Lyrics and translation Chumbawamba - Smalltown




Smalltown
Petite ville
And every morning comes too soon
Et chaque matin arrive trop tôt
All your nights are sleepless
Toutes tes nuits sont blanches
Poison arrows
Des flèches empoisonnées
To ruin your tomorrows
Pour ruiner tes lendemains
Below suspicion
En dessous de toute suspicion
Cafes full of people dressed as spies
Les cafés sont remplis de personnes habillées en espion
And all I know
Et tout ce que je sais
Is guilt for being different
C'est la culpabilité d'être différent
It's always raining stones
Il pleut toujours des pierres
There's a killer in my home
Il y a un tueur dans ma maison
In a small town
Dans une petite ville
Everybody looks the same
Tout le monde se ressemble
There are unwritten rules
Il y a des règles non écrites
Unspoken words
Des paroles non dites
Should I pack my fear and go?
Dois-je faire mes valises et partir ?
I have to leave somehow
Je dois partir d'une manière ou d'une autre
Before they run me out of town
Avant qu'ils ne me chassent de la ville
I have to leave somehow
Je dois partir d'une manière ou d'une autre
And every morning comes too soon
Et chaque matin arrive trop tôt
All your nights are sleepless
Toutes tes nuits sont blanches
Poison arrows
Des flèches empoisonnées
To ruin your tomorrows
Pour ruiner tes lendemains
There are unwritten rules
Il y a des règles non écrites
Unspoken words
Des paroles non dites
Should I pack my fear and go?
Dois-je faire mes valises et partir ?
I have to leave somehow
Je dois partir d'une manière ou d'une autre
Before they run me out of town
Avant qu'ils ne me chassent de la ville
I have to leave somehow
Je dois partir d'une manière ou d'une autre
I have to leave somehow
Je dois partir d'une manière ou d'une autre
Before they run me out of town
Avant qu'ils ne me chassent de la ville
I have to leave somehow
Je dois partir d'une manière ou d'une autre
I have to leave somehow
Je dois partir d'une manière ou d'une autre
Before they run me out of town
Avant qu'ils ne me chassent de la ville
I have to leave somehow
Je dois partir d'une manière ou d'une autre
I have to leave somehow
Je dois partir d'une manière ou d'une autre
Before they run me out of town
Avant qu'ils ne me chassent de la ville
I have to leave somehow
Je dois partir d'une manière ou d'une autre
(Please sir I want some more)
(S'il vous plaît, Monsieur, je veux encore)

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.
