Lyrics and translation Chumbawamba - Don't Try This At Home




Don't Try This At Home
N'essayez pas ça à la maison
It's a long walk to the gallows
C'est une longue marche vers la potence
It's a small step to swing free
C'est un petit pas pour se libérer
The crying in the tower
Les pleurs dans la tour
For my conspirators and me
Pour mes conspirateurs et moi
Gunpowder and modem
Poudre à canon et modem
And a dream of liberty
Et un rêve de liberté
And then they'll tell you
Et puis ils te diront
Don't try this at home
N'essayez pas ça à la maison
Oh yes, they'll tell you
Oh oui, ils te diront
Don't try this at home
N'essayez pas ça à la maison
If you walk on the beach with King Canute
Si tu marches sur la plage avec le roi Canut
You'll be walking back alone
Tu rentreras seul
Tonight he'll dine on oysters
Ce soir, il dînera d'huîtres
While we fall like green acorns
Alors que nous tombons comme des glands verts
We'll be putting down our roots
Nous allons mettre nos racines
Right in the centre of the storm
En plein cœur de la tempête
Oh, but they'll tell you
Oh, mais ils te diront
Don't try this at home
N'essayez pas ça à la maison
Oh yes, they'll tell you
Oh oui, ils te diront
Don't try this at home
N'essayez pas ça à la maison
The cry of gulls, the hum of streets
Le cri des mouettes, le bourdonnement des rues
The buzz of phones, the march of feet
Le bourdonnement des téléphones, la marche des pieds
We'll meet tonight to draw up plans
Nous nous rencontrerons ce soir pour élaborer des plans
Exclamations, ampersands
Exclamations, esperluettes
Somewhere across the water
Quelque part au-delà de l'eau
They're storming palace gates
Ils prennent d'assaut les portes du palais
Scared of the moth-flame metaphor
Peur de la métaphore de la flamme de papillon
We fall asleep and wait
Nous nous endormons et attendons
Singing for a future
Chantant pour un avenir
But the chorus comes too late
Mais le refrain arrive trop tard
Because they'll tell you
Parce qu'ils te diront
Don't try this at home
N'essayez pas ça à la maison
Oh yes, they'll tell you
Oh oui, ils te diront
Don't try this at home
N'essayez pas ça à la maison
Don't, don't, don't, don't (repeats to end)
Ne, ne, ne, ne (répète jusqu'à la fin)
Don't try this at home (repeats to end)
N'essayez pas ça à la maison (répète jusqu'à la fin)
Try this at home (repeats to end)
Essaye ça à la maison (répète jusqu'à la fin)
So we're coming to the last dance
Alors, nous arrivons à la dernière danse
I've got another request
J'ai une autre demande
With your best foot forward
Avec votre meilleur pied en avant
We'll lay this ghost to rest
Nous allons mettre ce fantôme au repos
So we're coming to the last dance
Alors, nous arrivons à la dernière danse
I've got another request
J'ai une autre demande
With your best foot forward
Avec votre meilleur pied en avant
We'll lay this ghost to rest
Nous allons mettre ce fantôme au repos
So we're coming to the last dance
Alors, nous arrivons à la dernière danse
I've got another request
J'ai une autre demande

Исполнитель Chumbawamba, альбом The Boy Bands Have Won, and All the Copyists and the Tribute Bands and the TV Talent Show Producers Have Won, If We Allow Our Culture to Be Shaped by Mimicry, Whether from Lack of Ideas or From Exaggerated Respect. You Should Never Try to Freeze Culture. What You Can Do Is Recycle That Culture. Take Your Older Brother's Hand-Me-Down Jacket and Re-Style It, Re-Fashion It to the Point Where It Becomes Your Own. But Don't Just Regurgitate Creative History, or Hold Art and Music and Literature as Fixed, Untouchable and Kept Under Glass. The People Who Try to 'Guard' Any Particular Form of Music Are, Like the Copyists and Manufactured Bands, Doing It the Worst Disservice, Because the Only Thing That You Can Do to Music That Will Damage It Is Not Change It, Not Make It Your Own. Because Then It Dies, Then It's Over, Then It's Done, and the Boy Bands Have Won.
