Slip Slidin' Away
Paul Simon
Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' away
I know a man
He came from my hometown
He wore his passion for his woman
Like a thorny crown
He said "Delores, I live in fear
My love for you's overpowering
I'm afraid that I will disappear"
Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' away
I know a woman
Became a wife
These are the very words she uses
To describe her life
She said, "A good day ain't got no rain"
She said, "A bad day's when I lie in bed
And think of the things that might have been"
Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' away.
And I know a father who had a son
He longed to tell him all the reasons
For the things he'd done
He came a long way just to explain
He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping
Then he turned around and headed home again
He's slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' away
God only knows
God makes his plan
The information's unavailable
To the mortal man
We work our jobs
And we collect our pay
Believe we're gliding down the highway
When in fact we're slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away

I know a man
Je connais un homme
He came from my hometown
Il vient de ma ville natale
He wore his passion for his woman
Il portait sa passion pour sa femme
Like a thorny crown
Comme une couronne d'épines
He said "Delores, I live in fear
Il a dit "Delores, je vis dans la peur
My love for you's overpowering
Mon amour pour toi est écrasant
I'm afraid that I will disappear"
J'ai peur de disparaître"

Ce sont les mots exacts qu'elle utilise
To describe her life
Pour décrire sa vie
She said, "A good day ain't got no rain"
Elle a dit, "Un bon jour n'a pas de pluie"
She said, "A bad day's when I lie in bed
Elle a dit, "Un mauvais jour, c'est quand je suis allongée dans mon lit
And think of the things that might have been"
Et que je pense à ce qui aurait pu être"
Slip slidin' away

Plus tu glisses lentement
And I know a father who had a son
Et je connais un père qui avait un fils
He longed to tell him all the reasons
Il avait hâte de lui expliquer toutes les raisons
For the things he'd done
Pour les choses qu'il avait faites
He came a long way just to explain
Il a fait un long chemin juste pour expliquer
He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping
Il a embrassé son garçon alors qu'il dormait
Then he turned around and headed home again
Puis il s'est retourné et est rentré chez lui
He's slip slidin' away
Il glisse lentement
Slip slidin' away
