Lyrics and translation Chumbawamba - I Did It For Alfie




I Did It For Alfie
Je l'ai fait pour Alfie
Rejoice, just rejoice at that news
Réjouis-toi, réjouis-toi de cette nouvelle
This girl has got the midlife blues
Cette fille a le blues de la quarantaine
She lost her favourite marble again
Elle a encore perdu sa bille préférée
It rolled down the nearest drain
Elle est tombée dans le drain le plus proche
A swing to the right and she's under attack
Un mouvement vers la droite et elle est attaquée
Much-sought-after property, completely detached
Bien recherchée, propriété complètement détachée
Plunging at the neck and daring at the back
Plongeant au niveau du cou et osant à l'arrière
And everybody says she looks better like that
Et tout le monde dit qu'elle est plus belle comme ça
Everybody says she looks better like that
Tout le monde dit qu'elle est plus belle comme ça
Everybody says she looks better like that
Tout le monde dit qu'elle est plus belle comme ça
Everybody says she looks better like that
Tout le monde dit qu'elle est plus belle comme ça
Everybody says she looks better like that
Tout le monde dit qu'elle est plus belle comme ça
Rejoice, just rejoice at that news
Réjouis-toi, réjouis-toi de cette nouvelle
This girl was split completely in two
Cette fille était complètement divisée en deux
Trevor, knock me down with a feather
Trevor, fais-moi tomber avec une plume
In the United Kingdom of Whatever
Dans le Royaume-Uni de Quoi Qu'il En Soit
With a clean-cut center parting and a bloodrush to the head
Avec une raie au milieu bien nette et un afflux de sang à la tête
"You won't get any older, dear," is what the stylist said
« Tu ne vieilliras pas, ma chère, » a dit le styliste
It's elegant bold and striking, she'll never need a hat
C'est élégant, audacieux et frappant, elle n'aura jamais besoin de chapeau
And everybody says she looks better like that
Et tout le monde dit qu'elle est plus belle comme ça
Everybody says she looks better like that
Tout le monde dit qu'elle est plus belle comme ça
Everybody says she looks better like that
Tout le monde dit qu'elle est plus belle comme ça
Everybody says she looks better like that
Tout le monde dit qu'elle est plus belle comme ça
Everybody says she looks better like that
Tout le monde dit qu'elle est plus belle comme ça
Alfie, I did it for Alfie
Alfie, je l'ai fait pour Alfie
Alfie, I did it for Alfie
Alfie, je l'ai fait pour Alfie
Alfie, I did it for Alfie
Alfie, je l'ai fait pour Alfie

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.
