Verse
The show is done, I’m back.
Le spectacle est fini, je reviens.
Here is your heavy four-string bass.
Voici ta lourde basse à quatre cordes.
It played a perfect first set.
Elle a fait un premier set parfait.
Hands are sore but heart is full.
Mains douloureuses mais cœur comblé.
Chorus
You say you saw us play.
Tu dis nous avoir vus jouer.
The sound was deep and true.
Le son était profond et vrai.
Now you want to join us.
Maintenant tu veux nous rejoindre.
Pick up your bass and stay.
Prends ta basse et reste.
Verse
I thought I’d walk away alone.
Je pensais repartir toute seule.
But you’re leaning by the door.
Mais tu t'appuies contre la porte.
You know every note I wrote.
Tu connais chaque note que j'ai écrite.
Ready to find a new groove.
Prêt à trouver un nouveau groove.
The amp is still quite warm.
L'ampli est encore bien chaud.
Chorus
You say you saw us play.
Tu dis nous avoir vus jouer.
The sound was deep and true.
Le son était profond et vrai.
Now you want to join us.
Maintenant tu veux nous rejoindre.
Pick up your bass and stay.
Prends ta basse et reste.
Verse
Four strings brought a friend along.
Quatre cordes ont amené un ami.
Plug in and let it roar.
Branche-toi et laisse rugir.
The stage is waiting for us.
La scène nous attend déjà.
Turn the volume to the max.
Pousse le volume au maximum.
Chorus
You say you saw us play.
Tu dis nous avoir vus jouer.
The sound was deep and true.
Le son était profond et vrai.
Now you want to join us.
Maintenant tu veux nous rejoindre.
Pick up your bass and stay.
Prends ta basse et reste.
