"A time to buy"
Auteur : Katie Melua
It's a time to buy, a time for shopping
Going to the store and make a choice
But everything she sees, it's like they're talking
Talking at her with a different voice
Laura's head is buzzing
Can't remember what she came here for
Couldn't keep her promise
Not to gaze at things she can't afford
Cuz there's shoes, bags and silk scarves
And dreams of summer days
And now she's wording a letter to her bosses
For a raise...
But then she passes the baby section
With the tinest shoes on shiny trays
It's a time to buy, a time for shopping
Going to the store and make a choice
But everything she sees, it's like they're talking
Talking at her with a different voice
A singer's voice, and her mother's pleas
And the voice of countless charities
But the one she heeds with certainty says
Have it all, have it all, have it all
Margaret's by the mannequins
Gazing at their suits and her shoulders still no man
And it's another year of winter holidays
But soon she'll have him, and buy him
They'll sit like this and they'll go skiing every year
He's around the corner, the man who'll love her
And understand her and her career
It's a time to buy, a time for shopping
Going to the store and make a choice
But everything she sees, it's like they're talking
Talking at her with a different voice
A singer's voice, and her mother's pleas
And the voice of countless charities
But the one she heeds with certainty says
Have it all, have it all, have it all
It's a time to buy, a time for shopping
Going to the store and make a choice
But everything she sees, it's like they're talking
Talking at her with a different voice
A singer's voice, and her mother's pleas
And the voice of countless charities
But the one she heeds with certainty says
Have it all, have it all, have it all
Going to the store and make a choice
But everything she sees, it's like they're talking
Talking at her with a different voice
Laura's head is buzzing
Can't remember what she came here for

C'est le moment d'acheter, le moment de faire du shopping.
Aller au magasin et faire un choix
Mais tout ce qu'elle voit, c'est comme s'ils parlaient.
Ils lui parlent avec une voix différente.
La tête de Laura bourdonne
Elle ne se rappelle pas pourquoi elle est venue ici
Elle n'a pas pu tenir sa promesse
De ne pas regarder les choses qu'elle ne peut pas s'offrir
Parce qu'il y a des chaussures, des sacs et des foulards en soie
Et des rêves de jours d'été
Et maintenant elle écrit une lettre à ses patrons
Pour une augmentation...
Mais elle passe devant le rayon des bébés
Avec les plus petites chaussures sur des plateaux brillants.
C'est le moment d'acheter, le moment de faire du shopping.
Aller au magasin et faire un choix
Mais tout ce qu'elle voit, c'est comme s'ils parlaient.
Qui lui parlent avec une voix différente
La voix d'un chanteur, et les appels de sa mère.
Et la voix d'innombrables organisations caritatives
Mais celle qu'elle écoute avec certitude dit
Aie tout, aie tout, aie tout !
Margaret est près des mannequins
Regardant leurs costumes et ses épaules, toujours pas d'homme.
Et c'est une autre année de vacances d'hiver
Mais bientôt elle l'aura, et l'achètera.
Elles resteront assises comme ça et iront au ski chaque année.
Il est au coin de la rue, l'homme qui l'aimera.
Et qui la comprendra, elle et sa carrière
C'est le moment d'acheter, le moment de faire du shopping.
Aller au magasin et faire un choix
Mais tout ce qu'elle voit, c'est comme s'ils parlaient.
Qui lui parlent avec une voix différente
La voix d'un chanteur, et les appels de sa mère.
Et la voix d'innombrables organisations caritatives
Mais celle qu'elle écoute avec certitude dit
"Ayez tout, ayez tout, ayez tout".
C'est le moment d'acheter, le moment de faire du shopping.
D'aller au magasin et de faire un choix
Mais tout ce qu'elle voit, c'est comme s'ils parlaient.
Qui lui parlent avec une voix différente
La voix d'un chanteur, et les appels de sa mère.
Et la voix d'innombrables organisations caritatives
Mais celle qu'elle écoute avec certitude dit
Aie tout, aie tout, aie tout !
