Fast Car [Live]
Tracy L. Chapman
(If you know it, I'd love to hear you sing along)
(This is one of my favorite songs of all time)
(It's called Fast Car)
You got a fast car
And I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Startin' from zero, got nothin' to lose
Maybe we'll make something
Me, myself, I got nothin' to prove
You got a fast car
And I got a plan to get us out of here
Been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
Won't have to drive too far
Just across the border and into the city
And you and I can both get jobs
Finally see what it means to be living
See, my old man's got a problem
He live with the bottle, that's the way it is
He said his body's too old for workin'
His body's too young to look like his
So mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said, somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit school and that's what I did
You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
Still gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
And I-I, had a feeling that I belonged
I-i had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
We go cruisin' to entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
So I work in the market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
And we'll move out of the shelter
Buy a bigger house, live in the suburbs
So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
And I-I, had a feeling that I belonged
I-i had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
And I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me'd find it
I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere
Take your fast car and keep on driving
So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
And I-I, had a feeling that I belonged
I-i had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
Still gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
(Thank you)
(If you know it, I'd love to hear you sing along)
(Se la conosci, mi piacerebbe sentirti cantare insieme)
(This is one of my favorite songs of all time)
(Questa è una delle mie canzoni preferite di tutti i tempi)
(It's called Fast Car)
(Si chiama Fast Car)
You got a fast car
Hai una macchina veloce
And I want a ticket to anywhere
E io voglio un biglietto per qualsiasi posto
Maybe we make a deal
Forse possiamo fare un accordo
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Forse insieme possiamo arrivare da qualche parte
Any place is better
Qualsiasi posto è meglio
Startin' from zero, got nothin' to lose
Partendo da zero, non ho nulla da perdere
Maybe we'll make something
Forse faremo qualcosa
Me, myself, I got nothin' to prove
Io, io stesso, non ho nulla da dimostrare
You got a fast car
Hai una macchina veloce
And I got a plan to get us out of here
E ho un piano per farci uscire da qui
Been working at the convenience store
Ho lavorato in un negozio di convenienza
Managed to save just a little bit of money
Sono riuscito a risparmiare solo un po' di soldi
Won't have to drive too far
Non dovrò guidare troppo lontano
Just across the border and into the city
Solo oltre il confine e dentro la città
And you and I can both get jobs
E tu ed io possiamo entrambi trovare un lavoro
Finally see what it means to be living
Finalmente capire cosa significa vivere
See, my old man's got a problem
Vedi, mio vecchio ha un problema
He live with the bottle, that's the way it is
Vive con la bottiglia, è così che va
He said his body's too old for workin'
Ha detto che il suo corpo è troppo vecchio per lavorare
His body's too young to look like his
Il suo corpo è troppo giovane per sembrare il suo
So mama went off and left him
Così mamma se n'è andata e l'ha lasciato
She wanted more from life than he could give
Voleva di più dalla vita di quanto lui potesse dare
I said, somebody's got to take care of him
Ho detto, qualcuno deve prendersi cura di lui
So I quit school and that's what I did
Così ho lasciato la scuola e questo è quello che ho fatto
You got a fast car
Hai una macchina veloce
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
È abbastanza veloce da poter volare via?
Still gotta make a decision
Devo ancora prendere una decisione
Leave tonight or live and die this way
Partire stasera o vivere e morire in questo modo
So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
Quindi mi ricordo quando stavamo guidando, guidando nella tua macchina
Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
La velocità era così alta, mi sentivo come se fossi ubriaco
City lights lay out before us
Le luci della città si stendevano davanti a noi
And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
E il tuo braccio era bello avvolto attorno alla mia spalla
And I-I, had a feeling that I belonged
E io-io, avevo la sensazione di appartenere
I-i had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
Io-io avevo la sensazione di poter essere qualcuno, essere qualcuno, essere qualcuno
You got a fast car
Hai una macchina veloce
We go cruisin' to entertain ourselves
Andiamo in giro per divertirci
You still ain't got a job
Non hai ancora un lavoro
So I work in the market as a checkout girl
Quindi lavoro al mercato come cassiera
I know things will get better
So che le cose miglioreranno
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
Troverai lavoro e io sarò promossa
And we'll move out of the shelter
E ci trasferiremo dal rifugio
Buy a bigger house, live in the suburbs
Compreremo una casa più grande, vivremo in periferia
So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
Quindi mi ricordo quando stavamo guidando, guidando nella tua macchina
Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
La velocità era così alta, mi sentivo come se fossi ubriaco
City lights lay out before us
Le luci della città si stendevano davanti a noi
And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
E il tuo braccio era bello avvolto attorno alla mia spalla
And I-I, had a feeling that I belonged
E io-io, avevo la sensazione di appartenere
I-i had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
Io-io avevo la sensazione di poter essere qualcuno, essere qualcuno, essere qualcuno
You got a fast car
Hai una macchina veloce
And I got a job that pays all our bills
E ho un lavoro che paga tutte le nostre bollette
You stay out drinking late at the bar
Stai fuori a bere fino a tardi al bar
See more of your friends than you do your kids
Vedi più i tuoi amici che i tuoi figli
I'd always hoped for better
Ho sempre sperato in qualcosa di meglio
Thought maybe together you and me'd find it
Pensavo che forse insieme tu ed io l'avremmo trovato
I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere
Non ho piani, non vado da nessuna parte
Take your fast car and keep on driving
Prendi la tua macchina veloce e continua a guidare
So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
Quindi mi ricordo quando stavamo guidando, guidando nella tua macchina
Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
La velocità era così alta, mi sentivo come se fossi ubriaco
City lights lay out before us

You got a fast car
Você tem um carro rápido
And I want a ticket to anywhere
E eu quero uma passagem para qualquer lugar
Maybe we make a deal
Talvez façamos um acordo
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Talvez juntos possamos chegar a algum lugar
Any place is better
Qualquer lugar é melhor
Startin' from zero, got nothin' to lose
Começando do zero, não tenho nada a perder

Me, myself, I got nothin' to prove
Eu, eu mesmo, não tenho nada a provar
You got a fast car

And I got a plan to get us out of here
E eu tenho um plano para nos tirar daqui
Been working at the convenience store
Estive trabalhando na loja de conveniência
Managed to save just a little bit of money
Consegui economizar um pouco de dinheiro
Won't have to drive too far
Não teremos que dirigir muito longe
Just across the border and into the city
Apenas atravessar a fronteira e entrar na cidade
And you and I can both get jobs
E você e eu podemos conseguir empregos
Finally see what it means to be living
Finalmente ver o que significa viver
See, my old man's got a problem
Veja, meu velho tem um problema
He live with the bottle, that's the way it is
Ele vive com a garrafa, é assim que é
He said his body's too old for workin'
Ele disse que seu corpo está velho demais para trabalhar
His body's too young to look like his
Seu corpo é jovem demais para parecer o dele
So mama went off and left him
Então a mamãe foi embora e o deixou
She wanted more from life than he could give
Ela queria mais da vida do que ele podia dar
I said, somebody's got to take care of him
Eu disse, alguém tem que cuidar dele
So I quit school and that's what I did
Então eu larguei a escola e foi o que eu fiz
You got a fast car
Você tem um carro rápido
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
É rápido o suficiente para podermos voar para longe?
Still gotta make a decision
Ainda temos que tomar uma decisão
Leave tonight or live and die this way
Sair esta noite ou viver e morrer assim
So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
Então eu me lembro quando estávamos dirigindo, dirigindo no seu carro
Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
Velocidade tão rápida, eu me sentia bêbado
City lights lay out before us
As luzes da cidade se espalhavam diante de nós
And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
E seu braço parecia bom envolto em meu ombro
And I-I, had a feeling that I belonged
E eu-eu, tinha a sensação de que pertencia
I-i had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
Eu-eu tinha a sensação de que poderia ser alguém, ser alguém, ser alguém
You got a fast car
Você tem um carro rápido
We go cruisin' to entertain ourselves
Nós vamos passear para nos divertir
You still ain't got a job

I know things will get better
Eu sei que as coisas vão melhorar
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
Você vai encontrar trabalho e eu vou ser promovida
And we'll move out of the shelter
E vamos sair do abrigo
Buy a bigger house, live in the suburbs
Comprar uma casa maior, morar nos subúrbios

(It's called Fast Car)
(Es heißt Fast Car)
You got a fast car
Du hast ein schnelles Auto
And I want a ticket to anywhere
Und ich will eine Fahrkarte nach irgendwo
Maybe we make a deal
Vielleicht machen wir einen Deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Vielleicht können wir zusammen irgendwo hinkommen
Any place is better
Jeder Ort ist besser
Startin' from zero, got nothin' to lose
Von Null anfangen, habe nichts zu verlieren
Maybe we'll make something
Vielleicht machen wir etwas
Me, myself, I got nothin' to prove
Ich selbst, ich habe nichts zu beweisen
You got a fast car
Du hast ein schnelles Auto
And I got a plan to get us out of here
Und ich habe einen Plan, um uns hier raus zu bekommen
Been working at the convenience store
Habe in einem Convenience-Store gearbeitet
Managed to save just a little bit of money
Habe es geschafft, ein bisschen Geld zu sparen
Won't have to drive too far
Müssen nicht weit fahren
Just across the border and into the city
Nur über die Grenze und in die Stadt
And you and I can both get jobs
Und du und ich können beide Jobs bekommen
Finally see what it means to be living
Endlich sehen, was es bedeutet zu leben
See, my old man's got a problem
Siehst du, mein alter Mann hat ein Problem
He live with the bottle, that's the way it is
Er lebt mit der Flasche, so ist es eben
He said his body's too old for workin'
Er sagt, sein Körper ist zu alt zum Arbeiten
His body's too young to look like his
Sein Körper ist zu jung, um so auszusehen wie seiner
So mama went off and left him
Also ist Mama weggegangen und hat ihn verlassen
She wanted more from life than he could give
Sie wollte mehr vom Leben, als er geben konnte
I said, somebody's got to take care of him
Ich sagte, jemand muss sich um ihn kümmern
So I quit school and that's what I did
Also habe ich die Schule abgebrochen und das ist, was ich getan habe
You got a fast car
Du hast ein schnelles Auto
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
Ist es schnell genug, damit wir wegfliegen können?
Still gotta make a decision
Müssen immer noch eine Entscheidung treffen
Leave tonight or live and die this way
Heute Nacht gehen oder so leben und sterben
So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
Also erinnere ich mich, als wir fuhren, fuhren in deinem Auto
Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
Geschwindigkeit so schnell, ich fühlte mich, als wäre ich betrunken
City lights lay out before us
Stadtlampen breiteten sich vor uns aus
And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
Und dein Arm fühlte sich gut an, um meine Schulter gewickelt
And I-I, had a feeling that I belonged
Und ich-ich, hatte das Gefühl, dass ich dazugehörte
I-i had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
Ich hatte das Gefühl, ich könnte jemand sein, jemand sein, jemand sein
You got a fast car
Du hast ein schnelles Auto
We go cruisin' to entertain ourselves
Wir fahren herum, um uns zu unterhalten
You still ain't got a job
Du hast immer noch keinen Job
So I work in the market as a checkout girl
Also arbeite ich im Supermarkt als Kassiererin
I know things will get better
Ich weiß, dass es besser wird
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
Du wirst Arbeit finden und ich werde befördert
And we'll move out of the shelter
Und wir werden aus dem Obdachlosenheim ausziehen
Buy a bigger house, live in the suburbs
Kaufen ein größeres Haus, leben in den Vororten
So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
Also erinnere ich mich, als wir fuhren, fuhren in deinem Auto
Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
Geschwindigkeit so schnell, ich fühlte mich, als wäre ich betrunken
City lights lay out before us
Stadtlampen breiteten sich vor uns aus
And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
Und dein Arm fühlte sich gut an, um meine Schulter gewickelt
And I-I, had a feeling that I belonged
Und ich-ich, hatte das Gefühl, dass ich dazugehörte
I-i had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
Ich hatte das Gefühl, ich könnte jemand sein, jemand sein, jemand sein
You got a fast car
Du hast ein schnelles Auto
And I got a job that pays all our bills
Und ich habe einen Job, der alle unsere Rechnungen bezahlt
You stay out drinking late at the bar
Du bleibst spät in der Bar und trinkst
See more of your friends than you do your kids
Siehst mehr von deinen Freunden als von deinen Kindern
I'd always hoped for better
Ich hatte immer auf Besseres gehofft
Thought maybe together you and me'd find it
Dachte vielleicht, zusammen könnten du und ich es finden
I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere
Ich habe keine Pläne, ich gehe nirgendwo hin
Take your fast car and keep on driving
Nimm dein schnelles Auto und fahre weiter
So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
Also erinnere ich mich, als wir fuhren, fuhren in deinem Auto
Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
Geschwindigkeit so schnell, ich fühlte mich, als wäre ich betrunken
City lights lay out before us
Stadtlampen breiteten sich vor uns aus
And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
Und dein Arm fühlte sich gut an, um meine Schulter gewickelt
And I-I, had a feeling that I belonged
Und ich-ich, hatte das Gefühl, dass ich dazugehörte
I-i had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
Ich hatte das Gefühl, ich könnte jemand sein, jemand sein, jemand sein
You got a fast car
Du hast ein schnelles Auto
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
Ist es schnell genug, damit wir wegfliegen können?
Still gotta make a decision
Müssen immer noch eine Entscheidung treffen
Leave tonight or live and die this way
Heute Nacht gehen oder so leben und sterben
(Thank you)
