Lyrics and translation Billy Bragg - Like Solders Do




Like Solders Do
Comme des soldats
Blue eyes fighting the grey eyes
Des yeux bleus combattant les yeux gris
Fighting the tears
Combattant les larmes
Armed to the teeth for a war of words
Armé jusqu'aux dents pour une guerre de mots
Reaching all the years
Atteignant toutes les années
I advanced across a poppy field
J'ai avancé à travers un champ de coquelicots
I saw the gleam as you raised your shield
J'ai vu l'éclat lorsque tu as levé ton bouclier
And love screamed down with the sun
Et l'amour a crié avec le soleil
Behind its back
Derrière son dos
Our fathers were all soldiers
Nos pères étaient tous des soldats
Shall we be soldiers too
Serons-nous des soldats aussi
Fighting and falling like soldiers do
Combattant et tombant comme des soldats
Nothing is clear in this
Rien n'est clair dans ce
Tactical unclear war
Guerre tactique incertaine
I can't be bothered to find out
Je n'ai pas envie de savoir
What were fighting for
Pourquoi on se bat
No one can win this war of the senses
Personne ne peut gagner cette guerre des sens
I see no reason to drop my defenses
Je ne vois aucune raison de baisser mes défenses
So stand fat my emotions
Alors reste ferme, mes émotions
Rally round my shaking heart
Rassemble-toi autour de mon cœur qui tremble
Our fathers were all soldiers
Nos pères étaient tous des soldats
Shall we be soldiers too
Serons-nous des soldats aussi
Fighting and falling like soldiers do
Combattant et tombant comme des soldats
Blue eyes fighting the grey eyes
Des yeux bleus combattant les yeux gris
Fighting the tears
Combattant les larmes
Armed to the teeth for a war of worlds
Armé jusqu'aux dents pour une guerre de mondes
Reaching all the years
Atteignant toutes les années
I advanced across a poppy field
J'ai avancé à travers un champ de coquelicots
I saw the gleam as you raised your shield
J'ai vu l'éclat lorsque tu as levé ton bouclier
And love screamed down
Et l'amour a crié
With the sun behind his back
Avec le soleil derrière son dos
I knew once again
Je savais une fois de plus
I was under attack
J'étais attaqué
So stand fast my emotions
Alors reste ferme, mes émotions
Rally round my shaking heart
Rassemble-toi autour de mon cœur qui tremble
Our fathers were all soldiers
Nos pères étaient tous des soldats
Shall we be soldiers too
Serons-nous des soldats aussi
Fighting and falling like soldiers
Combattant et tombant comme des soldats
Fighting and falling like soldiers
Combattant et tombant comme des soldats
Fighting and falling like soldiers do
Combattant et tombant comme des soldats
