all the hymns he knew
Il chantait tous les hymnes qu'il connaissait
He was searching for a higher sign
Il cherchait un signe supérieur
When his water was turned to wine
Quand son eau a été transformée en vin
All the darkness became light
Toute l'obscurité est devenue lumière
Babies and a patient wife
Des bébés et une femme patiente
They just wouldn't have to keep him high
Ils n'auraient tout simplement pas à le maintenir haut
So he gave them up just to fill his cup
Alors il les a abandonnés juste pour remplir sa coupe
Every sip would make him feel alive
Chaque gorgée le faisait se sentir vivant
No bones in his body were dry
Aucun os dans son corps n'était sec
It's a tragedy
C'est une tragédie
It's a tragedy
C'est une tragédie
It's a tragedy
C'est une tragédie
It's a tragedy
C'est une tragédie
Now he's finally come around
Maintenant, il est enfin revenu
He's got wrinkles and a crooked frown
Il a des rides et une grimace tordue
He holds back tears thinking of the years
Il retient ses larmes en pensant aux années
That the bottle had him all tied down
Que la bouteille l'avait complètement attaché
So he'd sit, have another round
Alors il s'asseyait, prenait un autre tour
Singing hallelujah 'til he drowns
Chantant alléluia jusqu'à ce qu'il se noie
It's a tragedy
C'est une tragédie
It's a tragedy
C'est une tragédie
It's a tragedy
C'est une tragédie
It's a tragedy

He was only twenty five
Ele tinha apenas vinte e cinco anos
Had an open heart and tender mind
Tinha um coração aberto e uma mente sensível
He sang through all the hymns he knew
Ele cantava todos os hinos que conhecia
He was searching for a higher sign
Ele estava procurando por um sinal mais do além
When his water was turned to wine
Quando sua água se transformou em vinho
All the darkness became light
Toda a escuridão se tornou luz
Babies and a patient wife
Bebês e uma esposa paciente
They just wouldn't have to keep him high
Eles simplesmente não tinham que deixá-lo alto
So he gave them up just to fill his cup
Então ele desistiu deles apenas para encher seu copo
Every sip would make him feel alive
Cada gole fazia ele sentir vivo
No bones in his body were dry
Nenhum osso em seu corpo estava seco
It's a tragedy
É uma tragédia
It's a tragedy
É uma tragédia
It's a tragedy
É uma tragédia
It's a tragedy

Now he's finally come around
Agora ele finalmente deu a volta por cima
He's got wrinkles and a crooked frown
Ele tem rugas e a franze a testa de maneira torta
He holds back tears thinking of the years
Ele segura as lágrimas pensando nos anos
That the bottle had him all tied down
Que a garrafa o teve amarrado
So he'd sit, have another round
Então ele se sentava, tomava outra rodada
Singing hallelujah 'til he drowns
Cantando aleluia até ele se afogar
It's a tragedy
É uma tragédia
