Lyrics and translation Billy Bragg - A Miner's Life
A
miner's
life
is
like
a
sailor
on
board
a
ship
to
cross
the
waves
La
vie
d'un
mineur
est
comme
celle
d'un
marin
à
bord
d'un
navire
pour
traverser
les
vagues
Every
day
his
life's
in
danger,
many
ventures
being
brave
Chaque
jour,
sa
vie
est
en
danger,
de
nombreuses
aventures
étant
courageuses
Watch
the
rocks,
they're
falling
daily,
careless
miners
always
fail
Faites
attention
aux
rochers,
ils
tombent
tous
les
jours,
les
mineurs
négligents
échouent
toujours
Keep
your
hand
upon
your
wages
and
your
eye
upon
the
scale
Garde
la
main
sur
ton
salaire
et
l'œil
sur
la
balance
Union
miners,
stand
together
Mineurs
syndicalistes,
tenez-vous
ensemble
Do
not
heed
the
Coal
Board's
tales
Ne
tenez
pas
compte
des
contes
de
la
Direction
des
mines
Keep
your
hand
upon
your
wages
Garde
la
main
sur
ton
salaire
And
your
eye
upon
the
scale
Et
l'œil
sur
la
balance
You've
been
docked
and
docked
again,
boys,
you've
been
loading
three
to
one
Vous
avez
été
amarrés
et
amarrés
à
nouveau,
les
gars,
vous
avez
chargé
trois
contre
un
What's
the
use
in
all
your
working
when
your
mining
days
are
done?
A
quoi
sert
tout
votre
travail
quand
vos
jours
de
mine
sont
terminés
?
Worn
out
shoes
and
worn
out
miners,
blackened
lungs
and
faces
pale
Des
chaussures
usées
et
des
mineurs
usés,
des
poumons
noirs
et
des
visages
pâles
Oh
keep
your
hand
upon
your
wages
and
your
eye
upon
the
scale
Oh,
garde
la
main
sur
ton
salaire
et
l'œil
sur
la
balance
Union
miners,
stand
together
Mineurs
syndicalistes,
tenez-vous
ensemble
Do
not
heed
the
Coal
Board's
tales
Ne
tenez
pas
compte
des
contes
de
la
Direction
des
mines
Keep
your
hand
upon
your
wages
Garde
la
main
sur
ton
salaire
And
your
eye
upon
the
scale
Et
l'œil
sur
la
balance
In
conclusion,
bear
in
memory,
keep
this
watchword
in
your
mind
En
conclusion,
n'oublie
pas,
garde
cette
devise
à
l'esprit
Worker's
strength
cannot
be
broken
when
in
unions
we
combine
La
force
des
travailleurs
ne
peut
être
brisée
lorsque
nous
nous
unissons
en
syndicats
Stand
up
tall
and
stand
together,
victory
for
you
prevails
Tenez-vous
droits
et
tenez-vous
ensemble,
la
victoire
vous
attend
Oh
keep
your
hands
upon
your
wages
and
your
eye

Oh,

main
sur
