Lyrics and translation Chumbawamba - Sleep




Sleep
Dormir
But how do kings and presidents, prime ministers and generals, and company chairmen sleep at night?
Mais comment les rois et les présidents, les premiers ministres et les généraux, et les présidents de conseil d'administration dorment-ils la nuit ?
How do they shut their eyes when they turn out the lights?
Comment peuvent-ils fermer les yeux quand ils éteignent les lumières ?
Turn out the lights for the people they're shitting on
Éteindre les lumières pour les gens sur lesquels ils chient
Turn out the lights for the people they're torturing
Éteindre les lumières pour les gens qu'ils torturent
Turn out the lights for the people they're poisoning
Éteindre les lumières pour les gens qu'ils empoisonnent
Turn out the lights for the people they're starving
Éteindre les lumières pour les gens qu'ils affament
Turn out the lights for the people they've murdered
Éteindre les lumières pour les gens qu'ils ont assassinés
They got two big secrets one up each sleeve, first they believe that they're doing God's work, and that's the lie that they can lie down with, 'Cause it's seconded by the people they govern. 'Cause the people they govern will work for them, buy from them, and die for them
Ils ont deux grands secrets, un dans chaque manche, d'abord ils croient qu'ils font l'œuvre de Dieu, et c'est le mensonge avec lequel ils peuvent se coucher, parce qu'il est secondé par les gens qu'ils gouvernent. Parce que les gens qu'ils gouvernent travailleront pour eux, achèteront chez eux, et mourront pour eux
And the people they govern will vote for them
Et les gens qu'ils gouvernent voteront pour eux
And the people they govern do their sleeping for them
Et les gens qu'ils gouvernent font leur sommeil pour eux
Do their sleeping for them, do their sleeping for them
Ils font leur sommeil pour eux, ils font leur sommeil pour eux
Meanwhile Ronnie is on first name terms with God, or so he sees it in his head. Too many motion pictures when he was younger, and he's round at God's place for a meal.
Pendant ce temps, Ronnie est sur un prénom avec Dieu, ou du moins c'est ce qu'il voit dans sa tête. Trop de films quand il était plus jeune, et il est chez Dieu pour un repas.
God preparest a table before Ronnie
Dieu prépare une table devant Ronnie
In the presence of Ronnie's enemies
En présence des ennemis de Ronnie
God annointest Ronnies' head with oil
Dieu oint la tête de Ronnie d'huile
Ronnie's cup runneth over
La coupe de Ronnie déborde
Surely goodness and mercy, shall follow Ron
Sûrement la bonté et la miséricorde suivront Ron
An Psalm is an anagram of napalms
Un Psaume est un anagramme de Napalms
Wake up, we must wake up!
Réveille-toi, on doit se réveiller !
We must wake up!
On doit se réveiller !
We must wake up!
On doit se réveiller !
We must wake up!
On doit se réveiller !

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.
