Lyrics Translation

She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College
That's where I
Caught her eye
She told me that her dad was loaded
I said, "In that case, I'll have a rum and Coca-Cola"
She said, "Fine"
And then in thirty seconds time, she said

I wanna live like common people
I wanna do whatever common people do
Wanna sleep with common people
I wanna sleep with common people
Like you
What else could I do?
I said, "I'll, I'll see what I can do"

I took her to a supermarket
I don't know why
But I had to start it somewhere
So it started there
I said, "Pretend you've got no money"
She just laughed and said
"Ha, you're so funny"
I said, "Yeah? Ha
I can't see anyone else smiling here
Are you sure?"

You wanna live like common people
You wanna see whatever common people see
Wanna sleep with common people
You wanna sleep with common people
Like me
But she didn't understand
She just smiled and held my hand

Rent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some fags and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school
Still you'll never get it right
'Cause when you're laid in bed at night
Watching roaches climb the wall
If you called your dad, he could stop it all, yeah

You'll never live like common people
You'll never do whatever common people do
Never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view
And then dance and drink and screw
Because there's nothing else to do, ow

Woo, woo, ch-ch

Sing along with the common people
Sing along and it might just get you through
Laugh along with the common people
Laugh along even though they're laughing at you
And the stupid things that you do
Because you think that poor is cool, oh

Like a dog lying in a corner
They will bite you and never warn you
Look out, they'll tear your insides out
'Cause everybody hates a tourist
Especially one who thinks it's all such a laugh
Yeah, and the chip stains and grease
Will come out in the bath

You will never understand
How it feels to live your life
With no meaning or control
And with nowhere left to go
You are amazed that they exist
And they burn so bright
Whilst you can only wonder why

Rent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some fags and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school
But still you'll never get it right
'Cause when you're laid in bed at night
Watching roaches climb the wall
If you called your dad, he could stop it all, yeah

Never live like common people
Never do what common people do
Never fail like common people
Never watch your life slide out of view
And then dance and drink and screw
Because there's nothing else to do

Wanna live with common people like you
Wanna live with common people like you
Wanna live with common people like you
Wanna live with common people like you
Wanna live with common people like you
Wanna live with common people like you
Wanna live with common people like you
Oh, la-la-la-la
Oh, la-la-la-la
Oh, la-la-la-la
Oh, la-la, la-la-la-la-la
Oh yeah

She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge
Ela veio da Grécia e tinha uma sede de saber
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College
Ela estudou escultura em Saint Martin's College
That's where I
Foi quando eu
Caught her eye
Encontrei seus olhos
She told me that her dad was loaded
Ela me disse que seu pai era importante
I said, "In that case, I'll have a rum and Coca-Cola"
Eu disse "nesse caso, eu vou tomar Coca-Cola com rum"
She said, "Fine"
Ela disse, "legal"
And then in thirty seconds time, she said
E daí em trinta segundos, ela disse
I wanna live like common people
Quero viver como pessoas comuns
I wanna do whatever common people do
Quero fazer o que pessoas comuns fazem
Wanna sleep with common people
Quero dormir com pessoas comuns
I wanna sleep with common people
Eu quero dormir com pessoas comuns
Like you
Como você
What else could I do?
O que mais eu poderia fazer?
I said, "I'll, I'll see what I can do"
Eu disse "eu vou, eu vou ver o que posso fazer"
I took her to a supermarket
Levei-a para um supermercado
I don't know why
Não sei por que
But I had to start it somewhere
Mas tinha que começar de algum jeito
So it started there
Então, comecei ali
I said, "Pretend you've got no money"
Eu disse "finja que você não tem dinheiro"
She just laughed and said
Ela riu e disse
"Ha, you're so funny"
"Ha, você é muito engraçado"
I said, "Yeah? Ha
Eu disse "sou? Ha
I can't see anyone else smiling here
Eu não consigo ver ninguém mais sorrindo aqui?
Are you sure?"
Você tem certeza?"
You wanna live like common people
Você quer viver como pessoas comuns
You wanna see whatever common people see
Você quer ver o que as pessoas comuns veem
Wanna sleep with common people
Quer dormir com pessoas comuns
You wanna sleep with common people
Você quer dormir com pessoas comuns
Like me
Como eu
But she didn't understand
Mas ela não entendeu
She just smiled and held my hand
Só sorriu e segurou minha mão
Rent a flat above a shop
Alugou um apartamento em cima de uma loja
Cut your hair and get a job
Cortou o cabelo e conseguiu um emprego
Smoke some fags and play some pool
Fumou uns cigarros e jogou sinuca
Pretend you never went to school
Fingiu que nunca foi à escola
Still you'll never get it right
Mas mesmo assim você nunca vai acertar em tudo
'Cause when you're laid in bed at night
Porque quando estiver deitada na cama à noite
Watching roaches climb the wall
Vendo baratas pelas paredes
If you called your dad, he could stop it all, yeah
Se ligar pro seu pai ele pode parar tudo, yeah
You'll never live like common people
Você nunca vai viver como pessoas comuns
You'll never do whatever common people do
Você nunca vai fazer o que pessoas comuns fazem
Never fail like common people
Nunca vai falhar como pessoas comuns
You'll never watch your life slide out of view
Nunca vai ver sua vida escorrer por entre os dedos
And then dance and drink and screw
E então dançar e beber e rodar
Because there's nothing else to do, ow
Porque não há nada mais a fazer, ow
Woo, woo, ch-ch
Woo, woo, ch-ch
Sing along with the common people
Cante com pessoas comuns
Sing along and it might just get you through
Cante e talvez isso toque você
Laugh along with the common people
Dê risada com pessoas comuns
Laugh along even though they're laughing at you
Dê risada mesmo que estejam rindo de você
And the stupid things that you do
E as coisas estúpidas que você faz
Because you think that poor is cool, oh
Porque você acha que ser pobre é legal, oh
Like a dog lying in a corner
Como um cachorro deitado no canto
They will bite you and never warn you
Vão te morder e nunca te avisar
Look out, they'll tear your insides out
Veja, eles vão partir você por dentro
'Cause everybody hates a tourist
Porque todo mundo odeia um turista
Especially one who thinks it's all such a laugh
Especialmente um que acha que dá risada de tudo
Yeah, and the chip stains and grease
Sim, e a batatinha mancha e tem gordura
Will come out in the bath
Vai sair no banho
You will never understand
Você nunca vai entender
How it feels to live your life
Como é viver sua vida
With no meaning or control
Sem sentido e sem controle
And with nowhere left to go
E sem nenhum lugar pra ir
You are amazed that they exist
Você está feliz que eles existem
And they burn so bright
E queimam com tanto brilho
Whilst you can only wonder why
Enquanto você apenas tenta entender
Rent a flat above a shop
Aluga um apartamento em cima de uma loja
Cut your hair and get a job
Corta o cabelo e consegue um emprego
Smoke some fags and play some pool
Fumas uns cigarros e joga sinuca
Pretend you never went to school
Finge que nunca foi à escola
But still you'll never get it right
Mas você nunca vai entender direito
'Cause when you're laid in bed at night
Porque está deitada na cama
Watching roaches climb the wall
Vendo baratas pelas paredes
If you called your dad, he could stop it all, yeah
Se você ligasse pro seu pai ele iria parar com tudo isso, yeah
Never live like common people
Nunca vivei como uma pessoas comum
Never do what common people do
Nunca faz o que pessoas comuns fazem
Never fail like common people
Nunca falhou como pessoas comuns
Never watch your life slide out of view
Nunca viu sua vida escorrer por entre os dedos
And then dance and drink and screw
E então dançar e beber e rodar
Because there's nothing else to do
Porque não há nada mais a fazer
Wanna live with common people like you
Quero viver com pessoas comuns como você
Wanna live with common people like you
Quero viver com pessoas comuns como você
Wanna live with common people like you
Quero viver com pessoas comuns como você
Wanna live with common people like you

Dije, "Finge que no tienes dinero"
She just laughed and said
Ella solo se rió y dijo
"Ha, you're so funny"

Smoke some fags and play some pool
Fumar algunos cigarrillos y jugar al billar
Pretend you never went to school
Fingir que nunca fuiste a la escuela
Still you'll never get it right

'Cause when you're laid in bed at night
Porque cuando estés acostada en la cama por la noche
Watching roaches climb the wall
Viendo las cucarachas trepar por la pared
If you called your dad, he could stop it all, yeah
Si llamaras a tu papá, él podría detenerlo todo, sí
You'll never live like common people

Ríete aunque se estén riendo de ti
And the stupid things that you do
Y de las estupideces que haces
Because you think that poor is cool, oh
Porque piensas que ser pobre es genial, oh
Like a dog lying in a corner
Como un perro acostado en un rincón
They will bite you and never warn you
Te morderán y nunca te advertirán
Look out, they'll tear your insides out
Cuidado, te arrancarán las entrañas
'Cause everybody hates a tourist
Porque todo el mundo odia a los turistas
Especially one who thinks it's all such a laugh
Especialmente a uno que piensa que todo es risas
Yeah, and the chip stains and grease

Will come out in the bath

You will never understand
Tú nunca entenderás
How it feels to live your life
Cómo se siente vivir tu vida
With no meaning or control
Sin significado ni control
And with nowhere left to go
Y sin ningún lugar a donde ir
You are amazed that they exist
Te asombra que existan
And they burn so bright
Y arden tan brillantes
Whilst you can only wonder why
Mientras que solo puedes preguntarte por qué
Rent a flat above a shop
Alquilar un piso encima de una tienda
Cut your hair and get a job
Cortarte el pelo y conseguir un trabajo
Smoke some fags and play some pool

Mais je devais commencer quelque part
So it started there
Alors ça a commencé là-bas
I said, "Pretend you've got no money"
J'ai dit, "fais comme si t'avais pas d'argent"
She just laughed and said

Agis comme si t'étais jamais allée à l'école
Still you'll never get it right
Même comme ça tu le feras jamais bien
'Cause when you're laid in bed at night
Parce que quand tu vas te coucher le soir
Watching roaches climb the wall
En regardant les cafards grimper les murs
If you called your dad, he could stop it all, yeah
Si tu appelles ton père, il pourra tout arrêter, ouais

They will bite you and never warn you
Ils vont te mordre et jamais te prévenir
Look out, they'll tear your insides out
Attention, ils t'arracheront les entrailles
'Cause everybody hates a tourist

Se laveront dans le bain
You will never understand
Tu ne comprendras jamais
How it feels to live your life
Comment ça fait de vivre ta vie
With no meaning or control
Sans signification ni contrôle

Weil du denkst, dass arm sein cool ist, oh
Like a dog lying in a corner
Wie ein Hund, der in einer Ecke liegt
They will bite you and never warn you
Sie werden dich beißen und dich nie warnen
Look out, they'll tear your insides out
Pass auf, sie werden dir die Eingeweide rausreißen
'Cause everybody hates a tourist
Denn jeder hasst einen Touristen
Especially one who thinks it's all such a laugh
Besonders einen, der denkt, es sei alles so lustig
Yeah, and the chip stains and grease
Yeah, und die Chip-Flecken und das Fett
Will come out in the bath
Kommen im Bad zum Vorschein
You will never understand
Du wirst nie verstehen
How it feels to live your life
Wie es sich anfühlt, sein Leben zu leben
With no meaning or control
Ohne Sinn und ohne Kontrolle
And with nowhere left to go
Und man kann nirgendwo mehr hin
You are amazed that they exist
Du bist erstaunt, dass es sie gibt
And they burn so bright
Und sie brennen so hell
Whilst you can only wonder why
Während du dich nur fragen kannst, warum

She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge
Veniva dalla Grecia e aveva sete di conoscenza
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College
Ha studiato scultura al Saint Martin's College
That's where I
È lì che io
Caught her eye
Ho catturato la sua intenzione
She told me that her dad was loaded
Mi ha detto che suo padre era ricco
I said, "In that case, I'll have a rum and Coca-Cola"
Io ho detto: "In questo caso, prenderò un rum e della Coca Cola"
She said, "Fine"
Lei ha detto: "Va bene"
And then in thirty seconds time, she said
E trenta secondi dopo, ha detto
I wanna live like common people
Voglio vivere come la gente comune
I wanna do whatever common people do
Voglio fare ciò che fa la gente comune
Wanna sleep with common people
Voglio dormire con la gente comune
I wanna sleep with common people

Like you
Come te
What else could I do?
Cos'altro potrei fare?

Ho detto: "Vedrò, vedrò cosa posso fare"
I took her to a supermarket
L'ho portata al supermercato
I don't know why
Non so perché
But I had to start it somewhere
Ma dovevo cominciare da qualche parte
So it started there
Quindi ho cominciato da lì
I said, "Pretend you've got no money"
Ho detto: "Fai finta di non avere soldi"
She just laughed and said
Lei ha riso e ha detto
"Ha, you're so funny"
"Oh, sei così simpatico"
I said, "Yeah? Ha

Are you sure?"

Rent a flat above a shop
Affitta un appartamento sopra un negozio
Cut your hair and get a job
Tagliati i capelli e trova un lavoro
Smoke some fags and play some pool
Fuma sigarette e gioca un po' a biliardo
Pretend you never went to school
Fa' finta di non essere mai andata a scuola
Still you'll never get it right
Ma non riuscirai a farlo per bene
'Cause when you're laid in bed at night
Perché quando sei distesa a letto la sera
Watching roaches climb the wall
Mentre guardi gli scarafaggi che si arrampicano sulla parete
If you called your dad, he could stop it all, yeah
Puoi chiamare tuo padre, e lui potrà mettere fine a tutto questo, sì
You'll never live like common people
Non vivrai mai come la gente comune
You'll never do whatever common people do
Non farai mai ciò che fa la gente comune
Never fail like common people
Non fallirai mai come la gente comune
You'll never watch your life slide out of view
Non vedrai mai la tua vita scivolare via dalla tua stessa vista
And then dance and drink and screw
E poi ballare, bere e scopare
Because there's nothing else to do, ow
Perché non c'è nient'altro da fare, ow
Woo, woo, ch-ch
Woo, woo, ch-ch
Sing along with the common people
Canta con la gente comune
Sing along and it might just get you through
Canta e potresti finalmente capirlo
Laugh along with the common people
Ridi insieme alla gente comune
Laugh along even though they're laughing at you
Ridi insieme a loro anche quando stanno ridendo di te
And the stupid things that you do
E delle stupide cose che fai
Because you think that poor is cool, oh
Perché pensi che essere poveri sia figo
Like a dog lying in a corner
Come un cane disteso nell'angolo
They will bite you and never warn you
Ti morderanno senza mai darti preavviso
Look out, they'll tear your insides out
Stai attenta, ti strapperanno ciò che hai dentro
'Cause everybody hates a tourist
Perché tutti odiano i turisti
Especially one who thinks it's all such a laugh
Specialmente quelli che pensano che tutto sia divertente
Yeah, and the chip stains and grease
Sì, e che le macchie di unto e patatine
Will come out in the bath
Vengano via con un bagno
You will never understand
Non capirai mai
How it feels to live your life
Com'è vivere la propria vita
With no meaning or control
Senza significato o controllo
And with nowhere left to go
E senza un posto dove andare
You are amazed that they exist
Sei stupita che esistano
And they burn so bright
E che brucino in modo così luminoso
Whilst you can only wonder why
Mentre non puoi che chiederti il perché
