Lyrics and translation Billy Bragg - The Cloth (1)
Did
you
believe
those
things
Tu
as
cru
à
ces
choses
We
read
in
the
papers?
Que
nous
lisons
dans
les
journaux ?
And
never
mind
that,
can
you
meet
me
Et
n’oublie
pas
ça,
peux-tu
me
retrouver
Down
at
the
Time
Warp
tonight?
Au
Time
Warp
ce
soir ?
Oh
you
look
divine
Oh,
tu
es
divine
That
suit
would
get
you
into
anywhere
Ce
costume
te
permettrait
d’entrer
n’importe
où
Tonight
I'll
be,
as
you
can
see
Ce
soir,
je
serai,
comme
tu
peux
le
voir
The
idol
of
an
island
far,
far
away
L’idole
d’une
île
lointaine,
très
lointaine
A
man
of
straw
in
cloth
of
gold
Un
homme
de
paille
en
tissu
d’or
Look
into
his
eyes
at
the
days
of
old
Regarde
dans
ses
yeux
les
jours
anciens
And
bow
to
the
cloth
Et
incline-toi
devant
le
tissu
And
bow
to
the
cloth
Et
incline-toi
devant
le
tissu
Can
you
believe
those
things
Peux-tu
croire
à
ces
choses
We've
seen
in
the
papers?
Que
nous
avons
vues
dans
les
journaux ?
And
never
mind
that,
can
you
get
Et
n’oublie
pas
ça,
peux-tu
arriver
To
the
bar
before
the
next
egg
starts?
Au
bar
avant
que
le
prochain
œuf
ne
commence ?
The
word
goes
'round
the
eyes
of
a
wife
Le
mot
se
répand
dans
les
yeux
d’une
femme
And
magazines
with
shiny
pages
Et
les
magazines
aux
pages
brillantes
And
my
hay-head
where
will
it
stop?
Et
ma
tête
de
foin,
où
s’arrêtera-t-elle ?
And
the
boys
in
the
shop
continue
to
bop
Et
les
garçons
de
l’atelier
continuent
à
danser
A
man
of
straw
in
cloth
of
gold
Un
homme
de
paille
en
tissu
d’or
Look
into
his
eyes
to
the
days
of
old
Regarde
dans
ses
yeux
les
jours
anciens
And
bow
to
the
cloth
Et
incline-toi
devant
le
tissu
Bow
to
the
cloth
Incline-toi
devant
le
tissu
Heading
down,
getting
further
down
Descendant,
descendant
de
plus
en
plus
And
we've
hit
an
iceburg
Et
nous
avons
heurté
un
iceberg
But
I
don't
care
what
the
people
think
Mais
je
me
fiche
de
ce
que
les
gens
pensent
I
will
drink
and
drink
till
the
damn
ship
sinks
Je
boirai
et
boirai
jusqu’à
ce
que
le
putain
de
navire
coule
A
man
of
straw
in
cloth
of
gold
Un
homme
de
paille
en
tissu
d’or
Look
into
his
eyes
to
the
days
of
old
Regarde
dans
ses
yeux
les
jours
anciens
A
drowing
man
in
a
metal
coat
Un
homme
qui
se
noie
dans
un
manteau
de
métal
The
prince
has
fallen
into
the
moat
Le
prince
est
tombé
dans
le
fossé
To
the
cloth,
to
the
cloth
Vers
le
tissu,
