Scapegoats - Christy Mooretranslation in French




Scapegoats
Boucs émissaires
There was five men playing poker, on the Heysham train
Il y avait cinq hommes qui jouaient au poker, dans le train de Heysham
Fate was dealing them a cruel hand;
Le destin leur distribuait une main cruelle ;
Hugh Callaghan was walking home, through the evening rain
Hugh Callaghan rentrait chez lui, sous la pluie du soir
Not knowing what lay in store for him.
Ne sachant pas ce qui l’attendait.
You'll find traces of nitro on cigarettes and matches,
Tu trouveras des traces de nitro sur les cigarettes et les allumettes,
On formica tabletops and on decks of playin' cards;
Sur les dessus de table en formica et sur les jeux de cartes ;
When forensic found traces on the hands of these six men
Lorsque la police scientifique a trouvé des traces sur les mains de ces six hommes
The police drove up from Birmingham,
La police est arrivée de Birmingham,
They were hoping the case was closed.
Ils espéraient que l’affaire était close.
Have you ever seen the mugshots that were taken
As-tu déjà vu les photos d’identité qui ont été prises
After forty eight hours in custody?
Après quarante-huit heures en garde à vue ?
Battered and bruised, haunted looks upon their faces
Battus et meurtris, des regards hantés sur leurs visages
The judge accepted they confessed willingly -
Le juge a accepté qu’ils aient avoué de leur plein gré -
Please take another look at what you see.
S’il te plaît, regarde encore une fois ce que tu vois.
If you tell me my family are being terrorised,
Si tu me dis que ma famille est terrorisée,
Keep me awake for six days and nights, confused and terrified;
Que tu me gardes éveillé pendant six jours et six nuits, confus et terrifié ;
In the lonely dark of night, I'll swear that black is white -
Dans l’obscurité de la nuit, je jurerai que le noir est blanc -
If you let me just lay down and close my eyes;
Si tu me laisses juste m’allonger et fermer les yeux ;
I'll sign anything, if you let me close my eyes.
Je signerai n’importe quoi, si tu me laisses fermer les yeux.
Scales of justice, balance up your act -
Balance de la justice, fais ton numéro -
Am I talking to myself or to the wall?
Est-ce que je parle à moi-même ou au mur ?
Hugh Callaghan, Paddy Hill, Gerry Hunter, Johnny Walker,
Hugh Callaghan, Paddy Hill, Gerry Hunter, Johnny Walker,
Billy Power, Dick McIlkenny scapegoats all
Billy Power, Dick McIlkenny, tous des boucs émissaires
For sixteen years they've been talking to the wall.
Pendant seize ans, ils ont parlé au mur.
