Lyrics and translation Billy Bragg - To Have and to Have Not - Live




To Have and to Have Not - Live
Avoir et ne pas avoir - Live
Up in the morning and out to school
Je me lève le matin et je vais à l’école
Mother says there'll be no work next year
Maman dit qu’il n’y aura pas de travail l’année prochaine
Qualifications once the Golden Rule
Les qualifications, autrefois la règle d’or
Are now just pieces of paper
Ne sont plus que des bouts de papier
Just because you're better than me
Ce n’est pas parce que tu es meilleur que moi
Doesn't mean I'm lazy
Que je suis fainéant
Just because you're going forwards
Ce n’est pas parce que tu avances
Doesn't mean I'm going backwards
Que je recule
If you look the part you'll get the job
Si tu as l’air du rôle, tu auras le travail
In last year's trousers and your old school shoes
Dans ton pantalon de l’année dernière et tes vieux souliers d’école
The truth is son, it's a buyer's market
La vérité, mon fils, c’est que c’est un marché de vendeurs
They can afford to pick and choose
Ils peuvent se permettre de choisir
Just because you're better than me
Ce n’est pas parce que tu es meilleur que moi
Doesn't mean I'm lazy
Que je suis fainéant
Just because I dress like this
Ce n’est pas parce que je m’habille comme ça
Doesn't mean I'm a communist
Que je suis communiste
The factories are closing and the army's full
Les usines ferment et l’armée est pleine
I don't know what I'm going to do
Je ne sais pas ce que je vais faire
But I've come to see in the Land of the Free
Mais j’ai compris dans le pays de la liberté
There's only a future for the Chosen Few
Il n’y a qu’un avenir pour les élus
Just because you're better than me
Ce n’est pas parce que tu es meilleur que moi
Doesn't mean I'm lazy
Que je suis fainéant
Just because you're going forwards
Ce n’est pas parce que tu avances
Doesn't mean I'm going backwards
Que je recule
At twenty one you're on top of the scrapheap
A vingt et un ans, tu es au sommet du tas de ferraille
At sixteen you were top of the class
A seize ans, tu étais en tête de classe
All they taught you at school
Tout ce qu’ils t’ont appris à l’école
Was how to be a good worker
C’était comment être un bon travailleur
The system has failed you, don't fail yourself
Le système t’a fait faux bond, ne te fais pas faux bond toi-même
Just because you're better than me
Ce n’est pas parce que tu es meilleur que moi
Doesn't mean I'm lazy
Que je suis fainéant
Just because you're going forwards
Ce n’est pas parce que tu avances
Doesn't mean I'm going backwards
Que je recule
