Lyrics & translation
Verse
The rain hits the glass hard.
La pluie frappe fort les vitres.
The street is a dark blur.
La rue est un flou sombre.
We're stuck in this laundrette.
On est coincés dans cette laverie.
Chorus
Watching our socks go 'round.
Regarder nos chaussettes tourner.
This is our private party.
C'est notre fête privée.
Spinning in the heat.
Tournant dans la chaleur.
Verse
Empty pockets and damp jeans.
Poches vides et jeans humides.
Warm air fills the space.
L'air chaud remplit l'espace.
We talk until the timer dings.
On parle jusqu'au signal sonore.
Time no longer matters.
Le temps n'a plus d'importance.
Chorus
Watching our socks go 'round.
Regarder nos chaussettes tourner.
This is our private party.
C'est notre fête privée.
Spinning in the heat.
Tournant dans la chaleur.
Verse
You lean against the machine.
Tu t'appuies contre la machine.
I laugh at your messy hair.
Je ris de tes cheveux décoiffés.
No need for a ballroom floor.
Pas besoin de piste de danse.
We feel good right here.
On est bien juste ici.
Chorus
This is our private party.
C'est notre fête privée.
Spinning in the heat.
Tournant dans la chaleur.
Verse
The dryer stops its hum.
Le sèche-linge arrête son bourdonnement.
Everything is soft and clean.
Tout est doux et propre.
Fold the shirts together now.
Plions les chemises ensemble maintenant.
The night belongs to us.
La nuit nous appartient.
Chorus
Better than a fancy dinner.
Mieux qu'un dîner chic.
Watching our socks go 'round.
Regarder nos chaussettes tourner.
