Lyrics and translation Billy Bragg - Northern Industrial Town




Northern Industrial Town
Ville industrielle du Nord
It's just a northern industrial town
C'est juste une ville industrielle du nord
The front doors of the houses open into the street
Les portes d'entrée des maisons s'ouvrent sur la rue
There's no room for front gardens, just two-up two-down
Il n'y a pas de place pour les jardins, juste deux pièces en haut, deux en bas
In a northern industrial town
Dans une ville industrielle du nord
And you can see the green hills 'cross the rooftops
Et tu peux voir les collines verdoyantes au-dessus des toits
And a fresher wind blows past the end of our block
Et un vent plus frais souffle au bout de notre pâté de maisons
In the evenings the mist comes rolling on down
Le soir, la brume arrive en descendant
Into a northern industrial town
Dans une ville industrielle du nord
And there's only two teams in this town
Et il n'y a que deux équipes dans cette ville
And you must follow one or the other
Et tu dois suivre l'une ou l'autre
Let us win, let them lose, not the other way round
Laisse-nous gagner, laisse-les perdre, pas l'inverse
In a northern industrial town
Dans une ville industrielle du nord
And the street lights look pretty and bright
Et les lampadaires ont l'air jolis et brillants
From the tops of the hills they rise dark in the night
Du haut des collines, ils s'élèvent sombres dans la nuit
If it weren't for the rain you might never come down
S'il n'y avait pas la pluie, tu ne descendrais peut-être jamais
To your northern industrial town
Dans ta ville industrielle du nord
And on payday they tear the place down
Et le jour du paiement, ils démolissent l'endroit
With a pint in your hand and a bash'em out band
Avec une pinte à la main et un groupe qui les frappe
Sure they'd dance to the rhythm of the rain falling down
Bien sûr, ils danseraient au rythme de la pluie qui tombe
In a northern industrial town
Dans une ville industrielle du nord
And there's plenty of artists around
Et il y a plein d'artistes dans les parages
Painters steal cars, poets nick guitars
Les peintres volent des voitures, les poètes volent des guitares
Cos we're out of the black and into the red
Parce que nous sommes sortis du noir et entrés dans le rouge
So give us this day our daily bread
Alors donne-nous ce jour notre pain quotidien
In a northern industrial town
Dans une ville industrielle du nord
But it's not leeds or manchester
Mais ce n'est pas Leeds ou Manchester
Liverpool, sheffield, nor glasgow
Liverpool, Sheffield, ni Glasgow
It's not newcastle-on-tyne. it's belfast
Ce n'est pas Newcastle-upon-Tyne. C'est Belfast
It's just a northern industrial town
C'est juste une ville industrielle du nord
Merry christmas, war is over
Joyeux Noël, la guerre est finie
In a northern industrial town
Dans une ville industrielle du nord
