Lyrics and translation Billy Bragg - Which Side Are You On (Live San Fransisco 3 June 1985)
This
government
had
an
idea
Ce
gouvernement
a
eu
une
idée
The
Parliament
made
it
law
Le
Parlement
en
a
fait
une
loi
Seems
like
it's
illegal
Il
semble
que
ce
soit
illégal
To
fight
for
the
Union
any
more
De
se
battre
pour
l'Union
plus
longtemps
And
which
side
are
you
on,
boys?
Et
de
quel
côté
es-tu,
mon
garçon
?
Which
side
are
you
on?
De
quel
côté
es-tu
?
Which
side
are
you
on,
boys?
De
quel
côté
es-tu,
mon
garçon
?
Which
side
are
you
on?
De
quel
côté
es-tu
?
We
set
out
to
join
the
picket
lines
Nous
sommes
partis
pour
rejoindre
les
piquets
de
grève
For
together
we
cannot
fail
Car
ensemble,
nous
ne
pouvons
pas
échouer
We
got
stopped
by
police
at
the
county
line
Nous
avons
été
arrêtés
par
la
police
à
la
frontière
du
comté
They
said,
"Go
home,
boys
or
you're
going
to
jail"
Ils
ont
dit
: "Rentrez
chez
vous,
les
garçons,
ou
vous
allez
en
prison"
And
which
side
are
you
on,
boys?
Et
de
quel
côté
es-tu,
mon
garçon
?
Which
side
are
you
on?
De
quel
côté
es-tu
?
Which
side
are
you
on,
boys?
De
quel
côté
es-tu,
mon
garçon
?
Which
side
are
you
on?
De
quel
côté
es-tu
?
Well,
it's
hard
to
explain
to
a
crying
child
Eh
bien,
c'est
difficile
d'expliquer
à
un
enfant
qui
pleure
Why
her
Daddy
won't
go
back
Pourquoi
son
papa
ne
revient
pas
So
the
family
suffer
but
it
hurts
me
more
Alors
la
famille
souffre,
mais
ça
me
fait
encore
plus
mal
To
hear
a
scab
say,?
Sod
you,
Jack?
D'entendre
un
briseur
de
grève
dire
: "Va
te
faire
voir,
Jack
?"
Which
side
are
you
on,
boys?
De
quel
côté
es-tu,
mon
garçon
?
Which
side
are
you
on?
De
quel
côté
es-tu
?
Which
side
are
you
on,
boys
De
quel
côté
es-tu,
mon
garçon
?
Which
side
are
you
on?
De
quel
côté
es-tu
?
Well,
I'm
bound
to
follow
my
conscience
Eh
bien,
je
suis
obligé
de
suivre
ma
conscience
And
I'll
do
whatever
I
can
Et
je
ferai
tout
ce
que
je
peux
But
it'll
take
much
more
than
the
Union
law
Mais
il
faudra
beaucoup
plus
que
la
loi
syndicale
To
knock
the
fight
out
of
a
working
man
Pour
enlever
le
combat
à
un
travailleur
And
which
side
are
you
on,
boys?
Et
de
quel
côté
es-tu,
mon
garçon
?
Which
side
are
you
on?
De
quel
côté
es-tu
?
Which
side
are
you
on,
boys?
De
quel
côté
es-tu,
mon
garçon
?
Which
side
are
you
on?
De
quel
côté
es-tu
?
