Billy Bragg - Bread & Circuses - translation of the lyrics into French

Lyrics and translation Billy Bragg - Bread & Circuses




Bread & Circuses
Pain et jeux du cirque
Crowds gather round kneeling at the feet of common thieves
Les foules se rassemblent, s'agenouillant aux pieds de voleurs ordinaires
Hungry for the word, but God would never speak through such as these
Affamés du mot, mais Dieu ne parlerait jamais par l'intermédiaire de tels êtres
Such as these
De tels êtres
Who offer healing hands and balms, and redemption
Qui offrent des mains guérisseuses et des baumes, et la rédemption
A few would cross their palms
Quelques-uns croiseraient leurs paumes
They'll tell your troubles to the Lord for however much you can afford
Ils diront tes problèmes au Seigneur pour tout ce que tu peux te permettre
Hands holding hands in the circle of the sinners and the saints
Mains dans les mains dans le cercle des pécheurs et des saints
Memories that linger from the cradle, placing puzzles in the grave
Des souvenirs qui persistent depuis le berceau, plaçant des puzzles dans la tombe
In the grave
Dans la tombe
No mortal skin and bone can live on bread and circuses alone
Aucune peau et aucun os mortels ne peuvent vivre de pain et de jeux du cirque seuls
The spirit needs must drive the mystery of why you're alive
L'esprit doit nécessairement conduire le mystère de pourquoi tu es en vie
They look in their book and they read
Ils regardent dans leur livre et ils lisent
But their cold hearts say "Follow me"
Mais leurs cœurs froids disent "Suis-moi"
Dance in the dust in the frenzy of the desperately in need
Danse dans la poussière dans la frénésie de ceux qui sont désespérément dans le besoin
Led by the voices of the men who invoke ritual to hide their greed
Guidés par les voix des hommes qui invoquent le rituel pour cacher leur avidité
Hide their greed
Cacher leur avidité
Come every tongue, every eye across the crumbling earth and cracking skies
Venez toutes les langues, tous les yeux à travers la terre qui s'effondre et les cieux qui se fendent
The gates of hell stand open wide, but the path of glory you walk
Les portes de l'enfer sont grandes ouvertes, mais le chemin de la gloire que tu marches
Single file
En file indienne
They look in their book and they read
Ils regardent dans leur livre et ils lisent
But their cold hearts say "Follow me"
Mais leurs cœurs froids disent "Suis-moi"
These men make a cage for the very souls they came here to be freed
Ces hommes font une cage pour les âmes mêmes qu'ils sont venus libérer
They turn off their lights for their tents they're fixing to leave
Ils éteignent leurs lumières pour leurs tentes qu'ils s'apprêtent à quitter
They look in their book and they read
Ils regardent dans leur livre et ils lisent
But their cold hearts say "Follow me"
Mais leurs cœurs froids disent "Suis-moi"
They'll close all their books and they'll leave
Ils fermeront tous leurs livres et ils s'en iront
Their cold hearts say "Follow me"
Leurs cœurs froids disent "Suis-moi"
They'll close their book and leave
Ils fermeront leur livre et s'en iront
They'll close up their books and they'll leave
Ils fermeront leurs livres et s'en iront
But you'll remain still in pain
Mais tu resteras encore dans la douleur
