Lyrics and translation Chumbawamba - Laughter In a Time of War




Laughter In a Time of War
Rire en temps de guerre
Sometimes feels like singing your life away
Parfois, on a l'impression de chanter sa vie
F sharp minor up and down the motorway
En fa dièse mineur, sur l'autoroute
Too dog-tired; wouldn't want it any other way
Trop fatigué ; je ne voudrais pas que ce soit autrement
Laughter in a time of War
Rire en temps de guerre
Love on a Monday, football on a Saturday
Amour un lundi, football un samedi
Home-grown strawberries to justify the rain
Des fraises cultivées à la maison pour justifier la pluie
Sometimes I do, but I shouldn't complain
Parfois, je le fais, mais je ne devrais pas me plaindre
Laughter in a time of War
Rire en temps de guerre
Oh my soul
Oh mon âme
We got oil for the pan
On a de l'huile pour la poêle
We got rock n roll
On a du rock n roll
Laughter lines run deeper than skin
Les rides du rire sont plus profondes que la peau
And the world's just
Et le monde est juste
Something that the cat brought in
Quelque chose que le chat a ramené
Late summer evening after the attack
Fin de soirée d'été après l'attaque
Food from the aeroplanes wrapped up in a flag
De la nourriture des avions enveloppée dans un drapeau
He went for the money but he won't come back
Il est allé chercher l'argent, mais il ne reviendra pas
Laughter in a time of War
Rire en temps de guerre
Take my life and sing it back to me
Prends ma vie et chante-la moi
My big mouth, it's my own worst enemy
Ma grande bouche, c'est mon pire ennemi
Funny how it all sounds better in harmony
C'est drôle comme tout ça sonne mieux en harmonie
Laughter in a time of War
Rire en temps de guerre
Oh my soul
Oh mon âme
(Repeat)
(Répéter)
The people at the top have further to fall
Les gens au sommet ont plus loin à tomber

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.
