Ironic [Acoustic Album Version]
Glen Ballard, Alanis Nadine Morissette
Yeah-da-dye
Yeah-da-dye-aye-ow
An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
And isn't it ironic, don't you think?
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought? It figures
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down, he thought
"Well, isn't this nice"
And isn't it ironic, don't you think?
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought? It figures
Well, life has a funny way
Of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay
And everything's going right
Yeah, well, life has a funny way
Of helping you out
When you think everything's gone wrong
And everything blows up in your face
A traffic jam when you're already late
A "no smoking" sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And meeting his beautiful husband
And isn't it ironic, don't you think?
A little too ironic, and yeah, I really do think
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought? It figures
Yeah-da-dye
Yeah-da-dye-aye, ooh-oh-ow
Yeah-da-dye
Yeah-da-dye-aye, ah-aye-aye
Yeah-da-dye
Ja-da-dye
Yeah-da-dye-aye-ow
Ja-da-dye-aye-ow
An old man turned ninety-eight
Ein alter Mann wurde achtundneunzig
He won the lottery and died the next day
Er gewann die Lotterie und starb am nächsten Tag
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
Es ist eine schwarze Fliege in deinem Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
Es ist eine Todeszellenbegnadigung zwei Minuten zu spät
And isn't it ironic, don't you think?
Und ist das nicht ironisch, findest du nicht?
It's like rain on your wedding day
Es ist wie Regen an deinem Hochzeitstag
It's a free ride when you've already paid
Es ist eine kostenlose Fahrt, wenn du schon bezahlt hast
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Es ist der gute Rat, den du einfach nicht angenommen hast
And who would've thought? It figures
Und wer hätte das gedacht? Es passt einfach
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
Herr Spiel-es-sicher hatte Angst zu fliegen
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
Er packte seinen Koffer und verabschiedete sich von seinen Kindern
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
Er wartete sein ganzes verdammtes Leben darauf, diesen Flug zu nehmen
And as the plane crashed down, he thought
Und als das Flugzeug abstürzte, dachte er
"Well, isn't this nice"
„Nun, ist das nicht schön“
And isn't it ironic, don't you think?
Und ist das nicht ironisch, findest du nicht?
It's like rain on your wedding day
Es ist wie Regen an deinem Hochzeitstag
It's a free ride when you've already paid
Es ist eine kostenlose Fahrt, wenn du schon bezahlt hast
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Es ist der gute Rat, den du einfach nicht angenommen hast
And who would've thought? It figures
Und wer hätte das gedacht? Es passt einfach
Well, life has a funny way
Nun, das Leben hat eine lustige Art
Of sneaking up on you
Sich an dich heranzuschleichen
When you think everything's okay
Wenn du denkst, alles ist in Ordnung
And everything's going right
Und alles läuft gut
Yeah, well, life has a funny way
Ja, das Leben hat eine lustige Art
Of helping you out
Dir zu helfen
When you think everything's gone wrong
Wenn du denkst, alles ist schief gelaufen
And everything blows up in your face
Und alles explodiert dir im Gesicht
A traffic jam when you're already late
Ein Stau, wenn du schon spät dran bist
A "no smoking" sign on your cigarette break
Ein „Rauchen verboten“ Schild in deiner Zigarettenpause
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
Es ist wie zehntausend Löffel, wenn du eigentlich ein Messer brauchst
It's meeting the man of my dreams
Es ist, als würde man den Mann meiner Träume treffen
And meeting his beautiful husband
Und seinen schönen Ehemann kennenlernen
And isn't it ironic, don't you think?
Und ist das nicht ironisch, findest du nicht?
A little too ironic, and yeah, I really do think
Ein bisschen zu ironisch, und ja, ich denke wirklich
It's like rain on your wedding day
Es ist wie Regen an deinem Hochzeitstag
It's a free ride when you've already paid
Es ist eine kostenlose Fahrt, wenn du schon bezahlt hast
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Es ist der gute Rat, den du einfach nicht angenommen hast
And who would've thought? It figures
Und wer hätte das gedacht? Es passt einfach

An old man turned ninety-eight
Um velho homem completou noventa e oito
He won the lottery and died the next day
Ele ganhou na loteria e morreu no dia seguinte
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
É uma mosca preta no seu Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
É um perdão do corredor da morte dois minutos atrasado
And isn't it ironic, don't you think?
E não é irônico, você não acha?
It's like rain on your wedding day
É como chuva no dia do seu casamento
It's a free ride when you've already paid
É uma carona grátis quando você já pagou
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
É o bom conselho que você simplesmente não aceitou
And who would've thought? It figures
E quem teria pensado? Faz sentido
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
O Sr. Joga Seguro tinha medo de voar
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
Ele arrumou sua mala e beijou seus filhos adeus
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
Ele esperou toda a sua maldita vida para pegar aquele voo
And as the plane crashed down, he thought
E quando o avião caiu, ele pensou
"Well, isn't this nice"
"Bem, não é isso agradável"
And isn't it ironic, don't you think?
E não é irônico, você não acha?
It's like rain on your wedding day
É como chuva no dia do seu casamento
It's a free ride when you've already paid

Bem, a vida tem um jeito engraçado
Of sneaking up on you
De surpreender você
When you think everything's okay
Quando você acha que está tudo bem
And everything's going right
E tudo está indo bem
Yeah, well, life has a funny way
Sim, bem, a vida tem um jeito engraçado
Of helping you out
De te ajudar
When you think everything's gone wrong
Quando você acha que tudo deu errado
And everything blows up in your face
E tudo explode na sua cara
A traffic jam when you're already late
Um engarrafamento quando você já está atrasado
A "no smoking" sign on your cigarette break
Uma placa de "proibido fumar" na sua pausa para o cigarro
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
É como dez mil colheres quando tudo que você precisa é uma faca
It's meeting the man of my dreams
É conhecer o homem dos meus sonhos
And meeting his beautiful husband
E conhecer seu lindo marido
And isn't it ironic, don't you think?
E não é irônico, você não acha?
A little too ironic, and yeah, I really do think
Um pouco demais irônico, e sim, eu realmente acho
It's like rain on your wedding day
É como chuva no dia do seu casamento
It's a free ride when you've already paid
É uma carona grátis quando você já pagou
It's the good advice that you just didn't take

Un atasco de tráfico cuando ya llegas tarde
A "no smoking" sign on your cigarette break
Un cartel de "prohibido fumar" en tu descanso para fumar
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
Es como diez mil cucharas cuando todo lo que necesitas es un cuchillo

And meeting his beautiful husband
Y conocer a su hermoso marido

It's the good advice that you just didn't take
È il buon consiglio che semplicemente non hai seguito
And who would've thought? It figures
E chi l'avrebbe mai pensato? È logico
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
Il signor Gioca Sicuro aveva paura di volare
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
Ha fatto la valigia e ha salutato i suoi figli
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight

Di aiutarti
When you think everything's gone wrong
Quando pensi che tutto sia andato storto
And everything blows up in your face
E tutto ti esplode in faccia
A traffic jam when you're already late
Un ingorgo quando sei già in ritardo
A "no smoking" sign on your cigarette break
Un cartello "vietato fumare" durante la tua pausa sigaretta
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
È come diecimila cucchiai quando tutto ciò di cui hai bisogno è un coltello
