Lyrics & translation
Verse
La session dure toute la nuit
Session runs through the night
Le dernier train est parti
The last train has gone
Les câbles traînent par terre
Cables trail on the floor
Les lumières du studio restent vives
Studio lights stay bright
Chorus
Ta vieille basse dans tes mains
Your old bass in your hands
On oublie l’heure qu’il est
Forget what time it is
Juste toi et moi, papa
Just me and you, Dad
Verse
Le métronome bat le rappel
Metronome counts the beat
Tu corriges mon accord final
You fix my final chord
Tes doigts marquent le bois
Fingers mark the wood
Un héritage dans chaque note
A legacy in every note
Chorus
Encore quatre mesures, papa
Four more bars, Dad
Ta vieille basse dans tes mains
Your old bass in your hands
On oublie l’heure qu’il est
Forget what time it is
Juste toi et moi, papa
Just me and you, Dad
Verse
Le quai sera vide là-bas
The platform will be empty
Peu importe le chemin du retour
Doesn't matter how I get home
Le son résonne encore ici
The sound still echoes here
Le mixage est enfin comme il faut
The mix is finally right
Chorus
Encore quatre mesures, papa
Four more bars, Dad
Ta vieille basse dans tes mains
Your old bass in your hands
On oublie l’heure qu’il est
Forget what time it is
Juste toi et moi, papa
Just me and you, Dad
Outro
Laisse la musique tourner
Let the music play
Une dernière prise pour nous
One last take for us
