Chumbawamba - The Ogre

Lyrics and translation Chumbawamba - The Ogre




The Ogre
L'Ogre
The Ogre does what Ogres can
L'Ogre fait ce que les Ogres peuvent
One prize beyond his reach –
Un prix au-delà de sa portée –
Conquers those who write the world
Conquiert ceux qui écrivent le monde
But cannot master speech
Mais ne peut pas maîtriser la parole
Among the hurt and slain
Parmi les blessés et les tués
On subjugated plain
Sur la plaine soumise
The Ogre's words so morbid and mundane.
Les paroles de l'Ogre sont si morbides et banales.

Исполнитель Chumbawamba, альбом The Boy Bands Have Won, and All the Copyists and the Tribute Bands and the TV Talent Show Producers Have Won, If We Allow Our Culture to Be Shaped by Mimicry, Whether from Lack of Ideas or From Exaggerated Respect. You Should Never Try to Freeze Culture. What You Can Do Is Recycle That Culture. Take Your Older Brother's Hand-Me-Down Jacket and Re-Style It, Re-Fashion It to the Point Where It Becomes Your Own. But Don't Just Regurgitate Creative History, or Hold Art and Music and Literature as Fixed, Untouchable and Kept Under Glass. The People Who Try to 'Guard' Any Particular Form of Music Are, Like the Copyists and Manufactured Bands, Doing It the Worst Disservice, Because the Only Thing That You Can Do to Music That Will Damage It Is Not Change It, Not Make It Your Own. Because Then It Dies, Then It's Over, Then It's Done, and the Boy Bands Have Won.
