Paroles de The Couch
Alanis Morissette
You hadnt seen your father in such a long time.
He died in the arms of his lover.
How dare he?
Your mother never left the house.
She never married anyone else,
You took it upon yourself to console her.
You reminded her so much of your father,
So you were banished
And you wonder why youre so hypersensitive.
And why you cant trust anyone but us.
But then how can I begin to forgive her?
So many years under bridges with dirty water.
She was foolish and selfish and cowardly if you ask me.
I dont know where to begin in all my 50 odd years.
I have been silently suffering and adapting, perpetuating, and enduring.
Who are you younger generation to tell me that I have unresolved problems?
Not many examples of fruits of this type of excruciating labor.
How can you just throw words around like grieve and heal and mourn?
I feel fine, we may not have been born as awake as you were.
It was much harder in those days, we had paper routes uphill both ways.
We went from school to a job to wife to instant parenthood.
I walked into his office, I felt so self-conscious on the couch.
He was sitting down across from me, he was writing down his hypothesis.
I dont know.
Ive got a loving supportive wife who doesnt know how involved she should
Get.
You say his interjecting was him just calling me on my shit?
Just the other day, my sweet daughter, I was driving past 203.
I walked up the stairs in my minds eye.
I remember how they would creak loudly.
She was only responsive with a drink,
He was only responsive by photo.
I was only trying to be the best big brother I could.
Ive walked sometimes confused sometimes ready to crack open wide.
Sometimes indignant, sometimes raw.
Can you imagine I pay him 75 dollars an hour sometimes?
It feels like highway robbery.
And sometimes its peanuts.
I wish it could last a couple more hours.
So here we both are battling similar demons (not coincidentally)
You see in getting beyond knowing it slowly intellectually,
Youre not relinquishing your majesty.
You are wise, you are warm, you are courageous, you are big.
And I love you more now than I ever have in my whole life.

Le canapé
He died in the arms of his lover.
Il est mort dans les bras de sa maîtresse, comment a-t-il pu oser
How dare he?
Votre mère n'a jamais quitté la maison
Your mother never left the house.
Elle ne s'est jamais remariée et vous avez pris sur vous-même pour la consoler
She never married anyone else,
Vous lui rappeliez tellement votre père
You took it upon yourself to console her.
Qu'elle vous a chassé et vous vous demandez d'où vient votre hypersensibilité
Et pourquoi vous ne pouvez avoir confiance qu'en nous
You reminded her so much of your father,
Maintenant comment faire pour le lui pardonner tant d'années sous les ponts avec de l'eau sale
So you were banished
Elle était folle égoïste et lâche si vous voulez mon avis
And you wonder why youre so hypersensitive.
Je ne sais pas trop par où commencer ma drôle de vie de 50 ans
And why you cant trust anyone but us.
J'ai souffert en silence et me suis constamment adapté à la situation et j'ai résisté
But then how can I begin to forgive her?
Qui est votre jeune génération pour me dire que j'ai des problèmes insolubles
So many years under bridges with dirty water.
Et je ne crois pas qu'un travail aussi ingrat puisse porter ses fruits
She was foolish and selfish and cowardly if you ask me.
Comment pouvez-vous juste me parler de chagrin de guérison et de deuil
Je suis satisfait de ne pas être venu au monde aussi conscient que vous l'êtes
I dont know where to begin in all my 50 odd years.
C'était plus dur de mon temps les chemins étaient tout tracés
I have been silently suffering and adapting, perpetuating, and enduring.
Nous passions de l'école au travail et du mariage à la paternité
Who are you younger generation to tell me that I have unresolved problems?
Je me suis rendu à son cabinet je me sentais si gêné allongé là sur le divan
Not many examples of fruits of this type of excruciating labor.
Il était assis à mes pieds et écrivait son analyse
Ma femme n'est pas très aimante et dévouée et ne sait pas jusqu'où s'impliquer
How can you just throw words around like grieve and heal and mourn?
Et tu dis qu'avec ses interjections il voulait juste me sortir de ma merde
I feel fine, we may not have been born as awake as you were.
L'autre jour alors que je conduisais ma douce fille à plus de 203 km je me voyais
It was much harder in those days, we had paper routes uphill both ways.
Monter les marches en prenant soin de ne pas les faire craquer bruyamment
We went from school to a job to wife to instant parenthood.
Elle n'était sensible qu'à l'alcool et lui n'était sensible qu'à la photo
Je m'efforçais seulement d'être le meilleur grand frère possible
I walked into his office, I felt so self-conscious on the couch.
J'ai marché tantôt troublé tantôt prêt à me déchirer totalement
He was sitting down across from me, he was writing down his hypothesis.
Tantôt indigné tantôt râleur
I dont know.
Imagine toi, je le paye 75 dollars de l'heure
Ive got a loving supportive wife who doesnt know how involved she should
Quelquefois je trouve que c'est de l'arnaque
Get.
Et quelquefois c'est rien du tout
You say his interjecting was him just calling me on my shit?
Et je souhaite que la séance dure encore 2 heures de plus
Nous combattons tous les deux les mêmes démons (ce n'est pas un hasard)
Just the other day, my sweet daughter, I was driving past 203.
Tu vois et tu vas au delà du savoir, rien que par l'esprit tu n'abandonnes pas ta toute puissance
I walked up the stairs in my minds eye.
Tu es sage tu es chaleureux tu es courageux tu es grand
I remember how they would creak loudly.
Et je t'aime maintenant plus que je n'ai jamais aimé de toute ma vie
She was only responsive with a drink,
He was only responsive by photo.
I was only trying to be the best big brother I could.
Ive walked sometimes confused sometimes ready to crack open wide.
Sometimes indignant, sometimes raw.
Can you imagine I pay him 75 dollars an hour sometimes?
It feels like highway robbery.
And sometimes its peanuts.
I wish it could last a couple more hours.
So here we both are battling similar demons (not coincidentally)
