Lyrics and translation Billy Bragg - A Lover Sings (Alternative Version)
You
and
I
are
victims
of
a
love
Toi
et
moi,
nous
sommes
victimes
d'un
amour
That
lost
a
lot
in
the
translation
Qui
a
beaucoup
perdu
dans
la
traduction
When
I
think
of
all
the
time
that
I
spent
Quand
je
pense
à
tout
le
temps
que
j'ai
passé
Sitting
on
the
edge
of
your
bed
in
anticipation
Assis
au
bord
de
ton
lit
dans
l'attente
Of
you
giving
in
and
us
living
in
sin
Que
tu
cèdes
et
que
nous
vivions
dans
le
péché
A
hot
day,
the
smell
of
hairspray
Une
journée
chaude,
l'odeur
de
la
laque
pour
cheveux
And
the
sound
of
a
shower
running
softly
Et
le
bruit
d'une
douche
qui
coule
doucement
It's
things
like
this
that
remind
me
of
how
I
felt
Ce
sont
des
choses
comme
ça
qui
me
rappellent
ce
que
je
ressentais
The
first
time
you
came
back
for
coffee
La
première
fois
que
tu
es
revenu
pour
le
café
The
way
you
took
it
amazed
me
La
façon
dont
tu
l'as
pris
m'a
étonné
Walking
in
the
park,
kissing
in
the
dark
Se
promener
dans
le
parc,
s'embrasser
dans
l'obscurité
And
my
head
against
your
pillow
Et
ma
tête
contre
ton
oreiller
Late
at
night
a
lover
sings
Tard
dans
la
nuit,
un
amoureux
chante
Adam
and
eve
are
finding
out
all
about
love
Adam
et
Ève
découvrent
tout
sur
l'amour
I
say
adam
and
eve
are
finding
out
all
about
love
Je
dis
qu'Adam
et
Ève
découvrent
tout
sur
l'amour
There
is
no
real
substitute
Il
n'y
a
pas
de
véritable
substitut
For
a
ball
struck
squarely
and
firmly
À
un
ballon
frappé
carrément
et
fermement
And
you're
the
kind
of
girl
who
wants
to
Et
tu
es
le
genre
de
fille
qui
veut
Open
up
the
bottle
of
pop
Ouvrir
la
bouteille
de
soda
Too
early
in
the
journey
Trop
tôt
dans
le
voyage
Our
love
went
flat
just
like
that
Notre
amour
s'est
affaissé
comme
ça
It
doesn't
matter
the
colour
of
the
car
Peu
importe
la
couleur
de
la
voiture
But
what
goes
on
beneath
the
bonnet
Mais
ce
qui
se
passe
sous
le
capot
Is
there
a
flag
that
flies
above
your
heart
Y
a-t-il
un
drapeau
qui
flotte
au-dessus
de
ton
cœur
And
is
my
name
writ
there
upon
it
Et
mon
nom
y
est-il
inscrit
Wedding
cake
and
toothache
Gâteau
de
mariage
et
mal
de
dents
Equals
love
and
pain
Égale
l'amour
et
la
douleur
Walking
in
the
park,
kissing
on
the
carpet
Se
promener
dans
le
parc,
s'embrasser
sur
le
tapis
And
your
tights
around
your
ankles
Et
tes
collants
autour
de
tes
chevilles
Late
at
night
a
