Lyrics of On the River - Superbus

On the River (original)

Ah, ça s’passe comme ça la vie alors c’est ça
J’ai pas d’envie j’ai pas d'élan mais j’m’en fous
J’m’en fous, j’m’en fous, j’ai tout
J’ai tout et j'étouffe alors je pars…
Sur un bateau sur la Tamise un whisky-bar
J’ai des amis j’ai des emmerdes mais, j’m’en fous
J’m’en fous, je pars
Ce s’ra la fête ce soir
Don’t be late
We’ll be together
Right on the river
But I’ll be cold
Never say never
Under my sweater
Look at the river
The lights are gold
Don’t be late
We’ll go there together
Right on the river
But I’ll be cold
Never say never
Under my sweater
Make it better
Lights are gold
Le cœur en fête
Je pars, je pars
Et si tu le souhaites
Viens sous mon sweater
Ce soir, ce soir
Ah, ah, ah, tout ça pourquoi tout ça pourquoi pour ça
J’ai pas d’raison j’ai pas d’logique mais, j’m’en fous
J’m’en fous, j’m’en fous, j’ai l’droit
J’ai l’droit et j’aime pas alors je pars
Sur un bateau sur la Tamise un samedi soir
J’veux des horaires, des deadlines pour te voir
J’m’en fous, je pars
J’suis capitaine ce soir
Don’t be late
We’ll be together
Right on the river
But I’ll be cold
Never say never
Under my sweater
Look at the river
The lights are gold
Don’t be late
We’ll go there together
Right on the river
But I’ll be cold
Never say never
Under my sweater
Make it better
Lights are gold
Le cœur en fête
Je pars, je pars
Et si tu le souhaites
Viens sous mon sweater
Ce soir ce soir
Lights are gold…
J’m’en fous, j’m’en fous, j’m’en fous, j’m’en fous, je pars
J’m’en fous, j’m’en fous, j’m’en fous, j’m’en fous, je pars
The lights are gold
Never say never
Under my sweater
Look at the river
The lights are gold
Never say never
Under my sweater
Look at the river
Don’t be late
We’ll go there together
Right on the river
But I’ll be cold
Never say never
Under my sweater
Make it better
Lights are gold
Le coeur en fête
Je pars je pars
Et si tu le souhaites
Viens sous mon sweater
Ce soir ce soir
Lights are gold

(translation)

Ah, that's how life goes so that's it
I have no desire, I have no momentum but I don't care
I don't care, I don't care, I have everything
I have everything and I'm choking so I'm leaving...
On a boat on the Thames a whiskey bar
I have friends, I have problems, but I don't care
I don't care, I'm leaving
It's gonna be a party tonight
Don't be late
We'll be together
Right on the river
But I'll be cold
never say never
Under my sweater
Look at the river
The lights are gold
Don't be late
We'll go there together
Right on the river
But I'll be cold
never say never
Under my sweater
Make it better
lights are gold
The heart celebrates
I'm leaving, I'm leaving
And if you want
Come under my sweater
Tonight, tonight
Ah, ah, ah, all that why all that why for that
I have no reason, I have no logic, but I don't care
I don't care, I don't care, I have the right
I have the right and I don't like it so I'm leaving
On a boat on the Thames on a Saturday night
I want schedules, deadlines to see you
I don't care, I'm leaving
I'm captain tonight
Don't be late
We'll be together
Right on the river
But I'll be cold
never say never
Under my sweater
Look at the river
The lights are gold
Don't be late
We'll go there together
Right on the river
But I'll be cold
never say never
Under my sweater
Make it better
lights are gold
The heart celebrates
I'm leaving, I'm leaving
And if you want
Come under my sweater
Tonight tonight
Lights are gold…
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I'm leaving
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I'm leaving
The lights are gold
never say never
Under my sweater
Look at the river
The lights are gold
never say never
Under my sweater
Look at the river
Don't be late
We'll go there together
Right on the river
But I'll be cold
never say never
Under my sweater
Make it better
lights are gold
The heart celebrates
I'm leaving I'm leaving
And if you want
Come under my sweater
Tonight tonight
lights are gold
