Billy Bragg - Everywhere - translation of the lyrics into French

Lyrics and translation Billy Bragg - Everywhere




Everywhere
Partout
Dig in boys for an extended stay
Creuse, mon chéri, pour un séjour prolongé
Those were final orders to come down that day
C'était l'ordre final de descendre ce jour-là
Waiting to be saved in the Philippines
Attendre d'être sauvé aux Philippines
You'll wait forever for the young Marines
Tu attendras éternellement les jeunes Marines
Now I believe to be here is right
Maintenant, je crois que c'est bien d'être ici
But I have to say that I'm scared tonight
Mais je dois dire que j'ai peur ce soir
Crouching in this hole with a mouth full of sand
Accroupi dans ce trou avec la bouche pleine de sable
What comes first the country or the man?
Qu'est-ce qui vient en premier, le pays ou l'homme ?
Look at those slanted eyes coming up over the hill
Regarde ces yeux bridés qui arrivent au sommet de la colline
Catching us by surprise, it's time to kill or to be killed
Nous surprenant, il est temps de tuer ou d'être tué
Over here, over there, it's the same everywhere
Ici, là-bas, c'est pareil partout
A boy cries out for his mama before he dies for his home
Un garçon crie après sa maman avant de mourir pour sa patrie
All my life I wanted to be
Toute ma vie, j'ai voulu être
As clever and strong as my best friend Lee
Aussi intelligent et fort que mon meilleur ami Lee
We grew up together along Half Moon Bay
Nous avons grandi ensemble le long de Half Moon Bay
Lee was Japanese, born in the USA
Lee était japonais, aux États-Unis
When Tommy was fighting Jerry along the River Seine
Lorsque Tommy se battait contre Jerry le long de la Seine
Me and Lee wanted to do the same
Lee et moi voulions faire de même
Then they bombed Pearl Harbour at the break of day
Puis ils ont bombardé Pearl Harbour à l'aube
I was headed for these islands while Lee was hauled away
Je me dirigeais vers ces îles tandis que Lee était emmené
They said look at his slanted eyes, he's guilty as guilty can be
Ils ont dit regarde ses yeux bridés, il est aussi coupable qu'on puisse l'être
Sent here as enemy spies to sabatage the Land of the Free
Envoyé ici comme espion ennemi pour saboter le pays de la liberté
I never got home, my platoon was never saved
Je ne suis jamais rentré à la maison, mon peloton n'a jamais été sauvé
That little fox hole became my island grave
Ce petit trou a été ma tombe insulaire
Lee got out of jail but a prisoner he remained
Lee est sorti de prison, mais il est resté prisonnier
Till he ended his own life to lose that ball and chain
Jusqu'à ce qu'il mette fin à ses jours pour perdre cette chaîne
And they said Oh Little Slanted Eyes can't you forgive and forget?
Et ils ont dit Oh Petits Yeux Bridés, ne peux-tu pas pardonner et oublier ?
And he said, Oh Mr Friendly Ghost
Et il a dit, Oh Fantôme Amical
Can you catch water in a net?
Peux-tu attraper l'eau dans un filet ?
