Lyrics and translation Billy Bragg - The Saturday Boy (Live at I Beam – San Francisco 3 June 1985)




The Saturday Boy (Live at I Beam – San Francisco 3 June 1985)
Le garçon du samedi (Live à I Beam - San Francisco 3 juin 1985)
I'll never forget the first day I met her
Je n'oublierai jamais le jour je t'ai rencontrée pour la première fois
That September morning was clear and fresh
Ce matin de septembre était clair et frais
The way she spoke and laughed at my jokes
La façon dont tu parlais et riais à mes blagues
And the way she rubbed herself
Et la façon dont tu te frottais
Against the edge of my desk
Contre le bord de mon bureau
She became a magic mystery to me
Tu es devenue un mystère magique pour moi
And we'd sit together in double
Et nous nous asseyions ensemble en double
History twice a week
Histoire deux fois par semaine
And some days we'd walk the same way home
Et certains jours, nous rentrions à la maison par le même chemin
And it's surprising how quick
Et c'est surprenant à quel point
A little rain can clear the streets
Un peu de pluie peut nettoyer les rues
We dreamed of her and compared our dreams
Nous rêvions de toi et comparions nos rêves
But that was all that I ever tasted
Mais c'est tout ce que j'ai jamais goûté
She lied to me with her body you see
Tu m'as menti avec ton corps, tu vois
I lied to myself 'bout the chances I'd wasted
Je me suis menti à moi-même sur les chances que j'avais perdues
The times we were close
Les fois nous étions proches
Were far and few between
Étaient rares
In the darkness at the dances in the school canteen
Dans l'obscurité, aux danses dans la cantine de l'école
Did she close her eyes like I did
Fermais-tu les yeux comme moi
As we held each other tight
Alors que nous nous tenions serrés
And la la la la la la la la means I love you
Et la la la la la la la la la signifie que je t'aime
She danced with me and I still hold that memory
Tu as dansé avec moi et je garde toujours ce souvenir
Soft and sweet
Doux et agréable
And I stare up at her window
Et je regarde ta fenêtre
As I walk down her street
Alors que je marche dans ta rue
But I never made the first team,
Mais je n'ai jamais fait partie de la première équipe,
I just made the first team laugh
J'ai juste fait rire la première équipe
And she never came to the phone
Et tu n'as jamais répondu au téléphone
She was always in the bath
Tu étais toujours dans le bain
In the end, it took me a dictionary
Finalement, il m'a fallu un dictionnaire
To find out the meaning of unrequited
Pour découvrir la signification de non réciproque
While she was giving herself for free
Alors que tu te donnais gratuitement
At a party to which I was never invited
À une fête à laquelle je n'ai jamais été invité
I never understood my failings then
Je n'ai jamais compris mes échecs alors
And I hide my humble hopes now
Et je cache mes humbles espoirs maintenant
Thinking back she made us want her
En repensant, tu nous as fait te désirer
A girl not old enough to shave her legs
Une fille pas assez âgée pour se raser les jambes
