Lyrics and translation Billy Bragg - The Marching Song of the Covert Battalions




The Marching Song of the Covert Battalions
La Marche de la Compagnie Secrète
Here we are, seeking out the Reds
Nous voilà, à la recherche des Rouges
Trying to keep the communists in order
Essayer de garder les communistes en ordre
Just remember when you're sleeping in your beds
N'oublie pas, quand tu dors dans ton lit
They're only two days drive from the Texas border
Ils ne sont qu'à deux jours de route de la frontière du Texas
How can a country large as ours
Comment un pays aussi grand que le nôtre
Be scared of such a threat
Peut-il avoir peur d'une telle menace
Well if they won't work for us
Eh bien, s'ils ne veulent pas travailler pour nous
They're against us you can bet
Ils sont contre nous, tu peux parier
They may be sovereign countries
Ce sont peut-être des pays souverains
But you folks at home forget
Mais vous, à la maison, vous oubliez
That they all want what we've got
Qu'ils veulent tous ce que nous avons
But they don't know it yet
Mais ils ne le savent pas encore
We're making the world safe for capitalism
On rend le monde sûr pour le capitalisme
Here we come with our candy and our guns
Nous arrivons avec nos bonbons et nos armes
And our corporate muscle marches in behind us
Et notre muscle corporatif marche derrière nous
For freedom's just another world for nothing left to sell
Car la liberté n'est qu'un autre mot pour rien à vendre
And if you want narcotics we can get you those as well
Et si tu veux des stupéfiants, on peut te les procurer aussi
We help the multi-nationals
On aide les multinationales
When they cry out protect us
Quand elles crient "Protégez-nous !"
The locals scream and shout a bit
Les habitants crient et hurlent un peu
But we don't let that affect us
Mais on ne laisse pas ça nous affecter
We're here to lend a helping hand
On est pour donner un coup de main
In case they don't elect us
Au cas ils ne nous élisent pas
How dare they buy our products
Comment osent-ils acheter nos produits
Yet still they don't respect us
Et pourtant, ils ne nous respectent pas
We're making the world safe for capitalism
On rend le monde sûr pour le capitalisme
If you thought the army
Si tu pensais que l'armée
Was here protecting people like yourself
Était pour protéger des gens comme toi
I've some news for you
J'ai des nouvelles pour toi
We're here to defend wealth
On est pour défendre la richesse
Away with nuns and bishops
Fini les religieuses et les évêques
The Good Lord will help those that help themselves
Le Bon Dieu aidera ceux qui s'aident eux-mêmes
I've some news for you
J'ai des nouvelles pour toi
We're here to defend wealth
On est pour défendre la richesse
We're making the world safe for capitalism
On rend le monde sûr pour le capitalisme
