Lyrics and translation Chumbawamba - Pass It Along




Pass It Along
Passe-le
In a democracy the ignorant and meddlesome outsiders,
Dans une démocratie, les ignorants et les curieux de l'extérieur,
The general population, has to be kept from interfering.
La population en général, doit être empêchée d'interférer.
They can be spectators, but not participants
Ils peuvent être des spectateurs, mais pas des participants
No matter how much legal action you put behind this,
Peu importe le nombre d'actions en justice que tu lances,
People are going to do what they want to do
Les gens vont faire ce qu'ils veulent
Spectators, but not participants
Spectateurs, mais pas participants
It's time to talk about censorship
Il est temps de parler de censure
Send this song to twenty people
Envoie cette chanson à vingt personnes
And isn't it stealing? Add your name, don't break the cycle
Et n'est-ce pas du vol ? Ajoute ton nom, ne romps pas le cycle
From people to people
De personne à personne
Pass it along, pass it along
Passe-le, passe-le
People like MP3s
Les gens aiment les MP3
Pass it along, pass it along
Passe-le, passe-le
How about trying this future on for size?
Que dirais-tu d'essayer cet avenir ?
Well it's a one for the money
Eh bien, c'est un pour l'argent
Spectators, but not participants
Spectateurs, mais pas participants
Well it's a one for the money
Eh bien, c'est un pour l'argent
Spectators, but not participants
Spectateurs, mais pas participants
You can't legislate people's behavior
Tu ne peux pas légiférer sur le comportement des gens
This is what we want to do, you know,
C'est ce que nous voulons faire, tu sais,
If they consider that selling out, then, uh, whatever
S'ils considèrent que c'est une trahison, alors, euh, quoi qu'il en soit
Whatever
Quoi qu'il en soit
Whatever
Quoi qu'il en soit
The people who run Napster should be in prison
Les gens qui gèrent Napster devraient être en prison
It's time to talk about censorship
Il est temps de parler de censure
Send this song to twenty people
Envoie cette chanson à vingt personnes
And isn't it stealing? Add your name, don't break the cycle
Et n'est-ce pas du vol ? Ajoute ton nom, ne romps pas le cycle
From people to people
De personne à personne
Pass it along, pass it along
Passe-le, passe-le
People like MP3s
Les gens aiment les MP3
Pass it along, pass it along
Passe-le, passe-le
The best things in life are free
Les meilleures choses dans la vie sont gratuites
The best things in life are free
Les meilleures choses dans la vie sont gratuites
And isn't it stealing? The best things in life are free
Et n'est-ce pas du vol ? Les meilleures choses dans la vie sont gratuites
And isn't it stealing? The best things in life are free
Et n'est-ce pas du vol ? Les meilleures choses dans la vie sont gratuites
Why does a consumer want to download music for free?
Pourquoi un consommateur voudrait-il télécharger de la musique gratuitement ?
No matter how much legal action you put behind this,
Peu importe le nombre d'actions en justice que tu lances,
People are going to do what they want to do
Les gens vont faire ce qu'ils veulent
People are going to do what they want to do
Les gens vont faire ce qu'ils veulent
How about trying this future on for size?
Que dirais-tu d'essayer cet avenir ?
Well it's a one for the money
Eh bien, c'est un pour l'argent
Spectators, but not participants
Spectateurs, mais pas participants
Well it's a one for the money
Eh bien, c'est un pour l'argent
Spectators, but not participants
Spectateurs, mais pas participants
You can't legislate people's behavior
Tu ne peux pas légiférer sur le comportement des gens
Pass it along, pass it along
Passe-le, passe-le
We don't mind when our fans pay money to wear our promotional T-shirts,
On ne nous dérange pas quand nos fans paient de l'argent pour porter nos t-shirts promotionnels,
And it's fine when they pay forty dollars to come to one of our concerts,
Et c'est bien quand ils paient quarante dollars pour venir à l'un de nos concerts,
But when our fans think they can listen to our music for free,
Mais quand nos fans pensent qu'ils peuvent écouter notre musique gratuitement,
They just crossed the line
Ils ont juste franchi la ligne

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.
