Lyrics and translation Chumbawamba - That's How Grateful We Are




That's How Grateful We Are
C'est comme ça qu'on est reconnaissants
OK, this one's called "Whitewash"
OK, celui-ci s'appelle "Blanchiment"
When was the very first time you saw Chumbawamba?
Quand as-tu vu Chumbawamba pour la première fois ?
In my dreams!
Dans mes rêves !
Ha!
Ha !
Working in a forge, black lungs, burnt skin
Travailler dans une forge, poumons noirs, peau brûlée
Callouses, arched back, hammering, hammering
Callosités, dos voûté, marteler, marteler
Stalin watching over us pigeon shit head
Staline nous surveille, tête de merde de pigeon
We'd spit on the floor at this red bastard god
On crachait par terre sur ce dieu rouge bâtard
That's how grateful we are
C'est comme ça qu'on est reconnaissants
(Repeat)
(Répéter)
Bronze statue, pink marble, built to last
Statue de bronze, marbre rose, construite pour durer
We brought him to his knees in a single night
On l'a mis à genoux en une seule nuit
And the boots that remained I attacked, I attacked
Et les bottes qui restaient, je les ai attaquées, je les ai attaquées
Hammering, hammering, the past is past
Marteler, marteler, le passé est passé
That's how grateful we are
C'est comme ça qu'on est reconnaissants
(Repeat)
(Répéter)
Scrub away, scrub away
Frotter, frotter
And the noise rang out, metal on metal
Et le bruit a retenti, métal sur métal
Pigeons flit, dust settled
Les pigeons volent, la poussière s'est déposée
Out from the shadows we took to the streets
On est sortis de l'ombre et on est allés dans la rue
David chopping at the giant's feet
David tranchant les pieds du géant
That's how grateful we are
C'est comme ça qu'on est reconnaissants
(Repeat)
(Répéter)
OK, we're gonna take it right, right, right, right down, way down
OK, on va l'abaisser, l'abaisser, l'abaisser, l'abaisser, tout en bas, très bas
What we need is a break from the old routine
Ce qu'il nous faut, c'est une pause par rapport à la vieille routine
(Repeat)
(Répéter)
Can I kick it? Yes you can!
Puis-je la démarrer ? Oui, tu peux !
(Repeat)
(Répéter)
There ain't no justice, just us
Il n'y a pas de justice, juste nous
(Repeat)
(Répéter)
OK, we've been doing this one quite a few nights running, but I'd like to take that one. Is that a yes? Which one, then?
OK, on la joue depuis quelques nuits, mais j'aimerais la reprendre. C'est oui ? Laquelle alors ?
Goodbye girl, goodbye girl...
Au revoir, fille, au revoir, fille...
Martin McLaren, Archer, Anais Nin...
Martin McLaren, Archer, Anais Nin...
Well, basically, Chumbawamba are the sort of metals of the pop world
Eh bien, en gros, Chumbawamba est le genre de métal du monde de la pop
The old groups, they're not concerned with what there is to be learned
Les vieux groupes, ils ne se soucient pas de ce qu'il y a à apprendre
They sell 501s and they think it's funny, turning rebellion into money
Ils vendent des 501 et ils trouvent ça drôle, de transformer la rébellion en argent
Can I kick it?
Puis-je la démarrer ?
This songs become a bit irrelevant now, innit, we may as well just go off now. Couple of yous could just get up and we'll just fuck off. I'm into that man, you know, 'cause I've got a hot chocolate waiting for me back there. There's, uh, quite a bit of anti-Criminal Justice Bill sentiment down in front here. Excellent!
Cette chanson est devenue un peu désuète maintenant, n'est-ce pas ? On pourrait aussi bien partir maintenant. Vous pourriez juste vous lever et on se casse. J'y suis pour ça, tu sais, parce que j'ai un chocolat chaud qui m'attend là-bas. Il y a, euh, pas mal de sentiment anti-Criminal Justice Bill dans le public. Excellent !
What we need is a break from the old routine
Ce qu'il nous faut, c'est une pause par rapport à la vieille routine
(Repeat)
(Répéter)
You still want to come? Too late, too late
Tu veux toujours venir ? Trop tard, trop tard
We're cut and we're fallen like harvested wheat
On est coupés et on est tombés comme du blé récolté
But we lived on our feet, at least, at last
Mais on a vécu sur nos pieds, au moins, enfin
And we will live on our feet, at least, at last
Et on vivra sur nos pieds, au moins, enfin
That's how grateful we are
C'est comme ça qu'on est reconnaissants
(Repeat)
(Répéter)
You still want to come? Too late, too late
Tu veux toujours venir ? Trop tard, trop tard
We're cut and we're fallen like harvested wheat
On est coupés et on est tombés comme du blé récolté
But we lived on our feet, at least, at last
Mais on a vécu sur nos pieds, au moins, enfin
We will live on our feet, at least, at last
On vivra sur nos pieds, au moins, enfin
That's how grateful we are
C'est comme ça qu'on est reconnaissants
That's how grateful
C'est comme ça qu'on est reconnaissants
Ta
Merci

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.
